Full disclosure: We came during restaurant week, where they do a 3 course meal for $33 as a promotion.

Above all, my main issue is the service. I can accommodate a few bad food items as an off night, but bad service is inexcusable. Our waiter treated us, and the tables around us, as second class. He was brash and generally rude. Our overall time was 2 and a half hours sat, with food in front of us for maybe 30 minutes.

We didn't see our waiter with water for the first 2 courses. He walked by the check with my credit card 3 times while it sat for 20 minutes, and 20 minutes more before we had it back

The silverware was kind of dirty and we had to scratch things off.

Ordered the fillet minion with scallops, a salad, and creme brulee. The salad was iceberg lettuce, Kraft bacon bits, and ranch dressing.

The steak was a large cut (unexpected) and cooked rare as ordered, but wasn't seasoned. At all. It also had a kind of vulgar iron taste; I suspect they got cheaper cuts for restaurant week. Honestly, I'd prefer a strip or a smaller fillet than a large, gross fillet.

The creme brulee was thin and soupy.

I'm willing to pay more for decent food, but this wasn't decent. I'd honestly prefer they just serve better food in smaller portions if there's a promotion.

I would rather go to The Reiger for their KC Strip; it's a better cut that's better seasoned and cheaper (it's also got a better atmosphere). Hell, I'd go to Anton's for a fillet and cook it myself.

We won't be back, ever.
