Miserable experience on Sunday night. Our first course, the steamed mussels, were very undercooked, to the point of being nearly raw. Warm but raw mussels are not a treat. The waitress told us Thats just how we make them and offered no substitute or another set that was properly cooked. We eat mussels all the time, and honestly have never seen rare steamed mussels before. Then the steaks came. Both were supposed to be medium rare, and one was, but mine was absolutely raw. Considering on occasion I order my steaks rare, I have no problem eating a rare steak, but this was without a doubt actually raw. I cut the steak into pieces and saw it was raw throughout, and called the waitress over. A considerable amount of time passed, during which my husband ate his meal while I sat there. When my steak finally arrived, I am not kidding, they have throw my cut up steak pieces into a pan, cooked them past well done, and then gave them back to me! They must have been sitting for a while and were also absolutely cold. I didn t touch them, and the waitress just shrugged when I pointed out my steak nibbles were now beyond well done. She seemed surprised we didn t want to buy dessert as well. We spent about 100 dollars on a completely inedible, miserably prepared meal. No apollogies, no offer of a substitution, just the bill. They couldn t have cared less. I have no idea where the good reviews are coming from...probably friends and relatives. It really honestly doesn t get any worse. I went home and had crackers for dinner.
