The food was lousy, the waitress was rude, talked too fast and too softly, was self-important and made the food sound a heck of a lot better than it turned out. The staff was extremely interested in selling us bottled water, expensive wine and drinks, but not a decent meal. The atmosphere was stuffy and awkward, making us feel uncomfortable. When the food arrived, I ordered a chicken and pasta dish, I felt like I was playing Where's Waldo with the chicken. It was mixed with the pasta (which was bland, but plentiful), but I also had to look for the bleu cheese and walnuts, which were apparently in the witness protection program. The dessert sounded grandiose. However, the only grandiose thing about my chocolate cake was the price. The actual cake was smaller than a hockey puck, but was quite rich and tasty (I recommend you eat it slowly, as there's not much of it to enjoy).

I'm not looking for anything other than good food and service and am happy to pay. Shame on the management. Horrible experience and food.

So if you want to pay a lot, get treated rudely, have a minimal amount of real food, this is the place for you. Otherwise, Macaroni Grill or Olive Garden will be a better choice.
