Due to the storm, they were busier than usual, as stated by two different employees. I expected that; however, it took a little bit to order my meal, not a big deal, as I wasn't it great big hurry. After ordering, the server/bartender eventually asked if I had received my salad yet. When I replied no, she went to get it and brought it to me just as the meal was arriving. The manager said he would recook my steak and allowed me time to eat the salad. Not sure it was recooked, or just kept under the heat lamp. The steak was mediocre at best, not horrible, but not great. The potato had the wrong toppings than what I ordered, and after serving the meal to me, I was never again asked how it was. It wasn't until I was completely finished and awaiting to be addressed before I had to ask for my check. Again, I realize they were busy, but I certainly could tell that I was not a regular at the bar, as many others appeared to be, with whom the one bartender regularly interacted and seemingly complained about the busyness of the restaurant.
