The server was excellent: attentive, prompt and accommodating. My salad came out fine. I've had fresher, but nothing to complain about. The shrimp "prawns" side I ordered came out decent-to-good. They were well cooked, but not recently and were fairly small. They certainly didn't justify the $9 additional charge. The baked potato was average; up to the quality I might expect from a Wendy's. It was still hot from the steam bin it came from but the toppings were not fresh and they clearly do not use real sour cream. Now on to the steak: I mourn the loss of the bovine that went into making this unpalatable concoction. I don't know what kind of recent Denny's graduate they have back in their kitchen, but my $30, 3/4"-thick NY strip steak tasted like, and was at the temperature as though, they had cooked it two or more hours earlier then kept it under a distant heat lamp until it was ordered. It was boring, flavorless, and tough. I ate half and put the rest aside, then swung by McDonald's on the way home. I would caution anybody not to get their hopes up before eating here. In attempting to provide a fully-fair review, my wife said that she had no complaints about her prime rib, but that it also wasn't good enough to ever truly desire to return.
