Terrible experience. Was there for Happy Hour expecting a taste of what might have been in the main restaurant. The menu read well but the quality and execution was awful. Beef tenderloin screwers wrapped in bacon were tough as leather, certainly wasn't tenderloin but a cheap cut of meat keeping the food cost inline. Roast beef sandwiches again were filled with a tough cheap cut of meat making them inedible. Boiled prawns in beer were tiny, with three to a plate and finally the Buffalo Chicken wings were pathetic and tasteless. Overall a very poor representation of what is supposed to be one of Seattles top steak houses. If you are going to try and attract new clientele by offering a happy hour menu then get it right and be proud of what you are serving. Try and knock each dish out of the park if you want us to step across the line and eat on the other side. With our happy hour experience we will never cross that line... You guys obviously don't get it! Your only saving grace was a decent gin and tonic, but then that's pretty hard to mess up... Won't be back..
