We had dinner here on Saturday, Dec 2. I had a 5pm reservation and they were able to seat us a little early. We had a beautiful view on the outside patio. There was also live music, which was fantastic.

When we met our server, things began to go south. I DID NOT catch her name, but throughout he meal, she was rude, abrupt, and made several mistakes with our food. I leaned over and asked if her name was Erica, which another person in my party confirmed. Based on reviews I had read about poor service, it seemed every unhappy customer had Erica as a waitress. I am not quite sure why she still has a position here, frankly.

The next issue I had was with my food. Others in my party like their meal. I was extremely unhappy. I ordered the surf and turf kabobs. They are $22 and supposed to include a shrimp kabob with BBQ sauce and 2 tenderloin kabobs.

I asked for my meat rare, it was well done. MORE disappointing though was the fact it was not tenderloin. I work in a similar industry and deal with meat and meat cuts daily. This was sirloin at a tenderloin price. I truly felt duped because had it been described accurately, I would have gotten something else. I only chose that because it was advertised ON THE MENU as tenderloin. I don't know if that is typical for the restaurant or if they ran out of tenderloin unexpectedly that day, but I should have been advised of such. I should have asked for a refund or a replacement meal, but I am, always hesitant to do so.

Others on my party enjoyed their food, though one person had to wait nearly 20 minutes longer after the rest of us started eating before her dinner (lukewarm) showed up. This is a waitress error, not necessarily reflective of the kitchen, since it obviously had been sitting a bit. Another person didn't get their French fries until we had all finished eating. On a good note, he said the fries were the best he had ever tasted.

All in all, the experience had highs and lows. The most disappointing was the error on the beef with my kabobs (tenderloin and sirloin have a totally different texture and flavor). I also believe my meat was reheated, as it had that strange grainy texture that occurs when beef is reheated. The factcthat I ordered it rare was completely overlooked. On the good side, the view was amazing, the atmosphere was casual but welcoming, and the music was a nice touch. I would give this restaurant another try and another review if I ever get a coupon or something. I am on the mailing list
