DO NOT WASTE MONEY HERE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

DO NOT WASTE MONEY HERE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

This restaurant is comically bad. From beginning to end, it was a complete disaster and demonstration that the management has no idea how to run a higher-end restaurant. Honestly, what I saw tonight points to management that couldn't run a greasy spoon diner.

1.) Before we go, we call to ask what type of steak selection they have. The person answering the phone was so confused and scattered, we went in thinking there were no dry aged steaks sold there any longer. That turned out to not be true, but it would have been wonderful if that was their only mistake.

2.) We arrive and ask for seating outside. Please understand - the place was 75% empty. We are told all tables outside are taken and would we like a table. We follow her thinking we will be given one of the tables near the windows since there are none outside. Better than nothing, right? Nope, instead, she takes us to a table as far away from the window as possible right in the middle of a high traffic area. We ask for a window seat and she looks like I just handed her a calculus test. We explain we would like a table with a view. This computes and she finally takes us to our table.

3.) The server, who spoke to us in the manner of a frustrated girls basketball coach, told us about the special of the evening, a dry aged (yippee!) 14 oz ribeye. We both ordered the special and I asked for a different starch and a shrimp skewer. What was eventually delivered was a completely different type of steak (a very tiny filet). No shrimp, no different starch. We were then told that the server didn't understand what the special of the night was and they would get us what we ordered out to us right away. Cut to twenty min later (to cook steaks to rare) and two very poor cuts of bland, tasteless meat arrive. I have had better steaks at a Golden Corral - not an exaggeration. The shrimp came along this time, but were, of course, cold. The different starch never arrived, but I didn't even ask given what a cluster the kitchen must be.

4.) Red wine was served ice cold. Obviously kept in the fridge.

5.) The table next to us had to send back one of their meals and it took over 20 min for them to get ANOTHER HAMBURGER. They weren't very happy either.

In a nutshell, the service and food is laughably bad and I would have been furious had I not been using a gift card somebody gave me. Avoid this restaurant at all costs - it's obvious that people who don't know the basics of restaurant management are now running it. It may have been a nice place in the past, but based on tonight's experience and the huge number of empty tables there on a Saturday night, it won't be long for the world.
