Honest opinions. So sorry if they offend, but maybe could be use to improve some inconsistencies. We went here upon a recommendation. We waited 20-30 min upstairs in the waiting room/bar area. Every chair was taken up there, so we got a drink and hung out by their awards, deciding what to eat off the online menu. (No big deal, sorta fun, we met a great couple to chat with). The restroom up there is so small my knees touched the door, and my toes poked out from under it while seated. I can't imagine an elderly or larger woman than me trying to use those 2 stalls. (I am an average size 10, 5' 5", 30yo). At our table, we had an agreeable, nice waitress. No complaints about our service from them. I ordered bacon wrapped 6oz filet, which came with steamed veggies and a house salad. Salad came first, with the entire top of my salad bowl covered in thick house dressing. Some seasoning was sprinkled on top as well? I picked around and tried to find the "nicely dressed" pieces. That was beyond excessive. No one wants to eat fork-fulls of mayonnaise y'all. My husband ordered his dressing on the side, and it came served in an overfilled, spilling side dish. The waitress apologized as she set it down realizing how sloppily plated it was. Who plated that? Steak came and initially I noticed how undercooked my bacon piece looked. No biggie, scoot it off and enjoy the flavors it gave. I was asked to cut in and check my steak, and I was put off, but HATE sending things back. I gave a hesitant nod and assumed I could just eat around the center (that looked way too raw). As I cut more, I noticed the inside cook was blue. I have always ordered med-rare, and realize that varies to some chefs. I can roll with a little over, a little too bloody...but this steak was blue inside. I asked to have it cooked more and then it was good. Nice flavor at least! Melted butter would have made it better. Veggies were steamed perfectly but had zero seasoning...after I added S&P at the table I decided that was my favorite thing there! I was just expecting more. Ambiance is alright because it is a cool historic building, but it is being neglected. Service was great because our waitresses were very helpful and maintained composure well with a FULL house. Food was just so-so.
