Not worth it... After waiting for 20 minutes to get a table for 1 I sat down and asked for a menu. 30 minutes later the waiter came with their big wooden sailboat shaped menu and told me about the specials, and explained they had ran out of baked potatoes, really?? I ordered the prime rib and lobster with salad and rice do to the lack of baked potatoes. The bread arrived, hot but bland needing salt with the butter, can you just give us oil and vinegar then so there's some flavor? The salad arrived having very little but much needed blue cheese crumbles and more of a watery dressing also lacking flavor, basically runny mayonnaise with a little cheese. The prime rib was cooked correctly, tender and juicy. The butter sauce had no herbs, garlic or flavor, the horse radish sauce resembled a bland Cesar dressing with no kick. The rice was just basic bland rice. The lobster was cooked correctly but nothing special as for the seasoning besides a little red pepper as a colorful garnish on top. My suggestion would be to hire a new executive chef to re tool the recipes to have some flavor. I had a better meal the day before at a chain restaurant steakhouse with a coupon at less than half the price I paid here. Respect for the cooks, I know you have to follow the recipes they trained you on and I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about.
