A great restaurant suffering from a lack of innovation and updating during the last 1t years.
Tl;Dr - go for the sauteed mushroom appetizer and amazing steak, but don't expect much from anything else, and hurry cause it's on the way out.
Also, offer offer more side options with the steak. Steamed veggies or soup or something. You make a lot of it every night and throw it out if you don't sell it, giving a small bowl as a side costs just as much as throwing it out.
I went here tonight with my boyfriend and our dinner was super late so the cook apologized and charged us only half. We appreciated it so much we paid the full bill plus 6 more dollars we will go back
They value a single trip to their salad bar at $8 and some change. While they have beets, pickles, peppercinis and some prepared salads up there, they need to have more variety. Red and yellow peppers, cucumber slices, chick peas, shredded carrot (instead of just baby carrots), snap peas, broccoli, shredded cabbage, kidney beans, mushrooms, radish slices, tomato slices, blue cheese crumbles, and sliced almonds all come to mind. For like $50 a night they could make that salad bar worth the $8.00 for unlimited trips.
The sauteed mushrooms served with the steak are horrible. Despite being made on site every night, they have the texture and flavor of canned because they're allowed to saturate in broth for the evening. They could fix this by making them by the pan like they do for the appetizers.
The good - the steaks are always amazing. They're well cooked, perfectly seasoned, and just beautiful cuts of meat. The steak is to die for. The sauteed mushroom appetizer is also perfectly cooked and worth the price.
The good and the service were excellent! Company Christmas party. The place was packed and the employees took great care of our party!
Ordered the ribeye dinner and was superb. The most tender, cut with a fork, steak I have had. No frills steakhouse with AYCE salad bar. Come for the meat!
The not so good - the place needs to step up the rest of their game or lower their prices.
That and offering specials would bring in more business. It's sad to see a place going down hill this way.
Not a big BEEF lover but their steak is really good. The unique thing here is that they will allow you to cook your own on an open grill if your confident. I had them cook mine medium rare and it was very tasty without and condiments. Thought the place was a little pricey, but I understand that beef is expensive. That's why I love CHICKEN! LOL Give them a try if in the neighborhood.
