We’ve been in town for several weeks on a job and Ribeyes was the first restaurant we tried. They were doing construction on the outside so we were a little confused on which door to enter. We went in the first door from the parking lot and kind of felt like we were slipping in the back door.
There was not hostess stand but we continued to see patrons come in thru that door so I guess it is the actual entrance. We walked into a banquet room that had a large party going on. We walked around the corner and the place was nearly empty and no one greeted us so we opted to just sit at the bar. It appeared there was a hostess stand across the room. (Atmosphere would have been 5 stars if there hadn’t been confusion on where to go and sit)
The atmosphere was nice and felt a more bit upscale than i expected. There was candle light on the tables and live music (which was really good!)
The bartender (maybe the owner, too) was very friendly and attentive, even while training another bartender. We ordered fried mozzarella and cocktails. The cocktails were strong and tasty but the appetizer was disappointing; especially considering the atmosphere, menu, and prices. I describe food like that as “sysco” food…right out of the sysco freezer and onto my plate. Even the marinara sauce was a fast food plastic/peel back cup.
He ordered the ribeye and I ordered a salad. The salad was just ok. Nothing special and bottled dressing…Sysco, as well as the roll and potato.
It took a long time to finally get the steak meal to the table and then the server heard us talking about the steak being under cooked and took it back. After waiting again, it was decent but the preparation or cut of meat was nothing special that would warrant “market price”.
I felt like everything we had was unnecessarily overpriced. We travel/eat out a lot and don’t mind spending money for a fine dining experience and delicious dinner. That night our bill was over 120$ for one steak, a hard baked potatoes, an extra side salad, frozen cheese sticks, and a couple of single liquor cocktails each.
When dining in a restaurant with prices like this, I expect exceptional quality and flavor and it just wasn’t there.
Others that travel with our work crew dined on a separate occasion and had the same experience. It’s unfortunate because the potential for an amazing...
Read moreThe ambience was terrible. Even though we sat in the restaurant they left the door to the bar open and we could not hear ourselves talk over the karaoke singers. Our waitress did not put our order in when she took it the first time. So 20min later she comes back and retakes our order. When we finally get our food almost an hour after we got to the restaurant, 3 of our orders(half of our party) were incorrect. One order was so incorrect my friend just sent the whole plate back and did not eat. We asked for things like ketchup, crackers, etc and never got them. When we finally asked for the ticket to pay and leave we realized why our order was so incorrect. The waitress still didn’t have a ticket for us. We had to tell them what we ordered so that they could create a ticket for us to pay. Because of this, it took almost 30min to settle our bill(we didn’t get separate checks, it was all together). And with all of this they tacked on gratuity of 20% because we were a party of six. I will never eat there again. No one apologized for the...
Read moreWent on a Thursday night, there was 1 waitress working abt six tables (15 +/- people) and 1 woman walking around hee hawing w the customers she knew. Little things added up to make the experience mediocre. Told to sit where i wanted - first and second tables I chose were dirty. Waitress seemed to be at limit of what she could handle. If we needed something, it seemed to take forever to be able to catch her to ask for crackers, extra napkins and drink refills. I finally had to take my glass up to the cook line to get it refilled. Atmosphere is dark and dated. Food was actually good. I had a catfish po boy. The bread was great, homemade like. Traded out fries for a salad w homemade garlic dressing. My mother had four points chicken w baked sweet potato and salad w homemade comeback dressing, she said it was great. I think the waitress was doing her best and the woman from hee haw could have been watching the tables for drinks and minor needs of...
