We came in for a reservation of 15 people at 7:30. It took around 45 minutes to get our drinks, except two were forgotten. By 8:30 everyone finally had their missing drinks and the server took our order. By 8:45 we got starters/appetizers, that part was quick. It took over an hour to finally get our meals. It was after 9:30 when they finally arrived and it was a disaster. Several steaks were ordered, 3 were cooked wrong. Those 3 were meant to be Medium Rare; one was blue rare, two were well done. For $60 steaks we expected a thick, juicy piece of meat, and most importantly cooked well. We all received giant slices of steak that were 1/2 an inch thick and lukewarm. They were bland and sad looking. One person ordered a prime rib special Well Done. I know prime rib tends to be pink but this one was bright pink. So what’s the point in even asking how we’d like it done? The prime rib was the evening’s special, yet it was still disappointing. I received the wrong side but at least they corrected that quickly. When these other issues were brought up to the server they avoided my problem/concerns and moved on to someone else. No apology or acknowledgement was offered, they didn’t care. I ate an over cooked steak because I was starving as we had been in the restaurant for over 2 hours at this point, and didn’t want to wait for a remake. I really can’t believe I didn’t even get an “I’m sorry about that.” Two people at the table ordered a second drink. One VIRGIN espresso martini, one regular alcoholic espresso martini. The drinks were good but BOTH contained alcohol. I’ll just say they served alcohol to a 16 year old… No one at the table was ID’d and there were several 16-19 year olds being offered drinks/wine. IDing is common practice, they are lucky they aren’t losing their liquor license over this. By the time we finally got the bill we had been there over THREE HOURS. The restaurant wasn’t very busy, yet the experience was still terrible. One of the only other tables in the restaurant was another large table right next to us. So 30 ish people in that space made it extremely loud. It was 10pm, the restaurant was nearly empty but I still couldn’t hear my family members 2 chairs down from me… The servers were attentive with water/ plates but I’m just astonished by the lack of care for issues and concerns. It was also quite crowded at the table, barely any room to set your drink down. We had this reservation for months and were expecting an excellent evening of fine dining. Safe to say not one out of the 15 people left the restaurant happy with their experience. It was a special occasion and we still made light of the evening because we were surrounded by family. We are all just very disappointed by the experience that this establishment provided. By the end were the last table to leave, right before 11:00. We were exhausted from spending our entire evening there. We had plans to have a campfire into the night but after that everyone just wanted to go home to bed. I would not recommend dining here, the small restaurants in Waskesiu are more worth your time. I’ll just say our bill was well over $1500 and not worth the...
