We reserved on Open Table for a birthday dinner on the patio. We love the patio and we were here because we enjoyed our previous visit so much. We were seated in a small side area with four tables, the furthest away from the main patio area as possible. It was surprisingly loud here. I don't recall a noise problem last time, but we enjoyed bopping to the music.

You can see from my previous reviews that I am not a picky person. I don't write reviews just to complain. Maybe I am just unlucky, because there were many small things wrong with our visit.

Our waiter was very polite and likeable, and he helped when things went wrong. The restaurant can do better to make his work easier.

My bread plate was dirty with some gritty substance stuck to it along with a separate mystery drop of something yellow. It was promptly changed out after I asked about it. Then two of my dinner companions noticed my water glass was dirty, whereas all the other glasses looked clean. It didn't bother me, but one of them insisted that I change it out.

The complimentary bread was excellent. The waiter offered to bring more, but it never came and we didn’t ask him a second time.

We ordered two prime rib dinners, and appetizers from Happy Hour. I really enjoyed my tuna tartare with avocado, especially with the lime juice, and my bacon wrapped scallops. I would order them again.

The prime rib dinners were 10 oz and 14 oz, but it was hard to believe the 14 oz was 40% bigger, because it looked very similar to the 10 oz in diameter, and did not look 40% thicker but it was definitely thicker. Maybe the 10 oz was oversized? I'll never know for sure. The Oneida knives provided to cut the beef were not up to the task... they were all dull and so you needed some strength and patience to saw through the prime rib.

One of our dinner companions was 15 minutes late. This might have contributed to the problem of not receiving both of the prime rib sliders we ordered, as one was ordered by me before she came, and then she ordered one for herself. The waiter graciously said it was his error, but I asked for the second slider to be cancelled as I was already full when we asked about it. Unfortunately, when the bill came, the second slider was still on the bill. This was happily corrected.

We asked for a water glass for the late arriving companion, and it did not come until much later. By then, her drink had arrived so we just asked for an empty glass so we could share her cocktail.

We did not ask for the birthday Billy Miner Pie because the birthday woman was full.

It was a busy evening so we can understand if there were some hiccups in service. Overall we were disappointed with the service. We had a total of four different servers bringing out our food. This may have contributed to the errors. One server came out with a third tuna tartare when we had only ordered two. And we had to ask for the second one because it didn’t arrive in a timely fashion.

Being a waiter at a busy restaurant must be very difficult. I don't think I could do it well and remember so many things. I would recommend coming here when it is less busy because the food was still good. But if you want clean dishes and accurate service on a busy night, this would not be my first choice.
