Steak38

I will preface by saying this is long... I was encouraged to visit by family who dined and was pleased with the food... Myself and my Significant other visited last night... Greeted by 2 friendly hostesses and sat. Our Server arrived to the table and I asked for a recommendation for a drink and he responded with "I don't know, Ill ask" When he returned, my partner requested to start with apps and wanted the Bacon wrapped scallops and we were told "all out tonight" and no other suggestion offered... something I would expect in such establishment. So he decided to go with the Lobster bisque... He said good on flavor, a little thin, but it was good... We also ordered the tableside Ceasar for 2, and the gentleman whom prepared it was AMAZING!!! explained every detail as he prepared it... Loved his energy... We ordered the Ribeye with Mash and green beans, The Lobster Ravili Entree, a side of Mac and cheese, Side of Truffle Fries and Side of Broccoli Rabe.. we also ordered a Sinatra Highball and Cosmo 38 for Drinks... The food arrived...well... the rabe didnt..I asked and he said... "yeah, there isnt any" oh ok... carrying on... The Steak.. Cooked to perfection..seasoned by the GODS... Mash and green beans great... Mac and cheese, good... not great..but good... Truffle fries... was underwhelmed by truffle... surprisingly since they offer Truffle throughout menu... and the Lobster ravioli... We ate a total of 1.5 raviolis.. because it seemed to be a commercial Rav with the same lobster bisque atop.... The Server never returned, well until .. Ill tell you in a sec... he would of seen we didnt touch the Rav.. The bus girl however is very attentive..sweet and courteous... So now... after no plates on table, all food is boxed and bagged... The server comes to the table and asks if we are going to have dessert... My Other half giggles (in disgust) and declines... So the server with the check in hand... squeezes the check down on table between my 2 glasses and ME!!! not MY OTHER HALF...where the table is completely open... but literally almost touching me, if I was any closer to the table... He essentially gave me the check.... Well, thats where my partner finally lost it and said we would never return... He even said, maybe he saw my very expensive purse atop the table and thought I was funding this dinner..lol.. But its rude.. So my Partner takes out his Platinum Amex with arrogance to pay the bill that was given to me and we were bid a good day... We would however, return for the Steak and the Gentleman whom prepared the Ceasar Salad... and that alone... Def not our Service.. and maybe our Server was having a rough day, But in an establishment like this.. Where we were sampling Appetizers, Soups, salads, entrees, sides and drinks.. where you see that we were racking up the bill... Id take a shot of espresso, pinch my cheeks.. something... personally, and put on the charm... Sadly, it wasnt what Id thought it be... I chose not to post this to my Social Media following, which is subjectively large, mainly in part because I dont fault the restaurant..but the service it self. Yes, the Ravioli was sheer dissapointment... But my taste buds didnt like it.. Someone may love it.. No reason to bash anyone per say.. and not on a platform where I have traction and attention..

I like the atmosphere, and intimacy of Steak 38... I hope that this was just "one of those nights" for our server...
