This was the second time coming to this pave for breakfast on Sunday. The first time was great, the staff was friendly and the food was good. This time was very much doom and gloom from the moment we walked in. The staff was all very hum drum, seemed miserable to be working there. Almost everyone of the staff members had made a mistake, like forgetting one lady's danish, then my husband's coffee cup. This wasn't a big deal though. I asked if they had lemons for water, the gentleman was really nice about it and said he would cut some and bring them out shortly. No problem, I went to our table and after a few minutes I walked back in to get my water and lemons. I stood patiently,not saying anything, I could see he was finishing up placing them in the bowl about to bring the lemons out. I overheard (not that it was said softly) one of the staff sarcastically say, "you better get those lemons out cause apparently the world is ending without them." She had no problem saying it plenty loud enough for me to hear. I then walked in to say something to the manager who was very sweet...I think perhaps the problem is she didn't require better, more professional and friendly behavior from her staff. The one person who was friendly and didn't act like it was an inconvenience to help the customers was the one gentleman working there. I wish I had gotten names...with all that said, they need to be better staffed and/or perhaps trained to have better attitudes since it didn't seem to be common sense to them. We ended up walking out after taking with the manager. I was happy about that too because the food liked awful, unlike the first time we went there. We won't...

We came in chasing stars—well, 4.5 of them at least—and the promise of a Prime Rib Special. What we got was a performance best described as “Waiting for Godot,” but with more water glasses and fewer refills.

From the jump, our waitress (Ava) was MIA. When she finally appeared, she brought water (hooray!) but forgot the lemon. We asked again. And again. Apparently, citrus is harder to find than the Lost Ark.

The Prime Rib arrived… and so did confusion. My plate was cold enough to register as an Antarctic outpost, while the Open Face Prime Rib Sandwich next to it was basking in Florida sunshine. Medium, we had asked. Medium, it was not. The hostess, bless her, tried: “That’s definitely not Medium.” Correct! It was more like cryogenic.

We declined a do-over because, frankly, we’d grown attached to our chairs after the long wait. Instead, the hostess slid us a $5 coupon as if to say, “Please, gamble again!” Spoiler: we’re not rolling those dice.

When our waitress reappeared—after socializing like a campaign manager at another table—she was thrilled to announce she knocked $8 off our $65 bill. Meanwhile, our water glasses sat drier than Death Valley.

And then came the kicker: a “Kitchen Sur-Charge.” So let me get this straight—I paid extra for the privilege of cold Prime Rib? If irony were edible, I’d have left stuffed.

Final Thought: If you enjoy scavenger hunts (for lemons, servers, and hot food), this is your place. If not, save yourself the “sur-charge” and head somewhere your steak comes warmer than your...
