I want to start by saying that we are laid back people and I've never sent a meal back in my life, until tonight. The server was ok and the place was nice, the food was another story. My son started French onion soup and enjoyed it. I order the mussles and they were spoiled. When I sent them back I got the impression it wasn't the first time. I felt bad but I wasn't going to eat them and get sick. My mom and son each ordered NY strip steaks, medium rare and I ordered filet mignon medium rare. There's came out properly cooked however mine was blue rare and literally cold to the touch. At this point I was irritated. I looked around to find my waiter and to my surprise, the only waiter I saw was the one with his head down on the front desk and his eyes closed. Seriously.... I called over to him and he popped up. At the same time, our server came to the table. I showed him my steak and to my surprise he said it looked fine. He asked if I wanted it cooked more. He brought back the same steak withe 2 cuts through it. (We are talking about a "steakhouse" charging over $65 per steak, sides $12.00 extra) It was still blue rare but not cold when it came back. My mom doesn't mind rare so I traded her. All the steaks didnt seem to be seasoned and just tasted like heavy charbroil. The kicker was while we were waiting for our bill, one of the cooks came through the front door, past our table into the kitchen with a bag full of snacks and Gatorade. We watched as they opened a big bag of Doritos and dump them on the prep table and all sit around and eat them. Maybe I'm being picky about the last part but after everything else, I'm super irritated.
The total bill was $270.00 for a very sub par meal. I feel like we could have gotten better at an Applebee's.
We are very disappointed this was our "nice steak dinner" to end a cpl...
Read moreI am not one to be picky at restaurants but this place, at least for lunch, sucked.
The waiter handed us dinner menu’s at 1PM. We had to ask for the lunch menus. He purposely handed the dinner menus because the prices are more expensive than the exact same items on the lunch menu. The waiter asked if we wanted water in the beginning, and brought out a bottle of water that they charged $10 for. This is a ridiculous price and they purposely didn’t add a beverage section in the menu so that you can’t know how much they charge for it. There was no AC in the restaurant and it felt unbearably humid. They had the TV blaring so loud, at the bar, and it was very annoying throughout the time we were there eating. I ordered a steak sandwich and I couldn’t finish my meal because the steak tasted like it had gone bad. The quality of the food we ordered honestly wasn’t the best. The waiter barely ever passed by and we couldn’t even get his attention. In the end he added his own service fee in the bill hiving himself around 18% tip. We were just a group of three and usually service fees are automatically added for groups.
Personally, I think that for the price you can find so many better restaurants in New York and this place just...
Read moreI really liked the ambiance. The music was good and not too loud. I didn’t even need to wear earplugs, as I often do these days to protect me from getting much worse migraines.
I sat at the bar, since it was only me, but tho the bar wasn’t busy and service was friendly, it was very slow.
The food was wonderful! I’m glad I made the choices I did, tho of course nothing I wanted was included in the happy hour specials. The fried calamari was some of the best I’ve had tho it was observed with a little bit of cocktail sauce and a huge thing of tartar sauce. I’m sure I could have gotten more cocktail sauce, since I don’t like tartar sauce, but it wasn’t necessary. The calamari was so good.
The lobster bisque was delicious and the picture can’t show you that it was full of lobster. There was a LOT more lobster than a lobster bisque normally contains and the price was about normal for a lobster bisque with one tiny piece of lobster.
The iced tea was a bit out of control. If I’m going to be charged $5 per glass of iced tea, that glass should be larger than the ones they use AND not 90% ice. That much for a glass of ice with a splash of iced tea is extreme.
I’d still return, since the food was wonderful and hopefully I just got unlucky with...
