Seven Fires Steakhouse — Restaurant in Twin Lakes Township

First I would like to say, I'm not trying to bash this restaurant, I'm just trying to send a message to who's running this place. So many restaurants have gone downhill since 2020 and it's a pity. I gave one star for our excellent waitress. She was sweet and accommodating but unfortunately, she like the hostess, knew nothing much about the food except what was the most popular. The second star was for an ICE COLD, glass and beer!!! My husband was happy. We started out with the soy/whiskey wings. When they came out they were very very dark and shiny, which is not particularly a bad thing and they were piping hot! The unfortunate thing is that they were so SALTY you could not eat them. They literally tasted like someone dunked them in salt. We actually "left" wings on the plate! Who does that? Secondly, we had the bacon wrapped shrimp, which were again unfortunately pretty salty. The bacon was really really smoky. The third appetizer was the best and it was the tenderloin tips with the béarnaise sauce, which were tender and quite excellent. Now we go on to the Caesar salad which wasn't really a Caesar at all. It was big and loaded but it had that smoky smoky bacon and tons of shave parmesan which made the salad very SALTY!!!! The last course was the prime rib, which we both had, one a queen cut and one a king cut. Unfortunately, the queen cut was overdone and sent back. Both cuts were dry and flavorless and the au jus was super SALTY. The au gratin potatoes were also loaded with that smoky bacon and they were SALTY. So my message to this establishment is cut the salt!!!! By the way, I like salt.....My other observation is kind of strange but when you entered the restaurant, you couldn't smell the food cooking. All in all, I think the theme of my review is known now, so make your...

The first booth we were seated at the seat was broken and was sinking near to the floor. When brought to the attention of the staff I was told that "yeah they refuse to fix it" I asked to be moved to another table and the staff seemed very frustrated to move my date and I. The bread starter was dry and bland. We both ordered the ribeye steak, medium rare and recieved a well done approximately half inch thick steak. The Ceasar salad tasted nothing of anchovies and was loaded with bacon for some reason. The vegetables were Blue broccoli, yes I did say BLUE, and some carrot slices. The steak fries I ordered were straight from Sam's Club. The only positive was my date ordered the au gratin potatoes. Those were tasty. The restaurant smelled of cleaning rags and solution. Overall a terrible experience. I can not recommend nor say I would return. The Seven Fires is way to expensive...

I’d love to give them 5 stars as the food is delicious and the wait staff is always spectacular but when I recently tried to have lunch there the host failed miserably. She was typing on a tablet when I entered at 12:45 PM on a weekday, one other party in the restaurant. She said “sorry, I’m messaging a guest” and continued typing for 2-3 more minutes while we waited to be seated. She said sorry twice more during that time but kept typing and making us wait so I turned around and walked out. I worked for 25+ years in customer service and one of the first principles I learned is that the customer in font of you is ALWAYS the priority over a customer on the phone (or in this case online). I...
