Father's day, walked in, walked to bar, no wait, delivered entire meal and apps as ordered, pleasant service and fast!
-
Prime Rib was overcooked tough.. They didn’t have any cuts under med when asked to replace..Steak wasn’t a good piece of meat and was way over priced! Asparagus was so wilted and thin couldn’t tell it was asparagus. Waiter said they would discount an appetizer for us but when check was delivered no discount and the waiter never came back. We will not be returning wasn’t worth the drive!!

Great at great prices, had live music outside! Everyone was friendly! Great place to eat!

The last two times I’ve been to this place and the service has been terrible. My most recent visit I called at 1pm for a 6:30pm reservation and the lady never put my name down apparently and I finally get too the restaurant and the only table available is soaking wet and moldy table. and the lady half ass dried off and left us with it like it was okay.

Great Food, clean
-
Went there for a show, was harassed immediately for sitting at a table. Was asked if I had a reservation, and if not to move. (move where?) I was with the band and so were around 18 others. Service was terrible. Noticed online menu with no pricing. That is a red flag for sure
-
Our waiter was slow, didn't seem to know what he was doing. The food was not good. Music was way too loud to enjoy.
-
The best filet I've ever had. Pittsburgh style was delicious. Great creamed spinach. Wait-staff Sean was engaging,helpful and patient.

While the atmosphere was nice, the service and food were poor at best. A group of 10 of us went for lunch today. We completely understand that it will take some time because of the number of us. Our waitress was terrible. Including our table, there were 18 people total in the restaurant. We ordered drinks, all sweet teas, a couple of ice waters and an Arnold Palmer. It took her more than half an hour to bring our drinks. She did bring bread to the table, 10 rolls and 4 pads of butter. She came back over 1/2 an hour later and took our food orders. Not one time did she let me know there is a $2.75 upcharge for onions and a $2.75 upcharge for mushrooms on sirloin tips. A friend ordered French onion soup as a side and she wasn't told she would be upcharged because it wasn't considered a side. Everything here is an upcharge so be forewarned. Over an hour later our food arrived. At no time did we see our waitress so we didn't have refills until lunch came. All our lunches were cold. The mashed potatoes weren't even mashed. It was like an inside out baked potato. The biggest insult came when one of the gentlemen ordered liver and onions. His was paper thin and burned black. He couldn't get a fork in it, nor could a steak knife cut it. He had to flag down the waitress who told him the "put the meat on another plate and she'd bring him another slab". Never in my life have I ever heard waitstaff tell someone to put their horrible meal in another plate and they'd bring more. She left…

The prime rib French dip sandwich was a slab of prime rib,not sliced. Difficult to eat. Spotty service. Hard to understand the popularity of this restaurant.
-

-
Really Love this place. Food was amazing! Everything fresh and tastefully. 100% recommended.
-
The food is good. The wine list could be better. The star for me is Sean, the server. We ask for him every time. He is attentive and caring.

3 of us girls went on a Thursday night. Not crowded. Very good. I’ve been here many times but never wrote the review. I had the 7 oz. Filet with mushrooms and blue cheese on top. Soooo good!! Had a blue cheese salad and it had dried cranberries in it. Nice touch! Went great with the blue cheese dressing. Glazed carrots were the side for the day and they were pretty good as well. It was very good!

Myself & my Husband have been to this place previously & thought it would be a great place to bring my Sister who was visiting from over seas, but OMG, was I WRONG. Where do I start with our experience, we were a party of 4 people, we were seated, the waitress came over after a long wait, took our drink order, came back after another long wait, my Sister ordered a bottle of sparkling Pellegrino with NO GLASS. Who Serves a bottled water with no glass??? We asked 2 separate waitresses to bring a glass, to be told, Yes, I'll be right back with that. Well, after waiting again, I had to go to the bar myself & ask for a glass. Food got delivered, absolutely horrendous, I had cornflake Chicken with mashed potatoes & green beans, absolutely terrible. Everything was so dry, no hint of seasoning anywhere. My Sister loves Salmon, so that's what she had with Asparagus & Hush puppies. She didn't get the sides she ordered, they got mixed up with my other friends meal. The hush puppies were delivered, they were like golf balls, no taste at all, very hard, just horrible. At this point, we just wanted to leave. To make the night better we got $5.00 taken off our bill, Yeahhhhhhh, give me a friggin break. A PIECE OF ADVISE, DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE.

Dined on a Tuesday, not a lot of customers. Good for a medium priced steakhouse. Would be great for special occasions.

I think they just had a bad night. We'll go back and see. This was oir first time there in long time. And service and the food was not what we remembered it to be. Every thing came out room temp. Except the appetizer which was perfect but we waited a very long time to get and came out barely before the meal. We think they forget it and made the entree then let them sit because we didn't get the app yet. Not sure just what we assumed.And there were a lot of flys buzzing around we really werent expecting that. Like I said we will give it another try but deffinatly was not worth the price of admission on this trip.

Great waiter.. had the best hair

Great food and nice atmosphere.

We have been here multiple times and love it but today we were seriously disappointed. My husband wanted to take me and the kids somewhere nice for Mother’s Day, we made a reservation and everything, we sat around for over 45 minutes and the waitress never came up to us got any type of order and we eventually just walked out with no help. Worst part was it wasn’t super duper busy and multiple tables around us had gotten their orders and ate and they were seated after us.
