    The steak had to be sent back because it was tough and the new steak was more tender but not seasoned as well. But it seemed all the waiters cared about was that it was the right temperature. Lobster Mac was bland and I’m a huge Mac fan but I couldn’t eat it. Mashed potatoes were gluey. Stomach aches the rest of the night. Waitress was nice but the time in between seeing her was just sooo long. I just wanted to get the check and go. For that amount of money I rather go to Capital Grille

    I had the steak and wedge salad. The steak was chewier than I would have expected. The vegetables and polenta were delicious. Our waiter was fantastic.

    Our meal was excellent, but I was disappointed that the Louisiana skillet also known as Cajun fillet was off the menu. It was a wonderful meal to have there. We also noted that there were no vegetarian options. However the main takeaway was at the food was absolutely superb
