The food is usually really good and tonight they're was a slight problem. My first had the steak, and she became really il. The steak was supposed to be medium, but some parts were rare. She didn't have symptoms initially, but about 30 minutes after we left, she had sharp pains in her stomach. After expelling the steak, she felt better. I like the spot and the steak needs an update.
