   The last two times we've gone we've had the same problem. If you're sitting anywhere on the outside edges of the place you are missed by the meat skewers. I just order the market table (salad bar) which is exquisite and worth every penny. The EXPENSIVE meat experience, which is what my husband, sons and the newbie guests we brought ordered was SO DISAPPOINTING the last two times we've gone. We waited 35 min for THE FIRST meat skewer to come by after watching numerous be out of meat by the time they passed our table. We finally flagged someone down and asked for some to be sent our way. I ate my serving from the market table while no one else at the table had anything. Just watched me eat and enjoy😂 Obviously the meat that came was delicious as always, but we just weren't getting the variety that we've had in the past. Like I said.. this was also the case last time but we gave it another chance. Not sure my husband will spend the $$ again. Makes me sad because the food is delicious and the servers are very friendly.

   The overall greetings from the hostess is worse than last time we visited, about a year ago. They waved at us to lead us to the table instead of something like “please follow me “, or “this way please”. They got some new meat cutter/server, one lady who talked and waved the knife while she was talking and cutting the tomahawk at a table, it was narrow and busy between tables. Meat cutter don’t come our way very often, we have not seen filet mignon nor ribeye come our way, we would need to ask for them with our server. Food quality is so so, not good as used to be. I would expect more for $67/person meal.

   The food was good. However I will never come here again on a holiday. We booked a reservation for 5:15 and we're not even seated till 6:30. That's completely unacceptable. I had two young children with me. I talked to other families who had reservations who had been waiting 1.5 hours. What is the point of having us secure reservations if it doesn't even matter?? Do better.

   Christmas Day. They overbooked and really crammed in tables. Wait staff are great. Meat servers were hard to get in our seating area , each table in that section complained. Overall food was only fine - not their best night- would not recommend for a holiday!

   Worth the wait if you have a reservation and still have to wait to be seated after 20 minutes. Once seated they cater to your every need. Food was amazing!

   Definitely not as good as other locations of this chain. The staff just doesn’t seem to care. The salad bar items are lower quality and the selection is much smaller. They were very stingy with the meat. They would cut one tiny, thin slice and then dash away.
