    First time diners at Medium Rare. The steak, ordered medium rare, was fine. Gravy on the steak gave it flavor. Bread and fries were outstanding. Salad was fresh though too much dressing. A hot fudge sunday for dessert was piled high with whipped cream. Bar cocktails were properly made and a glass of cabernet sauvignon hit the mark. As others have said, the meal is a good value. The negatives are that the food comes out too quickly (before we finished our cocktails) and the restaurant is noisy.

    It is a good deal and nice ambiance, but food is slightly salty especially the sauce with the steak.
