    I started with the “exceptional” salad and it was great. All 4 of us ordered the prime rib w/ baked potatoes- so delicious.

    This used to be my favorite restaurant. But haven’t been for ten years. Looking forward to a great evening. It was not good. The valet was nice, Maitre D was friendly. Now the bad. Waitress seemed to be annoyed by us being there. Not friendly or attentive. The food, Prime Rib was supposed to be M/R, it was well done. Scampi was overcooked and rubbery. Baked potato was huge but we needed extra sour cream, she brought creamy horseradish. Needless to say the potato tasted awful, she asked if we wanted a new one, we obviously did. $200 for what was supposed to be a special birthday dinner. Not happy. Didn’t even get offered a dessert. On a good note, the busboy was amazing to watch. Super fast and efficient.

    Valet is mandatory if you eat here. You must pay to valet your car if you want to eat here. I was unaware of this, self parked and the valet looked for me in the restaurant , embarrassed me by insinuating I tried to skip out on the valet and then demanded my keys. Atmosphere is very lively and loud with a piano bar with singer/crowd getting into it. Steaks were good but not worth the high price tag, which goes up when you add mediocre baked potatoe or any other side. 3 people. $400 bill with no alcohol. The highlight of our experience was our fantastic waitress Tracy. She was obviously extremely busy, looked like she was handling too many tables and yet she made time to ensure we were well taken care of. Thank you Tracy for outstanding service.
