   The service was extremely slow. It took 15 minutes to get water, 25 to get drink orders in, 50 to get our salads, and 65 to get our entrees. They were out of the two appetizers we ordered and the French onion soup was so salty we had to send it back. It was comped. Wanted to like it since it’s so close to us but won’t be returning, very slow service. Need to get rid of the table side salad thing we saw at other tables- they do not have the staffing currently to support that.

   Steaks and fish were excellent, properly cooked, full of flavor, and nicely presented. Sides were plentiful and tastefully prepared. The raw bar items were fresh, and the French onion soup was excellent. The warmed spiced apple cake with vanilla ice cream was a great way to end this fabulous dining experience.

   Excellent from the time we walked through the door. Our waitress was bright and friendly and very attentive. The food was amazing and we took dessert home because we were too full to eat it there. A+, we will definitely return.

   Great Monday evening business meal. Colleen, our waitress, was very friendly and attentive. The food was great. The drinks were solid. Felt bad it wasn’t very busy. Would like to see the place succeed.

   First of all, our server, Lindsey, was excellent. When we first ordered, she warned me that the prime rib was coming out more medium well than medium rare. I decided to give it a chance. My husband ordered the wild mushroom pasta and added shrimp to it. Drinks, salad, bread, and french onion soup were good. Our food arrived, and I was served the most mournful piece of meat I've seen in a long time. It was well done and definitely not worth anything near $60. I don't even think it was 16oz. It was sliced pretty thin for prime rib. The au jus was the only thing that made it edible. I was warned, so I didn't send it back. My husband liked his pasta. However, it only came with one shrimp. He had to order and wait for 2 more shrimp. The menu did not specify that when adding shrimp, you would only get 1. It could have been much clearer. Dessert time! I ordered the chocolate mousse, and my husband got the creme brulee. He liked his, but the mousse tasted like coffee. I didn't remember reading that on the menu, so I asked our server. After speaking with a couple of people (one of whom confidently declared that chocolate mousse is made with coffee. I have never had it prepared that way) it was determined that the chef makes it with espresso beans, but they don't say so on the menu. I dislike coffee and certainly don't want surprise espresso at 8:30 at night, so it was sent back. We may give Speers another chance. Everyone has bad days, right? But the fact that a place trying to be a high-end steak house sent out that embarrassing piece of meat in the first place gives me pause. There are much better options in the area.

   I took my wife and two daughters for a Saturday Valentine’s Day dinner. Everything we had was delicious. The drinks were good, appetizers were great, entrées were amazing. We really enjoyed our experience with our server, had a great personality. Everything came out timely, he was very attentive. It was just an incredible experience

   Overall it was a decent experience. Wait service was solid. I was skeptical since reviews said otherwise but our waitress was great. I took off a star because seating exp was poor. We got there 10 min to our res and watched 6 tables get seated before us. Despite that we really only waited around 10 minutes or so. It just felt odd. Also, we requested a booth and if not possible then a seat next to the fireplace. I asked through the msging feature on OpenTable so not sure if they saw. If they did they made no effort because as we were seated 2 booths were available and also a two top literally right next to the fireplace. We even asked to be moved but they said all the other seats had a res. Other than that it was smooth sailing. We started w/ 2 dirties and oysters. We’d prob skip the oysters. I enjoyed but my wife didn’t. Shared the blackberry salad, delish. My wife got the crab cake app as an entree which was very good and a smart play cause it was rich and bigger than a baseball. I ordered the 10 oz fillet medium. It came out medium rare to rare which I was ultimately fine with. I’m not picky and strategically ordered it over my usual of medium rare having asked the waitress what she would recommend ordering to get a hot pink center and she advised medium. It came warm red in the center. Again, I’m not picky. It had a great crust and paired excellent with the cab we brought. Highly recommend BYOB. $20 corking fee but our bottle would have cost hundreds had we bought it there. We also got 2 sides. We wanted the potatoes au gratin but they were 86’d so we went loaded mash & carrots. Loaded mash were insanely good. Carrots not so much. We chose to skip dessert and hit the bar for a digestif. Bar was cool. Nice crowd and good vibes. Overall, it was exactly what I’d expect for a new steak joint that’s settling in. It has the potential to be a 5 star restaurant. I would encourage the front of the house to refine that first impression. Definitely not a $250 experience.
