   I found the food starting with appetizers and main course very salty. The stuff were friendly but they looked bored and not to attentive.

   Great first time experience and will be back. Steak was cooked perfectly. Sides were on par. Apps were very good. I think this will become a new favourite for me and my family. By guests also had a great experience.

   We had come for a date night. The ambiance was beautiful, with gorgeous, ornate fixtures, a grand staircase and set the tone for what should have been a great steak night. It was the opposite of that. It started when the server came to ask about our drinks. I said I'm a recovered alcoholic, so no thanks to the wine list. At that, we were offered tap water or bottled sparking water, and nothing else. Next came the ordering. I have a severe dairy allergy, but carry medicine in case and am vocal about it. I ordered the prime rib and when told of the sides, Yorkshire pudding and pierogies, asked if I could substitute for French fries (an item on the menu). The server said he'd ask, but the chef doesn't like to change the how the plate looked. I asked if I could just have the fries, and I'd happily pay for them. The server said he'd ask and see. He came back to say the chef didn't want to honour the request and would add more broccolini on the side. I wanted to leave but my wife and I were hungry, so we stayed. The food arrived, and as told, there was a lot of broccolini on the plate as well as a lot of fat on the prime rib. Every time we go for steak I get prime rib. It was the fattiest I have ever had. Part way through a different server asked how we were enjoying the food. We politely asked to speak with the manager. The server asked what was wrong and we explained that due to the dairy allergy, the option provided was not satisfactory. The server left saying he'd ask the manager to come to the table. After some minutes the manager came. She blamed the server for his miscommunication as to the side of fries not being orderable. That wasn't the case but she was protective of the chef. She explained the chef didn't like changing things and offered to buy us dessert. I said no due to the dairy allergy. She offered berries...no thanks, I had enough broccolini. She expressed her apologies and left. It was such a sad experience we won't be back ever.

    We went to David Duncan House to celebrate my girlfriends birthday because we heard it was an excellent steak house.. We both ordered the ribeye because this is always are go to steak when we are treating ourselves to a night out from the kids. all I can tell you is that it was terrible, very chewy and rubbery and we couldn't even finish it. .. So disappointed for a $68 steak.
