"Seemed like a nice place. The servers were nice and the management were nice. The steaks were cooked perfect. The lobsters were overcooked. The flavor was there, but tasted like rubber. Very hard to chew and harder to cut than my steak. I declined having it remade. They offered to take it off of the bill. Still overcharged. 3 people, appetizer calamari $12, one chicken something dinner, two meals of filet mignon and lobster, only listed on menu as market price (current mkt price $27lb for lobster and their menu stated 8oz filet mignon is $39 . Although a lobster tail is not a pound, I will still figure they charged us the full pound price. Drinks were two sodas and a glenlivet scotch (12 year was all they had and decided to get three pieces of cake to go.Bill was $287Yes I tipped over 20%Dont know what I was thinking.So it would end up being (rounding up to be fair ...$12 appetizer$66 meal one$66 meal two$25 meal three$?? Sodas (1 tea, 1 soda no price, their beers are between $4 and $7, so lets say $10? Each? So $20$?? One Scotch couldn't be more than $25Total= $214 that would mean each sliver of thawed out cake would have to be $24 and change each for $73! But no, their slices of cake are $6.95 so lets round it to $7That only gets us to $190...without drinks. So 2 sodas and a mid scotch is nearly $100?If so, that gets us to $287...but they were supposed to take off the lobsters (or even one as my daughter said she would eat hers even tough and gummy . And mkt price is by the pound so if they charged a full pound, it should still have only been $260...So if they took off even one lobster, that means they charged about $125 for the scotch, the tea, and the soda.Skipping all of that, the atmosphere: They unfortunately sat us within 6 ft of the DJ for the night and we could not hear half of our conversation over his loud music and his off key singing when he sang. Even when I went to the bathroom, it still boomed across like a jukebox at a dive bar. The looks of the place reminds one of a dive bar on one ide too. The side they sat us on reminded me of a respectable looking steakhouse from the 80's. So I figure it had established itself.So to sum up:Pros:Nice atmosphere if you want a loud dive bar (or seated far away on the other side Steak cooked perfectly!Staff very friendly, even when rushed. Manager very nice and apologetic for the error (and it does happen, maybe it was a one off mistake Cons:Like I said, I can understand the overcooked lobster mistake and they did offer to make me another or taie it off of my bill, so they were willing to work to make me happy, so I am not counting that against them.The atmosphere could be better, but again, left me give them the benefit of being a dive bar on one side and a reataraunt on the other. So one a drinking weekend, maybe not the best choice for a quiet fine dining experience. Blame that on me for not knowing.Of course they could have set the DJ away from the door to the fine dining room so he could blast the drinkers and not the diners.All of everything so far could be excused by events/ bad timing/ one off mistake/ poor spatial awareness.But the reason I will not be going back (sadly because amazing filet mignon! is their inexplicable mystery charges that do not add up.So if you do go, pick a quiet night with no DJ, dont order seafood, and WATCH YOUR BILL!"

"My review: Don 't waste your time or money. Took an hour and half for frozen chicken strips, a pizza and a hamburger. He told me when I asked for my bill that it 's faster to order pizza cause everything else has to be made individually. ??? Uh ya, its a MENU ??? If u just want to serve pizza, then don 't out anything else on the menu.My daughter 's review: Maybe it was an entirely off night that we had come in to order our food. We seated ourselves. However, I have never once left a review, but after experience my family and I encountered dining at this establishment I felt the need to leave one. It was by far the worst service I have ever literally endured. There were only a few others there. From whom I could tell were close relatives as they occasionally got up from their bar stool to go behind the bar and help themselves to their next drink. Our server was polite, but was not very helpful in terms of actually serving us. There was a lot of guidance needed on our part in order for us to not only order, but to actually receive our food, and repeatedly ask for more to drink. Randy was an exceptional business owner. All sarcasm aside. We found him extremely rude and impersonable. While ordering with the waitress he told us we should order pizza. Even though only one of us planned to order that item. Later on I overheard him telling another group of people that he can make pizzas faster than he can send out a burger. So, we should order pizza essentially because it is easier for him. I would suggest omitting food from a menu if one is simply too lazy to cook it. Upon adding up our bill stated the same thing to the individual paying that 'because we ordered separate items (all food was on the same bill) that it has to be made and added up individually and will take him longer '. Further inconveniencing him. In addition, our food took over 30 mins to be incorrectly delivered to us. We never took our leftovers because we could not stand another minute of the inside especially with the amount of smoke burning our eyes from the kitchen. Im sure he will be happy to hear that none of us will EVER step food in his establishment again."
