"We were a table of 4. The Restaurant had 4-5 tables occupied with only 1 waiter, so service was slow and timing was horrible. We were sitting a good 15 minutes before we even ordered a drink. Ordered dirty martini with blue cheese olives and the bar tender had to come and tell us they were out of blue cheese and delivery comes Friday… it was Wednesday night. Questionable. Appetizers were ok except the tuna tartare smelled and tasted fishy and very bland. Our drinks were done and we were looking to order a bottle of wine before our meal came but the waiter did not notice nor ask if we needed more drinks but then our meal came out. So now we have our meal on the table, no wine list and to top it off the meals were not very hot. I had ordered a medium rare 22oz ribeye and the steak was cooked to medium well, which is extremely disappointing, even after cutting into the middle it . I have never sent a steak back but this was so pourly cooked that I couldn’t eat it. They cooked a new steak, which took at least 25 minutes or more, so all sides where cold and the rest of my table finished eating. The new steak was substantially smaller and of zero flavor. I have never had a steak from a restaurant that tasted so pour. Extremely disappointed for a $65 steak. My wife’s fillet was also over cooked but not to the extent that it needed to be sent back and even in the skillet seared with salt and pepper it was no flavor either. Another dish that was disappointing was the short rib, of which our friend couldn’t even eat half of it because it was a large piece of muscle and or fat and the lobster that came with it was actually pathetic as it looked like a small cocktail shrimp. Overall, for a table of 4 that where looking to have a good meal and good drinks and willing to spend for it, left extremely disappointed. considering the cost of the meal at about $300 per couple, the food was terrible and the service mirrored that. I would never go back."
