"Racist and discriminatory behavior by owner...My family went here recently for my father 's birthday. My mom called twice a few days prior trying to make a reservation for 20 people and asked if she could bring a cake. Both times the receptionist (who is family with the owner) said they don 't take reservations but could do a walk in and she could bring a cake. (Already poor restaurant management experience bc who in their right mind says a 20 top walk in is ok lol) anyway...on the day of my mom called 15 minutes before my family was set to arrive just to confirm for a third time that they were good to walk in as a 20 top and was transferred to the owner who said ABSOLUTELY NOT and that they better not come by the restaurant. Frantically my mom and family tried to figure out where to go for my dad 's birthday with 20 people waiting to figure out the new plan. After calling multiple restaurants who said they couldn 't take a large group last minute (obviously), they decided to try to go to this restaurant and just get multiple smaller tables at varying times in an effort to help out and not inundate the waitstaff and kitchen at the same time. Upon arrival the owner yelled at my mom and told her again ABSOLUTELY NOT and that he told her to stay away. He then said that it was impossible the receptionist during the week told her it was ok to walk in as a 20 top bc it is his family (lol). He then said in front of my entire family and in the most rude and degrading tone possible: IT IS BECAUSE OF YOUR ACCENT THEY DON 'T UNDERSTAND YOU. My mom is Brasilian and has lived in the US for 30 years and has nearly perfected her English during that time...she was embarrassed and felt incredibly disrespected by this little man. You would think after the restaurant having struggled through the pandemic there would be some sense of humility. But alas- true colors always shine through. Long story short: discriminatory, racist, rude, and overall poor restaurant management by the owner From one Italian (me) to another (this restaurant 's owner): VAFFANCULO"

"2020 really did a number on this place and I feel like it’s best years are behind. I used to adore the salmon fillet and hold it up with the very best that you can find in the valley. I got to give props to the management staff for making good when something goes wrong for the customer. They will make all sorts of allotments. The problem is I don’t think the entrées and the presentation match the level that the restaurant is aspiring to. A few times I had the bread and it was a little bit tough whereas many years ago it used to be very nicely done where it’s hard but not too much. Lately it’s been overdone and dry and not worth it. Skip the bread. I had the prime rib and that was decent well done but so much of the cut is from the fat that you lose about 2 or 3 ounces. It’s unconscionable though that the salad they sent me home with was put into a cardboard box which could leak through. I thought maybe they put some aluminum foil down in the box to keep the salad isolated but the regard for salads at this place has definitely fallen off from when I would go for lunch entrées with salad regularly to hoping you don’t get poisoning from it. Their sirloin is excellent though but doesn’t do anything that really justifies the surcharge of the location. I know recent times have hit the restaurant industry tough but the changes to the dining hall which make it feel less comfortable, the fact that there was no courtesy Wi-Fi for people waiting, and a lot of the disregard for the food despite the high asking price makes it clear that this is not a location to go regularly unless you have a really good discount on hand. With the sorry state of steakhouses in the Antelope Valley, it’s unfortunate that this location is slipping in their regard for presentation. They still know how to do steaks but everything else is slipping. I used to go here a lot more often and unfortunately my previous visit will likely be my last."
