I had a few chopped sweet potatoes under my steak and a dash green sauce (possibly chimichura.) and that was it. and when brot and pommes are separated, they know that a restaurant in the usa is on hard times. we have eaten on shallow shaft for at least 25 years. it is a shame to see this bright imitation of an estimated original.

We've been going to the Shallow Shaft regularly for several years. Most recently (2016), the food was quite good, though perhaps not as outstanding this visit as in previous years. We found our waiter to have an oddly off putting attitude, though as if we were imposing by asking for our order, etc. I assume that's just a one off experience; the other waitstaff seemed normal. We went with the wine selection recommended by our waiter, and I was quite pleased a mellow Italian Cabernet that really worked with the meal.
