While this place did serve a very nice filet, just about everything else we experienced was less than satisfactory. The pork chop was dry, the salads were just bagged iceberg lettuce with a couple of pieces of tomato, the cocktail was watered down... Service was indifferent and the decor was very dated and generally grungy--old, filthy carpeting; ancient, rusty furniture; comically cliché decorations. I think this place has a local reputation and the regulars don't even see how bad a place it really is anymore.
