It took us 49 minutes to receive our soups and salads, and they arrived cold. We noticed that other servers were attentive to their tables, but ours seemed impossible to locate. We've dined here before and had a great experience, so this was unexpected. Perhaps our server was just having a bad day, but it did dampen our enjoyment a bit.

However, my wife was a bit disappointed with her filet Wellington; it was too salty, and the puff pastry was burnt. On the bright side, the service was excellent!

I do not come back or recommend this restaurant because of bad service and quality of eating. we have been looking forward to a good meal and that has not happened.

We thought the food was of high quality but clearly not worth the price charged for salad and steaks. Bread offered with dinner was low image rolls only. read more We thought the food was of high quality but clearly not worth the price charged for salad and steaks.
