Priced just below a high end steakhouse like Morton?s or Gibson?s, the food experience was almost comparable yet the waitstaff has a LONG way to go to complete the experience. Our server, when notmissing in action, was generally forgetful and inattentive. Dirty plates and empty drink ware stacked up on the table, disheswere delivered without the appropriate utensils, bread came an hour in just before our entrees, and we had to chase down ourserver after dessert to get the check (roughly 30 minutes from meal conclusion to finally getting the check?and without a thankyou). Did I mention I had to take my drink to the bar to get it garnished, as ordered? We tipped 20% anyway, if only not topenalize the other restaurant employees. Restaurant gets an 8.5 for food quality and presentation, and a 3 for service.

Personally more excited to enjoy a stunning non-alcoholic Stella Artois. Great food and friendly service on a busy Saturday night. Quality!

Salty, fishy, bread crumbs. Yuk. We both ordered steak and they were both good: rib eye and filet mignon. Our bill was less than $200. But. Our favorite is still St. Charles Place.

They had open 4 top tables in the front, but the TWO hostesses refused to seat us there, even though we had reservation, saying they saved those 4 tops for larger parties (we had 2), so they seated us atanother 4 top in the noisy back. The tables up front remained empty all evening (our reservation was pretty late In evening). Had Filet Oscar, and it was overcooked, dry, no seasoning, and not worth $50. I would go to Morton’s or Wildfire for a betterfilet. The bacon wrapped dates were excellent. My date had the prime rib, and said it was great. Not crazy about the winelist. Atmosphere is legacy steak house, dark and a bit dated. They had a specialty Old Fashion and Whiskey Acres rye option,so nice drink option there. It’s expensive, steak house prices. And yes, you do not even get bread with meal, which ispretty standard at steak houses, but I am fine with that.
