We came back because our first 2 visits were great. Excellent food and great service. Tonight was not so good. Waited an hour for our food. Only one other table in the dining area which was done eating. Food arrived and was cold and nacho chips were way over done. Fish was not as requested. Not sure what happened but when we complained they gave us our drinks at no charge.

The cocktail sauce wasn't to my taste, but it was still decent. Unfortunately, there was no calamari on the menu. I ordered the king cut prime rib medium rare, but it was cut unevenly, resulting in one side being well done and the other side raw. I also ordered sweet potato fries, but I ended up with a baked potato instead. After waiting 45 minutes for our meals, I decided to send mine back and only ate the fries when they finally arrived. My wife ordered crab legs, which were just okay. We arrived at 5:30 and left at 7:15, and there was only one other table of four in the dining area during our visit. We were excited to try a new restaurant and loved the menu options, but we were ultimately very disappointed with the execution. We had no issues with the pricing, as it seemed reasonable for our choices.

We had Brianne for our waitress and she's a gem. She was a very good waitress! I had the prime rib and the spinach dip and homemade chips for dipping in the dip that was also delicious! I forgot to take pictures this time unfortunately next time around I will!
