First off, the service was very spotty, with multiple people servicing our table, but no apparent communication. I ordered the ribeye medium-rare. What I got looked more like a flattened strip, a disappointing half-inch thick, and cooked just above medium. No marbling, and tougher than shoe leather. The chimichurri or whatever they put on there wasn't bad. The asparagus was undercooked and cold. My special ladyfriend had the sliders, which were undercooked, yet extremely dry and brittle. They came out 10 minutes after my entree. At the end of our meal, as we asked for the check, they delivered the rolls to our table. We just shook our heads. Very mediocre.
