Hands down, the BEST steakhouse ever! We were on vacation in the area and steak was on our minds. The hotel had given us a list of area restaurants and the name stuck out. I looked at the online menu and saw steak, so it was a go. Everyone else wants their steak raw, pink, just barely dead while I want mine dead, deader than dead, just shy of cremated. My steak was excellent! Cooked completely through and yet still tender and moist. Steak sauce could only ruin this delicious meat. The service was amazing considering there was only one server waiting on 3-4 tables at once. Definitely want to go back again!

We went to this restaurant and it was a complete disaster! I will never go here again, and would never recommend it to anyone.
First, I don't understand why I made a 7pm reservation because they didn't seat me until after 8 o'clock. So the first hour paid to a babysitter was wasted. The bartender was mean to people because she was too busy. The reason she was busy is because there were about 50 people who had also made reservations that were stuck in the bar waiting for thier table. And the host was a completely insensitive jag. Our waitress apologized, but as the night grew later we saw her get more and more frustrated, and everybody's meals were taking longer to come out of the kitchen. I noticed that everybody who was served at tables nearby me got their steaks on the rare side - bloody rare, as the chef must have been trying to get food out as quickly as possible. But it didn't make sense to send the food back because who knows how long it would take to get it back.
Now to the food. My steak was surrounded by a sauce that only a 3-year-old child would be proud of. It was very watery, and tasted like a 2 boullion cubes in a glass of water. The steak was alright, but didn't have much flavor. The bread we got was good, though. We decided not to stay for dessert.
And here's what really toped it off for my wife. She went into the bathroom, and both stalls had bowls of poop and toilet paper. Really fancy restaurant. And by the way, we looked for the manager on the way out, but he was no where to be found.
If you have to go to this restaurant, have a snack before you go, make sure you don't need to go to the bathroom, and don't plan on having a nice dinner. Pick up a pizza or some chinese instead.
