    We got to the restaurant 10 min ahead. We waited 15i min to be seated. The hostess just forgot about us. When we were finally seated it took 20 min to the waiter to acknowledge we were there. He made an excuse but it was totally unacceptable to me. The restaurant was not really crowded and people that was seated after us got their food and drinks before us. Terrible experience

    For the last years Bully’s Prime Rib has been lowering its quality and flavor! It seems that they cut the prime rib and then they grill it, and this turns the prime rib on a dry piece of meat!
