   After moving our table 3 times we still had gnats flying around and landing in our food. We were unable to eat so the restaurant who saw the bugs apologized, paid for the meal and gave us a gift card. This was very unexpected for this restaurant which we have been to on numerous occasions

   This was our third visit to Connors and unfortunately it just did not meet our expectations. To start, they consider themselves a high end steakhouse and they do not make their whiskey sours with egg whites. I understand that lots of restaurants frown upon having raw eggs available for this classic drink, but you can use a container of liquid egg whites which would probably solve any health code concerns. I accidentally found a drink on their specials menu which was similar to a whiskey sour and had that instead. The waiter should have recommended it to me. Lobster bisque was lukewarm, but tasty. Wedge salad was excellent. At this point we started noticing fruit flies around the table, but kind of ignored them. Dinner was served and all agreed that the filets were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. My salmon was very good. It was at this point that we couldn't take a bite without a fly landing on our plate. It was not good. We mentioned to our server and he notified management. They were extremely apologetic and offered us a $25 gift card, but it really put an overall damper on a $295.00 meal. It's kind of like, hey sorry about the flies, but here is a gift card so you can come back and enjoy more flies! They should have adjusted the check.

   This was our first visit but not the last. The staff are awesome attentive but not intrusive. We gave lunch a try today and we were very pleased with the quality of the food. Large portions and fair priced entrees. The ambience is what I would refer to as a casual elegance. The restaurant was fairly busy but not overly loud which we appreciated. We will definitely be coming back!

    Prime rib piece served was visually unappealing and was mostly fat. Service was rather slow.
