Been going for years. Won’t be back for awhile. Vodka tonic was all tonic. Had to order a shot of vodka. Filet used to be so good. Arrived was supposed to be medium. The last two visits it was rare. Also, both times received the end cut. Very hard to cut. Sent back. Waited another 20 minutes. This time came back medium well. So dry, hardly ate. My friend ordered the Octopus. She always orders. This time and one other, over cooked. She didnt want to wait, so just ate what she could. Owner compensated some of the bill. Still over 70$ pp. As per usual these days, I had a drink and chips. 🙁
