   As always, the meal itself was wonderful and a good value. And, as always, the restaurant was bustling and busy. (Not a bad thing!) ONLy concesstion was that it is very hard to hear in there, but not a lot can be done about that. Our fave local place!

   Prim rib was perfect. Our Irish lass was an excellent server.

   Overall, food and setting was pretty nice. Everything came out extremely quick but it also leads me to wonder if things are pre made and just sit under a heating lamp. The jalapeño cornbread’s flavor was great but pretty dry. The white meat on the rotisserie chicken was extremely dry, sadly even with the sauce. We did love the French dip sandwich, Mac and cheese, and pizza! Service was oddly not great. They were well staffed and two people had been checking in on our table but both not great at attending to our needs. We felt a bit rushed as they kept asking us if we need boxes (even as the other just asked). They never brought kid specific items we asked for. It was our toddler’s birthday and the choice was between chocolate and vanilla ice cream. They brought out the wrong flavor even asking what she wanted. We also brought our own individual slices of cake. They first told us it was $2pp for cake cutting fee although there was no cutting service needed. They ended up charging $3pp and even charged my 4 month old infant. Because they never brought out the plastic cup for my toddler, she accidentally dropped the glass cup and no one ever came by to help us. We picked everything up but wished they came with a broom to make sure there weren’t any shards left over. Just oddly inattentive for how many people they had walking around. They were quick to get us boxes and the bill though.

   We’ve been here before to both locations but the last time we went it was the most terrible service we’ve gotten, the waiter was watching the oscars the whole time and the runners were slamming chairs and closing while we were there really loudly. The food is always amazing hopefully I get a better waiter next time.

   Brilliant menu, especially the special menu for Valentine's Day and the weekend. Service was spectacular, and everything we ordered was delicious. Highly recommend the Moroccan carrots!

   We had the special Valentine special meal and it was very good. A lot of food, more than enough for 2, all was prepared well.
