    Ordered a 10oz steak med rare, came out looking rare. Steak had so much gristle in it that it was unedible. My wife's ribs that she ordered were really dry and was hard to eat. Our server was nice on the other hand. For the price point of this restaurant I was expecting better quality and service.

    The power bowl and fish and chips were very good. The champagne with strawberries was a nice drink addition for Valentine’s Day. Recommending the turtle pue and Skor brownies

    We went for our anniversary celebration and ordered fettuccine Alfredo pasta and blackened chicken dinner plate. Both dishes tasted bland, no salt, food was served cold, the pasta was so chewy, the portion size was very small. We only liked the garlic shrimps in our starters which was cooked in butter however the quantity was again very less. The server wasn’t smiling and not welcoming, after we sat for some drinks and starters, she was in a rush to get the main course order even though the kitchen was not closing. I would not visit them again.

    Parking is always and issue at this location and this time was no different. Our server was great. Only issue I had with service is that the host after asking us if we had any children with us (we didn’t) then proceeded to seat the 4 of us at a booth right beside a large party with multiple young children who had items blocking our entry into the booth that we had to then step over. They must have noticed the look on my face and then offered a different booth on the other side of the aisle. I then noticed when I went to the bathroom that there were tons of open booths near the back of the restaurant.
