    We’ve visited this restaurant many times over the years and we were very disappointed in the experience now vs prior visits. The prime rib was cold and when we mentioned it, it was obviously tossed in a microwave or something as the meat was just a little warmer and the outside was grey, but the plates were still cold.

    We appreciated the staff’s attentive service. That was the best part of the experience. The quality of the food was sub par. My prime rib came out cold, not even warm. I requested the server to reheat the food which he did. For the price we paid - we were a large group- the food was a big disappointment.

    Staff wasn't very friendly at welcoming. Waiter was pretty good but could of been more attentive. For the price it definitely wasn't a good experience. Very nice atmosphere if staff had of been more friendly.
