    For the last years Bully’s Prime Rib has been lowering its quality and flavor! It seems that they cut the prime rib and then they grill it, and this turns the prime rib on a dry piece of meat!

    Always consistent in food and drinks. Best choices on the menu. We have been coming for 47 years. It’s even better since we downsized to Civita area.

    Overall it was good. Service was perfect. I think the chef might have spilled oregano in the French onion soup. It's usually one of our favorites but tonight it was definitely off. Not every meal is perfect. We'll be back soon.
