    We’ve dined here many times over the years but found this last experience to be lacking. We may try again but will most likely choose not to.

    Took a very long time for the server to provide water and take our drink order even though it was a slow night. Both drink glasses were sticky on the outside suggesting they weren’t clean. Manager was at the adjacent table talking with the busser about his work schedule and other business. Steak was okay but not as good as Texas Roadhouse and halibut was overcooked and dry.

    Drinks and appetizers were fast and appropriately timed. Unfortunately the steak came out wrong twice. Kinda ruined it, wife had to sit there and eat while I was still waiting. Was taken off the bill, but doesn’t make up for it.
