    Went with high expectations, as I should with the price range of this place. Order the paper plane cocktail. The bartender swore he knew how to do, but it was served with one of the main ingredient missing. The server, who was nice. Served it with a sheepish look on his face like he was embarrassed. I sent it back with explicit instructions of what was missing and it came back OK. Appetizers were OK, the blue cheese chips were good for bar food, but disappointing for a higher place. The chips looked like Lays potato chips out of a bag, or an uncanny reproduction thereof, with blue cheese on top. Blue cheese was good though. The steak, which I ordered Pittsburgh style, seared on the outside, rare inside, was served thoroughly charred on one side, and lightly cooked on the other. I told the waiter and he talked to the kitchen. They simply said that’s how the grill cooks on high heat setting as if they had no control - a runaway grill! . Seems to be a high-end steakhouse should know how to use their equipment to properly cook a steak. No offer of apology or we will take it back and recook. With the bill of over $300 for two people that would have been my minimum expectation. I ate part of it anyway, but decided to take the rest of it home. On the way to my car, I ran into a homeless person who needed food, so I gave him my leftovers instead. He looked like he needed it. As I got to the car, though, I had some thoughts of what would he think when he opened it and found the charred remains of my dinner inside. This was actually a genuine thought I had, which, to me, had a little bit of irony, but given the bill should never happened. As much as I would like to recommend this place, I simply can’t. Not for any price. A steakhouse should know how to cook steak.
