    My friend and I met there tonight to try their Thursday prime rib special for $24. I hadn't had prime rib in a while so I was really looking forward to it. A complimentary salad comes with it if there are two people dining. The salad was ok, it was large, mostly lettuce but had delicious mozzarella cheese chunks on top. We both ordered the prime rib medium rare. The presentation was good, but the mashed potatoes and the prime rib were cold. The green beans were delicious and cooked perfectly. The servers were gathered around the hostess station, while our food got cold in the kitchen. I had to walk to the hostess station to tell our server that the food was cold. They brought us new plates and I knew immediately that they had heated the food in the microwave. The au jus was steaming hot and the potatoes and meat were barely warm. The prime rib was so tough I couldn't cut it. We were so disappointed because we had looked forward to having a really nice meal to celebrate the holidays. How can a restaurant not know how to serve the food hot without microwaving it? The server actually said "how else can you heat food besides the microwave?" !!!! I sent the tough meat back and ordered a hamburger which took a crazy amount of time to get. My friend was done eating by the time I got it. It was a very frustrating experience, not what we had hoped for. The food could have been served hot if all of the servers weren't hanging around the hostess station.
