    We had six adults in our group and we were seated in a booth so we were crowded! The server seemed to be in a hurry and because of that I got pizza dumped in my lap. Some of the sauce splattered onto my new sweater. My husband also got lightly splattered too. The manager did come over to apologize and offered dry cleaning my sweater. He did not give us a discount on our meal.

    Really enjoyed this place (first time there). Everything was very good. We had the Angus Cowboy Ribeye which was very good but had a large chunk of fat falling up much of the steak. The manager responded very well and comped the steak which we didn't ask for. I would highly recommend this place despite that one issue.

    We were a group of three. We all ordered filet, mashed potatoes, asparagus, and bread pudding. One person got roasted potatoes instead of mashed, two people got broccoli instead of asparagus. I ordered medium rare filet and got medium. It was an important dinner so none of us complained. This was a kitchen error, not a waitress error.
