AVOID THE STEAKS AT ALL COST. I waited until I came here two times for this review. And my experience wasn't any different the second time. I'll start with positives. The staff was very professional, friendly, and fast. We had a reservation so they already had waters and menus on the table, a nice touch. Our dirty plates were taken away quickly and our drinks were always topped off. Our waiter was very respectful and got our customized orders correct. The atmosphere was nice and welcoming. And now, all the cons come from the food. Every food item here just feels... Fake and Cheap. And the prices are much higher than your average restaurant, so I'd expect quality ingredients and dishes. The French onion soup was decent, but the cheese was way too gloopy and kept sticking to the spoon. The cheese should have a golden brown bubbly texture. Also the broth was way too sweet, it might be the wine they use? I needed heavy amounts of pepper to counter that sweetness. And for the entree.. First time I was here I got the filet mignon. It was suspiciously perfectly round, and something was just off about the texture. It felt like a vegetarian version of steak, the chew was just weird and the salt levels were non existant. I eat so much steak and I've never eaten steak with that fake texture anywhere else. The menu says the grade of the steaks are "choice or higher". That does not pass the sniff test. That's like saying "prime or lower".. I would advertise which cuts of steak are which grade in order to justify the rediculous price points. $56 for my ribeye steak??? My ribeye tonight was cooked medium well (look at picture.. I ordered medium rare) and tasted so bland and dry, and was served lukewarm. They must have a unique cooking style, I'm thinking they sous vide the steak for way too long (wait until one is ordered) and then put some light grill marks on the steak. Or, they cook the steak, apply the light grill marks, and let it rest for way too long. There were ZERO juices that came out of the meat when I cut it. For merely $12 more I can get an AMAZING steak from Rare Society in mill creek. Also the mac and cheese tasted like pure chemicals. Fries were decent, but very dry. My wife got the salmon, which she said 'looked nice' and was actually edible, but the butter on it was weirdly flavored, the asparagus was the star of the dish, and the potatoes were very undercooked and had no seasoning at all. Come for the friendly service and the good drinks, maybe keep trying new appetizers until you find a good one. AVOID THE STEAKS AT ALL COST.
