Surely these relics have to go away soon. Welcome to the 80's ladies and gentlemen! Valet parking out front, walked in to a red carpeted heavy on the wood interior of an 80's steakhouse. Sigh. I didn't notice the 50+ sign outside but the clientele in there certainly weren't of the younger generation. Anyway, with an open mind, I sat down with our group of 11 and placed my drink order based on the poor yet predictable beer selection listed on the drink menu.
The food menu is old fashioned, predictable and tired, but sure, lets give it a go.
Most of our table started with a Caesar Salad with their "Traditional Dressing". I sampled it, was not bad, but I was more fascinated with the Garlic Cheese toast that we got with it, that was magnificent.
The rest of us that didn't have Caesar Salad chose a garden salad with their homemade thousand island dressing. The salad that arrived was a very cold watery mess, it tasted like it had been sitting on a plate pre-portioned in the fridge for half the day. Dressing was ok, but it wasn't good enough to make me want to finish the watery salad.
We also ordered some some French Onion Soup, yawn, most at our table didn't finish it.
I ordered a steak that came out cooked way above the medium rare I requested, I addressed my concern with the wait staff but still said I would eat it so our group could still eat together. For my sides I had an option of "A complimentary order of cheese & garlic toast and are accompanied by a twice-baked stuffed potato unless otherwise specified. Other choices include a baked potato, French fries, rice pilaf, tomato & cucumbers or cottage cheese." Cottage Cheese? Really? How much was this steak and side? Lol. Tomatoes and cucumbers? Lol. Right.
I chose the Pilaf, which I was assuming would be like normal pilaf, cooked in stock with veggies and flavorful. Nope. Boiled white rice, a couple frozen peas and carrots chucked in as an afterthought. Didn't finish it.
The good: They park your car, the garlic cheese bread.
The bad: Outdated, old fashioned, not creative, expensive, can't compete with the food offerings other places in town are offering for cheaper and in a less ridiculous setting, beer list, attention to detail with food.
