I will start by saying, we went during the soft opening. Needs a lot of work. Not understanding the great reviews here. Wife and I came for a date night. We liked coming here previously (Avensole), and food was good. Ambiance and staff were nice. That is where the 1 star comes in. My wife and I enjoy saving up for a nice, quality meal and are willing to spend the money, especially on steak. For a place that is supposedly a Chop House... Man do they have a lot of work to do.
Drinks were fine, nothing to complain about, though not once did I get a refill. As far as "chop house" quality... not even close. Wife got chicken parm... it had a fat, fleshy piece that did not cook well... why was this not cut off? And the pasta was precut for a 6 year old. Mac N Cheese looked so good... unfortunately thats as far as it went. It was extremely bland. Wife described it as noodles and milk. They might as well have added Velveeta for flavor. I ordered the New York (medium rare. This was really where it fell short. It was obvious the meat was far from quality and had a large fatty piece opposite to the bone that I had to cut around. I understand steak will have fat, but I have never seen a New York this bad... not even at the grocery store. Next, the way it was cooked. Again I say, Chop house? It was ordered Medium Rare... Served Blue borderline rare and lacked flavor. I am not one to send food back and by the time I realized how undercooked this was, I had completely cut meat off the bone and around the fatty part. I even sent photos to multiple people who love a good steak... all agreed that it was far from cooked correctly.
As far as service, Server was nice, but over all, the entire staff was lost and didn't know their table numbers, brought wrong food and drinks to our table 3 times, and we never got drink refills or even offered.
Personally, If I want steak, a good chop house, I would not return. What we paid did not equivalate to the steep price paid.
