Only reason this place gets 2 stars is because of the professionalism of the manager... but go ahead and avoid this place at all costs
Let's start with food. The pork belly app was mediocre at best. The wedge salad was descent but the portion size is less than half of what you would receive anywhere else. Whipped potatoes were the best thing we tried. Salmon entree was edible, maybe 6.5/10.
The steak is where everything broke bad.
Ordered a 14 oz strip, price tag 80$. Prime beef but not dry aged. Berns has a dry aged 16 oz strip for 75$, not to mention it comes with salad and French onion soup. So if you do the math the 80$ steak, 15$ salad and 15$ soup brings you up to 110$ for a meal comparable to what you would get at Bern's for 75$, not to mention it would be way better.
I ordered the steak medium rare, it came out blue rare, cold in the middle. I sent it back and they bring out the same steak cut in half that was just charred for a couple minutes on the grill, with the steak being closer to rare.
The waiter gave me a condescending speech about how strips should be cooked less than ribeyes. First of all, I don't want any lessons about how to order a steak and second of all, for 80$ they better cook me a new steak and bring it out at proper temperature.
Service 1/10
Waiter was horrible and had bad attitude. This is not Outback this is supposed to be the best steakhouse in St Pete. I would expect the waiter to be more professional and show some basic understanding of hospitality.
In the end of the meal when the waiter came back to ask if we were done and how everything was we explained that the steak was disappointing, he immediately gets rude and says he's going to get the manager! Bad move lol.
Manager came out and said all the right things, offered us free deserts and took the steak off the bill.
All in all I would not recommend, cheaper chain steakhouses cook a better steak.
