Let me start by saying I have been here before and it just isn't my thing, but I was gifted a gift card so I thought I would try again.
I'm not entirely sure why I don't like this place, because I love a good steak and the steak was pretty good. We went on a Tuesday around 4:30. We went early so there wouldn't be big crowds and it should be easy to get a table on a Tuesday afternoon. Wrong. Apparently everyone else had the same idea because the place was packed and we had to wait for a table ( they don't take reservations). We only waited about ten minutes, so it wasn't too bad, then we were led around a maze of tables and shown to our seats. The seats were a step up, which I thought was weird and a little dangerous as people don't really think to step down when they are leaving a booth. People and tables were packed in like cattle, so it was a little uncomfortable. They bring you a basket of bread when you sit down, which was pretty good, but a little sweet. I can't remember if there was a tv anywhere because there were so many advertisements hanging from the ceiling, the light fixtures and everywhere else they could find to stash them. The table was small and there was a lot of stuff on it so it was hard to find room for the food. My partner and I each had a salad as one of our sides and that came out first. It was fine. Just a side salad, exactly what you would expect. Later our steaks came out. They were good. My partner's was rare which is what he wanted, I also ordered rare but mine was more medium than rare. Fine, whatever.
Lighting was fine, ambiance was a little loud and chaotic. Service was fine. You pay at a little machine at your table.
Overall, a fine experience, just not great. I know my in-laws love the place, but I don't know why. No photos because I was uncomfortable.
