I sincerely thought twice about saying anything, but I don't want any steak lovers to walk into this establishment without knowing to be slightly wary.
We've been here numerous times over the years. The quality has always been outstanding, the ambience is nice and laid back, and the service is good depending on who takes care of you.
We like that we can come in without dressing up and get a great quality steak. We were all craving a little red meat last night, so here we are!
We only got one appetizer before digging into the meat. It was the octopus, which we've gotten numerous times. This is the first time that it has been tough to get through and it still had the gelatinous skin attached, which was ick, to say the least. We normally demolish it, but left half of it. I enjoyed the olives on the plate more than the octopus.
The steaks arrived about 5 minutes after the app. We got 2 prime filets and the Wagyu steak, some good ol fashioned potatoes and some asparagus. The sides were enjoyable enough, my and my husband's steaks looked good upon first review, but my son's filet was massive and looked more like a sirloin than filet. As an 11 year old, he liked it, but I know it wasn't what we ordered. I truly wish I had taken a pic of it.
My husband's steak wound up having an incredible amount of sinew and chunks of fat in his Wagyu, which is not indicative of that meat.
My filet tasted ok, but was overdone on the salt and butter. I could take it or leave it.
I say this because I usually "yummm and mmmm" at every bite, as well as does my family. We appreciate good steak and trust the establishment to take care of us properly. It really feels like we were given subpar product because they didn't think we'd know any better.
This is the first time I feel like corners were being cut, and I just can't shake it. My husband never complains, and he couldn't hide his disdain when asked how the meal was 20 minutes later. The manager did not make contact with us, just threw us a discount and some $10 cards, and left it to the server to deal with the issue. For the quality of the food that's being touted here, a manager should be doing a quick table touch to see the product and frankly, find out if we're full of it or have a legit complaint.
Like I said, this just didn't sit right with me (obviously, look at this freaking rant I'm going on), so buyer beware is all I'm saying.
