    A review of this place: Horribly overpriced!  — 2 years ago

    Not worth it!

    It was apparent upon entering that this restaurant was short staffed. I’m okay with that, we were willing to be patient. The staff they DID have however were totally CLUELESS.

    The host was a total space cadet and took our order and didn’t know what the heck they were doing. The “pepper steak” soup was really stuffed green pepper and wasn’t even very hot. I ordered an alcoholic ice cream drink, “Daisy’s Downfall”, which was the only highlight to the evening (especially when the bartender walked over and said he still had some of it in his blender and topped my drink off with a free refill).

    They brought some bread out to us for our soup but it was a big loaf and wasn’t even cut. We had to rip it apart with our hands. They finally cleared that away and made room for our appetizer, tomato cheese bread. They didn’t bring us appetizer plates so we just had to eat over the paper on the table.

    Adam ordered $19 lake perch and I ordered a $19 16oz NY strip steak. I made the mistake of ordering it medium well. They bring it out and they had freaking FILLETED my steak! They cut it in half and charred the hell out of the steak!! It wasn’t even cut in HALF—they had like a 1/2 inch on the bottom and a 1/4 inch on the top. It was horrible and it was DRY AS HELL. Adam’s plate of fries and lake perch was TINY and for $19 it was a total ripoff! I could get a plate of lake perch like that at a VFW or something for $7!

    It was also weird because they brought out his tartar sauce and his ketchup in 2oz plastic cups. What we thought was a “nicer” restaurant was totally stupid. A girl who I guess was our waitress asked how things were. I told her my steak was DRY and she said “I’m sorry!!” That’s all she said. A few minutes later she offered to bring me som au jus. WTF? It was inedible. The service was so horrendous we just paid the bill and got the hell out of there.

    We had initially wanted to go with a pizza and I kind of wish we had, only I doubt that would have been much better. A large deep dish was $28!!

    AVOID! AVOID!
