  Terrible. Excuse my language but the 'head chef' Matt was a complete A-hole. I had a brief run in with him and he barley gave me the time of day. He was impolite, unprofessional, and just very distasteful. I was surprised that such a nice, well respected restaurant would hire such a terrible employee to play such an important role in the restaurant. I did get the chance to meet a young man named Justin and another man named Jeffrey, I believe. I believe they both worked in the kitchen. They were so sweet, made me feel very welcomed and seemed genuinely interested while making small talk. If it hadn't been for the two of them & their hard work I wouldn't have stayed to finish my meal. Justin and Jeffrey deserve a round of applause. I'm not the type of person to write bad reviews (I have worked in the food industry for years) but Matts attitude and general demeanor was extremely off putting and made the entire environment feel very hostile.

  I have eaten at many steakhouses (Peter Luger in NYC for ex.) and they are often rustic, wooden and always have great steak. The steak is usually $25 - $60. I decided to splurge and have one. Unfortunately it was burnt on the outside and lacked the flavor of a great piece of meat - I had the Filet Mignon. I had ordered a medium rare, which it was, but the burnt crust ruined it for me, It was not even at a (mediocre) Texas Roadhouse standard. The inside mushy, even though it normally would nto be even if cooked rare. The twice baked potatoes weren't that great either, dry and crusty - what about baked potatoes with the skin on or mashed potatoes with skin left in whipped with butter or wasabi or herbs? Their potatoes did nto taste fresh and were a bit dry. The teasted ok, but I could make better ones myself. The "famous" steak sauce that they make in house was ok, but not as good as A1 (but I prefer no sauce). The vegetables were steamed beans that were ok, but nothing to write home about (what about broccoli raab! or steamed broccoli with salt?). The wine was excellent, the service good, but waiter was somewhat robotic (we joked he might be an android). He lacked the charm you might expect. For desert we had cherries jubilee which was wonderful - he made it in front of us, fire blazing, a real event - yet he did not let the alcohol really burn off all the way leaving our heads spinning. To be honest, it was everything I expected from a steak house - yet - the steak was not all that great. Otherwise it was good.
