Drinks: Sangria - Not very good. Not alot of fruit juice and the red wine used overpowered any other tastes. Strawberry Margarita - Tasted alright but for a blended drink it was closer to "On the rocks" minus the ice. Appetizers: Chips and Salsa - Ice Cold "Pace style" salsa with cold stale chips. Not worth the money. Caesar Salad - Romaine hearts, tomatoes, croutons, and Caesar dressing. Very good. Calamari - deep fried calamari rings w/ cocktail and tartar sauce. Good. Proscuitto covered Asparagus - Ice cold with the "ham" looking very old. Awful. Main Course: Filet Mignon - the filet came with garlic mash potatoes, asparagus spears, with this buttery sauce. Good. New York Steak - the steak comes with garlic mash potatoes, asparagus spears, with a port-portabello demi glace. Very good. Service: It took 15 minutes to get drinks. She was at the bar the whole time talking to the bartender and others. The neglect of us was almost unbearable due to the fact that we asked for extra forks and didnt get them for about 15 minutes. The meals did not come out for a long time (almost 45 mins with the restaurant being a "ghost town"). She added 18% gratuity automatically on our check!!! On the menu it indicates that parties of 6 or more would incur that fee not a party of 3!!!! Conclusion: I do not recommend this place. You will spend more money than the meal and service is worth.
Pros: good caesar salad, new york steak
Cons: everything else
