We were not the only people waiting for two hours for our takeout. So the frustration was shared amongst a bunch of us as we compared our order times. Then we saw that some people either got a free dessert or had their entire meal comp.
By the time we got our food it was 8pm and our meal was not comp. We got two slices of dessert. We wondered if it was because our meal was $100 and they didn't want to lose any more money. My gripe with the desserts is that I'm on a keto diet and can't eat it.
We drove home to find the steaks were over cooked, dried and not seasoned. We ended up tossing those.
On past occasions when we sat in to dine, we experienced poor customer service by some of the waitresses and their attitudes were as if they could care less if we ever came back or not.
The food is mediocre to begin with. NOT WORTH THE WAIT!
