I ordered New York Strip, mid-well, it was cooked right, but it was so tuff, I didn't say anything because my anut was paying for the meal and this steak cost close to $40. So I just smiled and chewed alot. It came with fries and they were good. Our waiter got busy with another table, it was my mothers Birthday and we told them they bring out icecream with a candle which was very thoughtful and then we got the bill and it was changed $8.00 for it when we thought it was complementary. so ask before agreeing to a Celebration dessert. HA! I have eaten at a lot of nice places and I have never been changed for Birthday Ice cream before. So I would never go back here or recommend it to anyone for a Celebration. Just the idea, for them to bring to out and then charge for it. Anita, Thank you for taking a moment to leave a survey with us. I am sorry that the steak was tuff, and I am sorry that we weren't able to fix it. But I understand that you didn't want to say anything when someone else was paying. Also, I am sorry to hear you were charged for a birthday dessert. We love sending complimentary desserts for birthdays. This should have never happened, and I am sorry that it happened to you. Hopefully everything else was still good, despite the mishap. We hope you will give us another chance.- Kira Hassenger F&B Director
