"Food was good, service was extremely rushed. We knew that it would be a very fast dinner as soon as we arrived as the waitress was asking for drink orders before we even opened the drink menu and it continued throughout the night."

"Super appeizer specials. We went early before the dinner crowd and our service was less than desirable. Our drink order didn't come until after we finished our appetizers. We will go back, I just hope we get a different server."

"The second visit for my wife and me ... and both times our meals were fantastic. Well prepared and creatively presented. Thus far we have focused on the seafood, so I can't really speak to the steak side of the menu. Depending on your preference, the hard surfaces in the dining area can contribute to a rather noisy dining experience if you are joined by very jovial fellow diners elsewhere in that space. There are more secluded booths if your are looking for a quieter experience. I requested (via online reservations), and received one of these locations. I was aware, but not disturbed by a rather boisterous birthday party in the main dining area."

"There was noothing memorable about this place. Two of the three guests had their steaks cooked wrong. And other than the ceviche the appetizers were mediocre. Salads were not cold or crisp. I would not recommend."

"Our steaks were sub-par. I've had much better at the Western Sizzlin. I wasn't impressed at all and my fiancé was disappointed. We will not eat there again."
