    Most of our experience was great, but I was greatly disappointed in the steak I ordered. We were seated quickly and well trained to by the staff. However, I ordered the waygu steak and it was not prepared well at all. I ordered it medium rare which should be served warm with a red center. This also should allow the fat to render and browning or maillard reaction on the exterior. It was cool, bright red and chewy with a grey exterior. It was quite rare. Of course I could have sent it back, but I'm order to cook it to get the browning on the exterior, it would've been well done on the inside and they had already proved they couldn't grill it well the first time. I would not recommend steak here. The smoked duck was great, the fried green tomatoes, Mac and cheese and brussel sprouts were all great. But stay away from the steak.
