    I have eaten here many times and have never been so disappointed. The restaurant had at least three events booked for the evening but still took reservations for the bar area. We waited 45 minutes past our reserved time for the table. If they knew they were booked so heavily, they shouldn’t have taken any additional reservations. We had to send our appetizer back twice because it was cold. The serving of macaroni and cheese was half the usual amount. The bar area was overcrowded and loud with people waiting for tables. You could not even have a conversation. Our server was very good but he was the only good thing about the evening. The manager was running around the whole night but never stopped by tables to apologize for anything. Not sure I will ever go back. A total waste of $200 for a two person dinner.

    Bus service was lacking for table clearing and clean up between courses. All green vegetables were bland and were cold or lukewarm. For a holiday meal, it was quite disappointing for the usual service and quality Eddie Merlot’s usually offers. .

    Came here for my birthday. Private area we were in was cold so had to turn the heat up. We asked for food to come out hot and most of it came out warm to cool. Overall the Waygu Ribeye was amazing, Oysters Rockefeller was amazing, Hot App Platter great. Would come again.

    Do not book counter seating, they will put you at the bar. Service is delayed at the bar because there is only one bartender and they have to serve you and make drinks for the whole restaurant. It is also very loud in this section, had to talk louder to hear each other.

    The wine list and menu is what you would expect at a prime steakhouse. The dining room presents well too—nice combo of booths and tables. My entree of a small filet (appropriately rare), grilled shrimp and crabmeat was very ordinary. The steak was Choice, not Prime. Shrimp and crab were both bland. Wine and service were good. They need to source beef from a different vendor. A prime steakhouse serving choice steaks is not catering to their clientele

    Me and my wife each ordered a Chef’s Favorite item. After eating the French onion soup (delicious) we noticed we never received our salads (part of the Chefs Favorite items). It was busy. Friday night. Atmosphere was loud. Maybe the waiter didn’t hear us correctly. Not that big of a deal. Meal time. Food came fast. Filet slightly charred but perfect medium rare. Blackened shrimp was good. Andouille was okay. Roasted garlic mashed potatoes were okay. Wife was missing the crab from her meal. Didn’t make a big deal of it. Hard to give it a rating due to the mishaps that happen on a Friday night. May go back on an off day to give it a fair chance.

    Food was amazing as always. The calamari is done to perfection and the cheeseboard was a perfect accompaniment. Our filets were prepared perfectly as was the salmon. Leave room for the Bananas Foster - definitely not to be missed! The wine list is extensive and includes something for everyone. Erin was wonderful- very attentive and knowledgeable. Can’t wait to go back!

    We didn’t have a reservation at first when we went in. We were told bar area was reserved for reservations (even though tabes were available) stood in front of hostess and went on open table and made reservation, then told her we have one now cause I just went on line and made it. Was seated in the bar right away. Service wasn’t good either. Bartender was our waiter and was not very attentive. Food was so so. Wouldn’t go back!

    We had a delicious birthday meal. The best server! We forgot her name. Sorry about that. Crab cakes were fantastic and the steak was cooked to perfection. Creamed spinach excellent. Mashed potatoes were tasty but dry- they seemed like they were made early in the day. We ate them anyway. Thank you!

    -Dress code was In place, but not enforced. -Steak was well cooked, but not seasoned. -The new, old fashion did not have the large single cube -The service was GREAT. Everything else needs work. -We left a healthy tip because of the amazing server, not anything else. I’ve been to a lot of restaurants and was very underwhelmed here. Server did everything to make it pleasant. Likely I won’t be back, $$$ down the drain

    It was good overall. It’s one of our favorite restaurants. My steak was under cooked. They resolved it. Both the shrimp cocktail and the king crab bisque soup was delicious. Also our server was a bartender. I forgot his name but he wore glasses. He was very attentive even though he was busy.

    First time here and it was just a Terrible experience. Waiter would walk past the table stare at the empty plates and not take them. It took the manager to walk past and make a stop to pick the plates up. Steak was nothing special Lobster was terrible. Chicken finger were horrible kids wouldn’t even eat them. mashed Potato’s were the only good thing I ate.

Just wasn’t a warm inviting atmosphere! Especially for my husband’s birthday! The worst experience for a birthday dinner that I planned!

    From the seating process to the server in the bar physically running table to table and the class C bartender with the big loud mouth this night was. Disaster. To cap off the poor service and confusion in the bar area the male bartender suddenly became a wine expert and notified us that a) The Eddie Merlot wines were terrible and being taken off of the menu as soon as they can sell the inventory. They were sourcing a better quality to represent the EM image… This was followed by him undressing Coopers Hawk wines as the “lowest of the low” quality - The combination of our poor waitress service (which continued after we nicely pointed it out) and the low end bartender with 90 minutes of his loud voice above all conversations was a joke. I literally resorted to tipping a busser gent to assist us with a wine menu, silverware, and even to get bread to the table…. We will take a long break to let the new owners (blamed by the waitress and bartender for all issues of course) get it together. Both Topaz and Pella just 2 blocks away are class A service and food, so we will not miss a beat there. Good Luck team - it will be needed with this level of staffing.

    Greetings were very attentive from checking in for reservation, seating, and meeting our server. Our server was very experienced in reviewing requests and acknowledgments for the dining request. Her attention to detail stood out. The food quality of our meal was pleasantly prepared. Minor glitches that were missed were the request for condiments and their display of being served. Also, although the ambiance was pleasing, there were a few standouts and noticeable misses. The lighting of the portrait over the booth was missing a bulb which didn’t compliment its estestics. There was a tall sculpture lighting that was possibly 8-9 feet tall that was directly in front of our table that clearly missed being dusted as the spider web was heavily coating the statue. Lastly, the plumbing in the lady's room took several flushes. As a result of low pressure, residue was still left behind. Overall, if the minor hiccups could be addressed, I am sure a 5-star could be obtained.

    Wagyu steaks were cooked to different temperatures than were requested. My mother ordered her Wagyu ribeye medium well, but it was served medium to medium rare. I ordered a Wagyu filet mignon cooked medium rare and it was cooked medium. My father ordered a well done Wagyu ribeye and it was much medium to medium well.  Server forgot some sides and my father’s salad. Possibly understaffed.

    Overall horrible experience. We arrived to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. Our server was not friendly or welcoming. No one wished my daughter happy birthday . We ordered spinach appetizers and it was not as good as it normally is . Out entrees come out and mixed grill is cold , mash potatoes were bad . The blacked salmon was dry and not moist amd potatoes cold . Mind you the venue was empty. Manager comes over as we flagged someone down . He offers no apologies and we ask for check , leave and take our business elsewhere. Don’t patronize restaurants that treat you as if you are not valued. The same tacky server went over to another table . Greated the table , wished the person a warm happy birthday at the start ! Umm wonder why we did not receive the same treatment. Also you have another waiter on the floor. Tall older balding guy that was coughing, picking and wiping his nose and handling patrons food and plates .
