    Not their best night. Have dined here previously with much better experience. Server was slow (busser was excellent). Medium-well ribeye came out rare, with parts inedible. Medium-well churrasco came out dry and overcooked. Entrees included a salad but learned at time of bill that it was only house salad and not caesar. Was charged $6.99 additional for each caesar. When we questioned the waiter about the charge and stated that he should have let us know when we ordered, he replied he didn’t think so because no restaurant include caesar salads. I guess he doesn’t dine out much. We paid the bill but did not tip on the salads. We won’t be back, place is not what it used to be sadly.
