    We were greeted well. The maître d’ was very accommodating. It was approximately 10 minutes before our server eventually came to see to our needs. However, Once we start receiving service, whatever we needed, Those needs were met. I would highly recommend To my friends.

    Ordered the New Orleans BBQ shrimp appetizer, frenched Australian Lamb and large filet. Food was cooked to order and the service was great. The black cherry balsamic glaze on the lamb was tasty.

    Promptly greeted and seated. Sarah was our server, and did an excellent job. Her smile is contagious, and her personality is awesome. Really enjoyed speaking with her, and wish her well in the next phase of her journey in college. Food was wonderful as always. We enjoyed the seafood bisque, shrimp cocktail, seafood trio and petite filet mignon - all cooked to perfection.

    New waitress. Interrupted too much. We had to coach her as what to do. Ordered seafood trio. Scallops were fabulous. Crab cake sub par and shrimp was ok. Sides were very good. French onion soup was excellent. Brie appetizer has changed and not as good as it used to be. Needs more fruit. No berries served with it anymore

    Upscale but casual. Friendly staff and great food. I loved the bread basket too. There were larger groups in private rooms so the atmosphere remained quiet. We arrived on time and were seated immediately. Good quantity of food. Want to try the Sunday brunch deal sometime.

    Ive had better and cheaper salmon from texas roadhouse. The ny strip was good but was unReasonably priced and on the half dozen oysters one was bad and i spit it out immediately. Overall a 6/10 the butter for the bread was good. The lamb rack was very delicious and priced fairly. Overall what you pay for is an ambiance and good service, the 60s jazz music made me want to take a nap because of how long it took the food to come out

    My Thai chicken salad was just ok, nothing to write home about. My husband ordered a crab cake sandwich, and he said it had a lot of filler. So much that he didn't eat the bun. The service was wonderful and the atmosphere is conducive to conversation.

    Just terrible lack of attention to detail by the hostess. To sit my girlfriend and I in the back room, next to a 6 person birthday celebration dinner is extremely lacking from a restaurant of this caliber. How could we enjoy an intimate date night out next too a noisy group? Which by all means wasn’t their issue, they have a right too enjoy themselves. Hence why they seated the table in the backroom to begin with. The ball was dropped, and I definitely will be giving this restaurant a break for a while.

    I have been to Schlesinger’s several times. This trip was not the same experience. I had a reservation and was asked whether I wanted to wait for a booth (table still eating) or take a table. Weird, I’ll take the table why do I need to wait. The server took a while to get us water. He was a little slow on getting us what we needed. The baked potato could have baked longer, the steak was under the warmer a long time as the plate was HOT. For the price of the menu items, I just expected better quality food. My previous experiences here have been fantastic. Must have been just a bad night.

    I visited for my birthday and prior to going I did setup a reservation a week prior. When arriving the table that was reserved was occupied and had to wait to be seated. 15 minute wait. Me and my date both ordered a medium New York strip cooked to perfection. It had the perfect thickness very juicy and the beef flavor was amazing. I had a side of their mashed potatoes and my date had the Macaroni and cheese. Both sides were excellent. Although my reservation was not met and had to wait 15min to be seated I quickly was able to forget about the mishap by the amazing meal and the amazing service that was provided throughout my meal. The price tag was well worth it and will come back again on any special occasion.

    I ordered the fillet mignon. When it came in the server asked me to cut into it to see if it was cooked properly, I picked up my knife and started to cut, and I asked the server are these knives dull? She said no, they’re not. So I proceeded. Steak was cooked correctly, but it was very chewy not super tender like a fillet. I sent it back and you sent me another fillet which was undercooked. I sent that back and it came back over cooked. But I decided to eat it anyway. It to was chewy. I had a much more tender steak at Longhorn last week. Little disappointed in Slezenger‘s. Our server was super great, Miss storm. My date also said her steak was a little bit chilly, but she did not want to complain about it.

    Giving grace because we had late reservations but apparently the stoves were already off for the day. Broiled food looked and tasted as if it had not been fully prepared. Waitress remained professional and apologized profusely. Creme Brulee was delicious however!! Would return but next time it will be before 8.

    Loved celebrating our anniversary here after years of not being able to go there. Coupon for buy one, get one really helped out! Love the food! Room was noisy after a table of five men sat down and one couple moved. Wish management had asked them to use inside voices!! Too nice a place for people to ruin others’ celbreations!!
