    We had a horrible table in front of the kitchen. I had full view of everything in the kitchen. It was so loud in there, and I couldn’t hold a conversation with my husband because of the noise. I ordered a baked potato. The menu says “loaded.” I specifically said I only wanted butter, sour cream, and chives, and absolutely NO cheese. I received a loaded baked potato. I was half way through my steak when I received a cold baked potato with butter that couldn’t melt because it was cold. The waitress removed it from the bill, but by that time my husband was horrified that my birthday dinner was ruined. My steak was good, and so were the mushrooms. I didn’t like the appetizer choices, so I skipped having one. I will not be rushing to return. Taco Bell always gets my request for no cheese correct. I would hope that a restaurant that is $100 a person could get it right, but no.

    The food was excellent and the service was great. They made our 16th anniversary well worth our first trip.
