Our first visit was disappointing. The mussels were delicious as well as the calamari. However,…read morethey served me three large filet "medallions" each one cooked differently: medium rare, medium, and well done. Most of it was stringy, they offered only potatoes as a side, and "whatever the chef decides on a particular day." My husband's filet mignon was overcooked and dry, his potatoes lukewarm, and scallops overcooked. He told the waitress who offered to take the scallops - not the entire plate. The manager came over to apologize and asked my husband if he'd like to try anything else but he was too disappointed and lost his appetite. He explained that we were celebrating our anniversary but the woman didn't care to acknowledge it. After all that, the waitress returned and asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu without apologizing about our meal. Very unprofessional. We declined, paid the check, and left the bare minimum tip, which we never do. We don't blame the waitress for the food, but for her service technique and disinterest in her patrons' needs. Oh, they didn't charge us for my husband's meal but lacked the courtesy to tell us in person. Needless to say, despite the charming atmosphere, excellent salad bar, and incredible appetizers, we will not return. Maybe the chef had an off night, but what excuse did the staff have?

The plan share an order of two brisket empanadas and each get the french onion soup. Then our waitress, Lynn throws me a curveball-gumbo- I fold and order gumbo. I make a great gumbo so the test is on. We know the french onion will be fantastic. Brisket empanadas and the accoutrements are a home run-as Upon arrival of the gumbo,I was skeptical.

Had to ask. Then we never were asked about additional drinks. One more small item, air conditioning was set for a high temperature. It was hot in there. Enough to leave sweat on the seats.
