We ordered the prime rib, beef cheeks, and the plate was not at all, what we expected but wonderfully prepared Eric our server asked how we liked it and I didn’t Roy’s comped our dinner and in my opinion they are what defines a great restaurant when things don’t go as planned. They stepped up to the plate ha ha way to go Eric and management Soufflé was off the hook though
