Best Steak Restaurants in Dowell

While having dined here in the past we used to have amazing service. The last few times we have been here the service has been disappointing. The food is always great but when you pay over $200 for dinner and the service is horrible it makes for a bad experience.

The staff are spectacular and attentive to me and my family. The food is great and everything tasted fresh. The only negative thing is that the people from a large table next to me was standing all the time chatting (pretty loud) and almost right on my face. I just wished that they were further away or in a private room.

The food is always great, but this time the service was a little rocky. I think our waitress was new. We had a party of seven and taking orders was chaotic for her, though we went in order in a circle she missed a few orders and walked away before asking everyone to order. We had to flag down to come back. She also did not check on us often and we all ran out of drinks multiple times. Overall, the food was good, as usual, but we’ve definitely had better service in the past.

In a nutshell, we had a good experience. Let’s start from the beginning. I had asked on my reservation and called as well to let the host know to put some confetti and a card with a note on the table and they confirmed that would be done. Unfortunately when we got there, it wasn’t done. I had to remind them, go back in the waiting area for that to be done before getting seated again. I do appreciate the rectification. Our server Jake was great! He provided excellent service, was courteous, respectful and did a wonderful job waiting on us. The drinks were good, the appetizers were great. We really enjoyed what we got. (Calamari and sweet & spicy shrimp). Our main courses were okay. We just expected a little bit more from a high end restaurant. My sea bass was just okay. I wouldn’t put it in my top three. My husband’s steak was okay as well. We did not like the mashed potatoes so Jake took it off our tab. The crème brûlée was pretty good though. overall, good experience but not enough to wanna go back on our own.

The Chicken Casarecce Pasta and the Fried Chicken Rice bowl were well prepared and delicious. The white chocolate cherry bread pudding was large but disappointing in flavor profile (very little flavor) and only a couple very small pieces of cherry in it.
