   Love Monday night specials with wine (good choices). People who had salmon were delighted as was short rib partaker. I did not get what I ordered (something new on menu) but what I got was good (pork chop). They offered to redo but not feasible to be able to eat with other diners.

   We were seated promptly when we arrived. We ordered our drinks and they were delivered quickly. Beer was super cold!! Wife had the French dip and I had the New York Steak with cauliflower gratin. Everything was cooked well and tasted great. We will visit again

   Mexican Sea Bass was very good. However the beef in the enchilada was fatty, dry and tasteless. No complaint regarding the chicken enchilada. The spirited drinks were very good. The banana cream pie was very good.

   Went for happy hour time slot, ordered baked Brie and garlic fries. Dinner was the short rib and steak frites. Food came out quickly, waitress was friendly and provided opinions and made great menu recommendations. Brussels sprouts were delicious, as i subbed my mashed potatoes for them. Portions were generous. Would order the baked Brie again for sure.

    After waiting 20 minutes from the time of ordering our food, I asked the server how soon could we expect our meals? He gave a glib answer and said it should be soon. Our meals arrived almost 5 minutes later, and the three burger meals we ordered were the appropriate temperature as were the french fries, my husband’s meatloaf and mashed potatoes were if not, Stone cold, definitely cold. Even his plate. Obviously his plate had been sitting for at least 15 of the 20-25 minutes that we were waiting. We let the expo know before she even left the table, that his meal was cold and she took it away. It took entirely too long for his “hot” meal to arrive. The mashed potatoes were definitely hot as was the au jus, but when he got to the middle of the meatloaf, it was in his words “refrigerator cold”. But probably the most obnoxious “slight” was the whipped cream on the Keylime pie. I had to ask the server what it was, because I did not even realize it was whipped cream. It was white and slimy and had zero form whatsoever. When The Kitchen realized the whipped cream had a problem, they should have served that Keylime pie with no whipped cream rather than what we ended up with. In his defense, the server asked if we wanted a new piece of pie without any whipped cream whatsoever. We’d already eaten a quarter of the pie in front of us so I declined. But he did not apologize, he explained it away. So the meatloaf dish and a Keylime pie were an absolute bust . But the burgers and french fries were delicious. Our server should’ve apologized immediately when I brought up the subject of the long wait time, rather than excuse it away. The same is true for the slimy whipped cream on the Keylime pie. He should not have tried to explain that away, rather he should’ve apologized and immediately brought us a new piece of pie sans “whip cream”, NOT just offer to bring us one. He should’ve been embarrassed to have put that down on our table in the first place.
