  Dined with a large group on June 9, 2016.
  
  We sat in a private room on the top floor and had drinks, dinner, and lots of laughs. The building is very old, but is kept up nicely. Had a real feel of history to it.
  
  The food was decent, although the menu lacked any real kick. Pretty much your standard, run-of-the-mill fare. The drinks were cold, the steaks were cooked as ordered, and all-in-all a great time.
  
  While there was only one waitress assigned to us, we didn't mind the slowness of the service, as we were primarily there for the company and conversation. I will say that at the end of the meal, once the check arrived, it would have been a nice gesture for the waitress to advise us that the tip had already been factored in given the size of our group. We ended up splitting the bill a few ways, so there wasn't one single itemized bill; my point, given all of the slips and cards being passed around, it was easy to overlook the fact that the tip was initially included although there was a line item for an *additional* tip of each of the bills we all received. I left wondering how many prior parties might have "double tipped".

  Our meal started here when one of the locals suggested we come on in while we were outside reading the menu. As far as I am concerned she was most likely an employee portraying another customer talking about how great the food is and how impressed we will be just to get us inside. We dicided to enter the restaurant. Upon entering, we stood in the doorway for approximatly ten minutes while the staff walked by, nodded and forced out some smiles in our direction. Finally we were seated. I was quite surprised by the menu prices, but I am a firm believer in the age old saying "you get what you pay for" so I was prepared to pay extra to be wowed. We started with a shrimp cocktail appetizer, the sauce was ok but the four infinitesimal shrimp left much to be desired. Next we moved onto our salads which were included with the high priced entrees. We were given a choice of three dressings, I chose creamy italian which went very well with the six pieces of lettuce and three carrot shavings I was told was their salad. Finally it was entree time, after being left starving I was very eager to enjoy my $23.00 NY strip steak. I was served my steak and was not overly impressed off the bat. The meat was not cooked to my liking but judging by how hungry I was and how long it took to come out the first time, I didnt dare send it back. The cut of meat was repulsive. I cut the fat off my meat and after doing so was left with a six ounce steak. I ate three bites and cut into the steak for my fourth and was greeted by a 1/4" artery running through the center of my steak. At which point I was no longer hungry, not from being filled up by these highly overpriced menu items, but rather by being nauseated by this awful sight. I could not finish and left the restaurant with the same hunger I went in with and a far lighter wallet. The other members of my dining party were equally dissapointed. I feel as though this establishment portrays a high end dining endowment by serving their small portions at colossal prices, but are far from delivering on that promise. We will never return
