Server was a little slow. Food came out to fast.. what too fast ? Yes really.. the fries were basically inedible. Soo soggy they didn’t spend enough time in the fryer. Steak flavor excellent, quality cut of meat not great, temp of meat barely warmed, house made steak sauce 10/10. Best part of the whole experience. Will I be back no. Not with dovetail upstairs. Do I regret coming no.
