My best friend in the entire world wanted a filet mignon (steak) to celebrate her birthday. The steak was excellent, I had the lobster. I am giving two stars instead of 1 because the valet parking attendant treated us with more dignity and respect than anyone else we met during our visit. Although we did not dress up, we both wore very nice leather jackets, I had jeans and a pair of 5.11 tactical trainers, a fedora, black vest and she wore leggings, a red shirt.. what I'm saying is average attire for us. We noticed most everyone else was wearing casual, she noticed a couple of gents who looked as though they never even fixed their hair since they awoke... so it had nothing to do with our appearance, or maybe it did? From the front door, to the receptionist just after we entered we were asked if we wanted to be seated at the bar, I asked for a table, and was looked over up and down as she was, the general vibe was quite snobby, I cannot think of a better term other than feeling very unwelcomed and awkward. We got seated at a table which was closest to the door, our server at the start was very rigid, as if he was serving royalty, and I was in the middle of a conversation he literally interupted me by putting the check right in my face, hitting my hands and forcing me to lose my train of thought and conversation. She felt very unconfortable thru out the entire meal. The chefs did come by to ensure our food was excellent and it was, they were the only staff that made us feel welcomed I believe another woman also checked on us she wa pleasant also but unsure who she was. I felt rushed, she felt uneasy and even got numerous hot flashes of anxiety, u sure why but I believe it was the way our server rushed us along and talked over our conversation multiple times rather than wait for us to gain his attention, I was able to calm her down, and being the last patrons there, we noticed candles being placed on seating as they prepared to close the establishment while we finished our dinner.I Asked her if anyone was looking at us odd, and she stated they were not, and analyzing the evening it was the staff who met us at the door, our waiter, being rushed out and presented with a bill in my face, the tone and treatment were very uneasy. I have been told this was a great restaurant, the food was over the top! We will not be dining there again as we felt we were made to feel we were not up to par with their regulars or high esteemed customers or even their staff.
Update: I really wished to go up a star, although over a week later, no response.. down a star, guess this establishment does cater and desire a specific clientele and we are not worthy. A reasonable person would expect a restaurant of this caliber to at the very least coorespond with their high paying customers to assure them this review is not true or at the least incidental.."Right?" it is! Sad, no wonder the parking lot was empty and only a few tables had patrons on thisnbusy Friday evening when every other restaurant had 45-90 minute waits. Very dissapointed as the food was excellent, it was the atmosphere and wait and greet staff that made us write this review.
