text: I'm not a big fan of steakhouses in general, but I went with a group of 10 colleagues, and I just went with the flow.  The food was typical of any upscale steakhouse.  A la carte steaks, seafood, and decent side dishes and desserts.  The atmosphere is very good.  I think the lighting was perfect, unlike one of the other reviewers who thought it too dark.  It was packed, and therefore a bit noisy.\n\nThe scalloped potatoes and lobster tempura were my favorites. The crab cake appetizer was disappointing.  I ordered the Alaskan sole, which was ok. \n\nReading other reviews would make one think that the service is awesome here, but not tonight.  Maybe I'm spoiled, but there are a few details that really bugged me.\n\nThey have an extensive wine list, and our host selected a very nice 2002 Cab.  The wine came out in decanters, and the server put the decanters on the table without pouring.  Ok, maybe giving it time to breathe.  But just seconds later, he started randomly pouring the wine for some of us, then walked away.  I thought perhaps he was pouring for those people who didn't have cocktails, which some of us brought over from the bar.  That would have made sense, but no, that wasn't it.  Even my boss, who ordered the wine, wasn't served.  So after a few minutes, I grabbed a decanter and started pouring a glass for myself, and offered to pour for him.  The waiter came over and said hang on, I'll get that for you.  Then he poured for a few other people.  Interestingly, the only 2 women at the table were among the last to be served.  No big deal, but I have come to expect that ladies be served first. \n\nThe entrees came out, once again my boss, and the one who was paying the bill, didn't get his entree with everyone else.  We two ladies got our entrees nearly last, and the servers confused the dishes.  We said that was wrong, he said, oh I'll fix that for you in a minute, walked away.  No big deal, we swapped our dishes ourselves, but really. \n\nThen halfway through our meal, a manager came out with a half eaten re-fired steak.  Did someone get a refired steak?  Umm, not this table. Was kind of weird to have someone try to serve me someone elses well done half eaten steak.\n\nIn general, the servers just seemed kind of sloppy.  Not offering new silverware, stacking dishes, food not coming out at the same time.\n\nSince one of the orders came out so late, we did get dessert comped.  A nice selection with large portions of various goodies from chocolate lava cake to cheesecake.  The key lime pie was very good.\n\nTo their credit, they were packed on a tuesday night.   My $5 happy hour cocktail was good.\n\nThe bill with tip came out to about $150 a head.  For that price, I would have expected more.  On the other hand, I am usually  disappointed with steakhouses like Morton's and Ruths Chris - they're just not for me.   If I want a steak,  I\"m equally, if not more satisfied, with firing up the backyard grill.
