The good: We got the blue cheese fillet, which was excellent. Blue cheese flavor wasnt overmuch and the steak was cooked perfectly. They also had some pretty legitimately good beer. The Fresh Squeezed IPA may now be my favorite beer, and I drink a lot of beer. The escargot was good, but not great. There was a slightly odd sweet taste that just really didnt fit right to me. Their waitstaff was also pretty great. The bad: The green beans were *awful*. Some of the worst I have ever had. Just mushy and gross. Not just a little overcooked, but like boiled for half an hour. No way should something that bad come out of a decent kitchen. These were insultingly bad. Multiple people must have seen these and just gave them a pass because they didnt want to deal with it. We were offered a replacement... at the end of our meal. Which didnt make sense to us at all. I ordered a hamburger, which was only borderline edible. Literally a frozen bubba burger is a significant step better. This one was hard like cardboard, extremely bland, way overcooked, and with a bun that was soaking wet half way through eating it. Im guessing it is only on the menu to placate picky eaters? Or to have a cheaper option, maybe? Home ground burgers can be seriously great, but something like this shouldnt be on a menu at a steakhouse. I expected much better. Again, I was asked if I wanted a replacement, which I declined. Not sure why I would want another bad burger. Not the worst meal Ive ever had, but far from the best. Again, the steaks were the most important part of the meal and they did do them quite well. Overall, we wont be going back.

Went with some friends who were visiting. We were seated in a timely fashion, and the atmosphere was lively, though not so loud we couldnt talk at the table. The server was friendly, going so far as to make some conversation while filling water and taking orders. The bread was soft inside, with a nice crunch to the crust, and the butter added a sweet flavor when dipped or spread. I ordered the calamari, and was surprised at how cheap it was, and I was not disappointed by the flavor at all. I was similarly thankful for the price of the 6 oz. sirloin, and when I got it, cooked rare just as asked, it was heavenly. It was not under or overcooked, and was soft, tender, and very juicy, being easy to chew, and melting in the mouth. I was thoroughly satisfied after the meal. Overall, wonderful food with courteous staff, and wont gouge your wallet.

First of all let me say that my steak was perfect! My dates prime looked dry to me but she seems happy. Thats really what saved this review. The hostess was so indifferent that it really soured the experience. The restaurant only had three tables being served and she sat us directly across from 2 others. I asked to be moved to a table and said, "This is perfect." And instead she insisted on walking us over and sitting us right next to the only other couple in the restaurant. Absolutely no regard or chance for a private conversation. If the steak wasnt perfect this would have been a one star review. If youre planning on going to the keg I would definitely recommend going to one of the other locations unless eating a great piece of meat in an atmosphere that is like a strip mall doesnt bother you.

If I could leave 6 stars I would. Ive eaten here a handful of times and have nothing short of excellence with the different items on the menu (lobster, prime rib, scallops, twice baked, vegetables, desert..) along with outstanding cutser service from the ground up. Special thanks to Carlos the manager on one of the nights we came in and ensured our service was above and beyond even when my girlfriend made a mistake ordering her steak under cooked they took care of the issue IMMEDIATLEY and went above and beyond to ensure we the best experience possible. Truly admirable and blow away after eating and traveling all over the world I recognize and appreciate good customer service first and foremost every time!!

For the price and how fancy this place is supposed to be, they didnt live up to my expectations. I arrived around 7:45 and they were already out of prime rib so I opted for the baseball cut steak. The steak came out medium rare and was very good, tender and flavorful. The vegetables that came with it were terrible, they were undercooked and dry . If youre going to cook vegetables please sauté them, steam them or bake them. do something other than throw them in the microwave to justify the quality you purport to have. The service was ok nothing great nothing bad.

Probably one of the best food experiences I have had all year. I have never been to this location before, and they really went out of there way to make sure we were taken care of. The staff was super friendly, the restaurant was clean and inviting, and food was amazing! We have been looking for a good spot in the East Valley and I think we found it. We look forward to going back again soon. Thank you everyone who worked Christmas Eve so we could have an enjoyable evening. We will be back!

First time eating here and I was not impressed. May look nice and fancy on the outside but cannot say the same for the food. The BBQ sauce was not that great. Taste more like ketchup. Too sour and tangy. Not enough smokey flavor. The menu did not list all the appetizers so we missed out on getting the garlic cheese bread. The bread for the table was sourdough bread which left a bad taste in my mouth. Overall, I wouldnt come back. Spent over a $100 on bad meal. Very disappointed.

I was very disappointed in the food quality. The service was great!! But we had frozen bread that tasted freezer burned. Some garlic toast that had too much salt. And the Prime Rib tasted like they re heated it from the day before which was not good. Also the asparagus was mush and not seasoned. I would not recommend this to anyone who is spending a $100 dollars or more for 2 people. The Texas Roadhouse has much better food and its 30% cheaper.

3-The decore, atmosphere and service was great. Just not impressed with the food. Their prime rib was just ok, their pecan sirloin was a bit on the sour side and their mushrooms appetizer had the smallest mushrooms I have ever seen. 4-Tried it a second time and perhaps I previously caught them on a bad day. The Oscar sirloin was delicious as well as their twice baked potato. Their signature dessert was quite good.

The service was amazing the atmosphere was relaxing and the food was phenomenal. Our server was very social but being funny and professional he made sure he checked on us make sure that everything was good and exkactly how it needed to be. But the prime rib was the Cherry on top. The prime rib was cooked to absolute perfection and paired with both horseradish and Au Jus sauce made this dish simply breath taken.

We had the best service and food! Greeted very nicely and seated right away, our server (Jenayah sp?) was very quick to get our drinks and explain some specials. Our food was served with very little wait time, our drinks were refreshed before we could finish, and everything was super fresh and cooked how we asked! Some of, if not THE BEST, service and food weve had in a long time! Thank you!
