Another chain steak house. Closer to the top end than most. If you aren't on an expense account--don't bother eating here. Having said that: the food IS good. The steaks are tender and cooked as ordered. The baked potatoes seem to vary from very good to so-so. For the price, they should STAY very good. Veggies are properly done 3 out of 4 times. 4th time they taste like last week's leftover from the can. They have a full bar. Reasonable selection of wine--all overpriced. It's one of those places where it's cheaper to buy a bottle of wine and sample it at home before buying a glass of it here. The place is well kept. For the crowd they attract, that's pretty much imperative. The staff tends to be rather full of themselves. It is apparent that if they THINK that you are not on an expense account and are not likely to leave a 20%+ tip, the service becomes slow and condensending--quickly. Something of a self-fulfilling prophesy.... Parking sucks. Maybe we didn't hit the right parking garage. All the nearby parking is expensive and a pain. I rated it 3 stars simply because: If you have the money and the right "vibes" you have a good chance of getting a first rate meal with good, inobtrusive service. Personally, I'd say that some of my other choices would provide better meals at 1/2 the price:) less
