Sure it was a Christmas Night, and of course the place was very busy. We waited for 30 minutes in the lobby and another 40 minutes at the table just to get the drinks. We asked for the bread and were told that bread comes with salad. Bread came after we finished with the salad. Filet Mignon was perfect. The big disappointment was Prime Rib, we ordered two and both came cold and overcooked. We had it last year and it was so good that we ordered two this year. Forest Mushroom Chicken was very nice.

I came here to celebrate a promotion and had a great time. Our waitress was wonderful. She was very fun, personable, and attentive. She knew her cuts of meat very well. The food was very delicious and the portions quite generous. Get the tableside salad and don't pass on the carrot cake.

We had a really nice family dinner here. I loved the table side salad bar! Everyone enjoyed their food. One other plus is that the place was not *over* air conditioned. It was comfortable for everyone, and not chilly from too much AC.
