TDC

I was totally unsatisfied with my experience and will not return. This place is basically a very, very expensive tourist trap trying to cash in on a historic name.

The hostesses were not especially friendly when we checked in for our reservation. Our server group was friendly and attentive to start, but fizzled toward the end. We had to ask for water refills and for someone to follow-up on our after dinner drinks. They also didn't pay attention to detail with our leftovers. Why would you pack shrimp cocktail without the cocktail sauce?

They don't tell you how many ounces your steak will be and our rib steak was so small in relation to the price. For two people we only had 4 pieces each. Ridiculous. It was well prepared and well seasoned. Their house sauce was gross.

The bread basket was disappointing. The shrimp cocktail and wedge salad were good, but not outstanding. The german potatoes were nothing special, kinda dry and over salted.

The desert menu is lacking.

The decor looks very nice and expensive, I didn't get an intimate steakhouse feel during our meal.

I love that they have giardiniera. That alone sets them apart from other sandwich shops for me. I like their toasted crusty bread too. I like that you can eat in there.

The dude making my sandwich wasn't the most friendly. He wasn't rude or anything like that, but his demeanor didn't come off as very welcoming at all. Like you were a bother for him to make you a sandwich . You know you took a job making sandwiches right? The cashier was more friendly and saved my experience.

If I didn't like the sandwich so much, I wouldn't come back at all. And even though I do like the sandwich, I might think twice about returning if I don't want to deal with moody service workers.
