We have always enjoyed this restaurant when visiting the area. I have always rated this restaurant 5 stars but was disappointed this trip. We had a 4:30 reservation so we could enjoy the sunset with my visiting brother in law. As usual I always appreciate...the extra time and effort the chef/owner puts into his simple but thought given process in his preparation. The salad is always fresh, cold and crispy greens with extra time put into the picked sweet cucumber, the pickled cauliflower and the balanced and chilled carrot slices. The combination compliments any dressing choice. My wife and brother in-law both ordered the Halibut one pay seared and one blackened. Both were very happy with the presentation, preparation texture, freshness and flavor. I ordered a charred medium rare ribeye steak. This is where i was disappointed in getting a medium to medium well cooked steak that was on the dry side. The meat was good quality but not to my liking nor as I ordered it. When the server came to clear the table she asked me if I wanted a box for the portion of the steak i did not eat, I said no it was somewhat over cooked for me. She apologized and nothing more was said. The steak did not have crisscrossed char marks on it that seal in the juices like I have had in past visits to this restaurant. We then ordered the six layer sweet street chocolate cake which is always great for for finished with the bottle of wine and a cup of coffee. The server then brought the check with no adjustments for the overcooked steak. The server did do a good job and was attentive so I still left her a $41 tip on a bill of $189. We will go back but will order my steak rare and maybe get it the way i like it.More
