I went to this restaurant with my family because its rating was so high on citysearch. We sat down at a table in the corner near the window which we liked, but we were asked to move to another table, and they didn't give a reason why. 5 minutes later they sat another family at that round table and it definitely didn't appear that the table was reserved by this family. The waiter we had took our orders and then disappeared for 15 minutes, which I guess wouldn't have been a problem had we not been waiting on refills for 10 of those minutes. But, to his credit, for the remainder of the evening he did a wonderful job getting us refills. I got the pork tenderloin and I wasn't a big fan of the sauce it came with. The tenderloin also had a lot of fat in it that I tried to cut around most of my meal. My mashed potatoes were really good, though. One of my other family members got the filet mignon which was the special for the evening. I tried some of it and it was not tender at all. I chewed on the piece for a good bit. The steak also had a good amount gristle in it. The only other problem we had at the place was that they overcharged us for the filet special. Normally the filet is 24.99, but it was on special for 22.99. We had to call them on our way home because they had charged us 26.99. They quickly corrected this problem, though. I might try this place again, because I am hoping this was just a once in a lifetime bad experience there. A lot of people apparently really like this place, but from our experience it really made it hard for us to see why.
Pros: Cheeseburger, Mashed Potatoes, Pizza
Cons: Service, Price, Filet Mignon
