Turns out we were actually in the Alcestor Steak House. Didn't matter. After a warm greeting by the locals (us being unlocal) we immediately knew we were in the hands of a true professional: Shelly the bartender. She oversaw the creation of martini's so cold, and so dry, that we concluded they had dust on the olives. This required a detour from the one quick drink on the agenda to three intimate get-to-know-me sessions with these exquisite elixirs of ecstasy. You don't run in to likes of Shelly every day. In fact, it happens about as often as you find a world class martini in a place called "Ster Steak Ho".

It's an older building so it's a little run down but that does not detract from the amazing food. Everything came out fresh and piping hot and I mean Hot! It literally just came off the stove. They have a sign that says "this is not a fast food restaurant, everything is cooked to order so please be patient". It did take some time but it was well worth the wait. We really enjoyed the fresh bread that was brought to the table to start with, the olive oil on the table to dip the bread in was a nice surprise. My wife ordered the cheese ravioli and the sauce was creamy with the right about of spice. The cheese instead the ravioli was smooth and creamy. Delicious! I used the bread to soak up the rest of the sauce after my wife was done, ha. I ordered the Pollo Marsala and the sauce was delicious, I normally like a thicker sauce but was very good, the mushrooms were fresh and not over cooked so it was great and added a nice flavor to the dish, the three chicken breasts we're nice sized was juicy when I cut into them. The only complaint I had was the noodles were under cooked. That was actually the complaint from my daughter who ordered the fettuccini Alfredo without the peas. I would say it was a pleasant experience and I would definitely go back. I would try the spaghetti and meatballs or the ravioli next time. If you are in the area and in the mood for Italian food I would pop in and try it out!

TL DR: They started a sliding scale on the price of their steak without updating their online…read moreprices. Causing customer to pay over double for their meal after ordering over the phone and coming in to pick up meal. I've been going to Waddys for years. I come here constantly. Every time I have company, inevitably, I always bring them to Waddys. I do road construction, so when I'm working in the area, I'll call in an order and I'll come and pick it up. I have been a massive fan of this place for God knows how long. Today I Ordered Chislic over the phone, because I'm working in the area. I checked the prices online before I ordered, the price online said 15.5 for a full pound. I ordered a full pound, and got a side of fries. What I thought was going to be a nice casual treat for myself getting to eat at one of my favorite restaurants - turned into a $40 (?!!) dollar lunch?? If you want to charge more for your steak, charge more. But tell your customers the cost of the food upfront. It doesn't need to be a surprise thing when the check comes and then you stick them with the purchase. I should have never left feeling like I was stuck with a $40 purchase when I expected a $25 purchase at the most. this is why menus have prices on them. It tells the customer what the dish is going to cost them, so they can budget for the dish. I did not have $40 budgeted to pay for some random lunchtime meal. Suddenly, they started charging "fair market value" for their beef. So that means whatever the market value is of their beef that day, is what the price is of their steak tips. It's a guessing game for the customer to know what they're going to be paying for their steak tips essentially. If you can't update the price daily, then come up with a static price for your meat. What in the fudge Waddys? Out of all of the countries I've been to, all of the states I've been to, All of the hundreds of thousands of restaurants I've been to - never have I purchased a dish with a sliding price scale. When I asked the bar staff about it, she just said beef is at a fair market value price. I told her the price online was 15.5. You need to make sure that you're online prices reflect the fluctuation in prices for your goods. If I had known, I would be throwing $40 down the toilet for a simple lunch today to go to one of my favorite places I would not have done it, I would've waited for a more important occasion, and would've just ordered a simple burger. Also, Who charges "fair market value" on their beef? It's a ridiculous way to price gouge your customers, and 90% of people that come here are regulars. Why would you want to do that to people who wholeheartedly support you. I'm even more pissed that now. I have to find a better restaurant to take Waddys place. The few thousand dollars that I spend here annually I'm sure will be better spent somewhere else. I hope the extra $20 you made off of me today was worth it. Peace 2 stars for the Chislic. Bc I'm not so sore on making a point that I'd completely disregard how good they are. It's the principal, treat your customers like they matter.
