The positive was that my Filet Mignon was cooked to perfection and tasted as it should. The concerns were that while advertised as an 8 oz cut, there is zero chance of this, more like 5 oz. - I'd also say that the potatoes lacked any real depth, just an average potato - and lastly the side veggie was some very sad and bland half sized roasted squash that truly lacked inspiration. Again, I'm will to maybe let the veggie and the potatoes go, as they were a to go situation but the size of the steak and the portions in general underwhelmed for a $43 dish.

The bar area has the character of a midwestern bar. About 30 ft on lay the dining area which was non-descript and empty (it was late). In short, the food was fine. The waitress was cordial enough, and prices were more than fair. This place serves the 'the locals' and probably serves them well. I probably won't come back because it is out of the way. The other reviewers who rip on the place are transients, and don't matter. You need to get the context to understand a place like this and who it ultimately exists for.
