"We were one of 3 parties on Mother's Day. We had to wait an hour for our meals. Our server told us 4 times, "your food will be right out." It took so long it was as if the cooks went out and killed the cow from scratch for our filets. My side dish, macaroni and cheese, was bland and mediocre at best. By the time we were done with our meals and were asked if we wanted dessert, we were ready to leave and could not get out fast enough. I will not be returning to this restaurant nor will I recommend it."

"You will not find a better quality filet or sirloin anywhere! Bring your wallet. Two guests, a bottle of wine, 2 apps, 2 entrees and 2 desserts with tip ended up costing $300. A special occasion, but a great one! Be sure to get the roasted mushrooms and twice baked potato for sides."

"Rib Eye bone in Steak was good- well seasoned and cooked to order - Short Rib with papradelle - bad news. gummy snarly mess and something a little funky. ( maybe past it's serve date?) Wedge Salad with under lying red wine vinegar --- WHO DOES THAT? so sour - it was difficult to choke down.
Wine - delicious for 30.00 bottle.
I would recommend for steak only."

"This is the best resteraunt that I have been to in Providence for Steaks, I recommend the 10 ounce filet ant the Sweet Potatoes hash is to "die for" it is an explosion of sweet and tangy all in one dish. And the mushrooms for a side for your steak - a must."

"The food was excellent,however we went during providence rest. week and we had to ask for the rest. week menu.Thay did not offer it ,we first asked the hostess, and she never brought it.The waitress came and was informing us of specials again never meantioning it was rest. week.When we asked her for the rest. week menu she made a noise and went to get it, not happily..It was very uncomfortable, we spent plenty of money especially on drinks ,but she made us uncomfortable!! and was rude when we asked,I have been to many rest. (22 bowen)during rest.week and they always bring the menu and actually inform you of same.I would recommend they not participate if they keep it secret and make you feel uncomfortable to order off it!"
