Restaurant review: When my wife and I first met (11 years ago), we used to go here and loved it (such a romantic atmosphere) and the food was wonderful. At the advice of friends, we decided to go back for our anniversary. Boy was I disappointed!!! They sat us in the newer room with the stage. The music (FAR-out jazz) was playing so loudly we could hardly hear each other. I 'politely' asked if the waitress who has been there for years and years would please turn it down a little, and she told me "NO - that's how we like it." WOW... The steaks were over-done and burnt tasting, and the service was non-existant and impersonal. My wife and I both regretted spending $70 on our special dinner at this run-down, servicless dive! Never again - don't waist your time until they get new management. Try something like Ruth Riss...yummmmmmmm
