A place that was a long time favorite, not visted for a few year's but still listed as "fine dining " , dressy-casual and classy. Is ABSOLUTELY NOT the same experience.
What was supposed to be a birthday experience & an extremely rough but grateful year, turned into a train wreck and leaving hungry.
Service gave diner vibes, the way under dressed screaming and whistling across the restaurant from sitting customers, getting served over the half wall of single booths, food coming out with long uncomfortable gaps in between, wine 3/4 throughout the meal served over the bar & skunked, appetizers a mix of undercooked shrimp to over fried dry calamari, the crab cake was the only great part and Cesar salad with a burnt/rubbery inedible crust.
Then the what was supposed to be x2 med/rare told more on rare side 9oz filets, mashed potatoes and asparagus with another vegetable I honestly forgot because not a single vegetable came out, the steaks were well done/gray! The potatoes were a runny mess on the plate with zero presentation. And the forgotten lava cake dropped in front of me like I did something wrong, raw!
I never in my life, ever left without eating my steak or dessert! And we came to EAT!
We're locals who both worked in AC 25yrs and my husband opening the staple restaurant there Vic and Anthony's, taught by the owners crew in Texas the expectations and what was expected for quality of food, service and drinks. This was diner quality at best. The ONLY one's serving & collecting the plates correctly were the few food runners who were awesome! I was a restaurant manager and I'd be embarrassed to have this & stand behind it. The management & service before here, was top notch! The view was beautiful but the 3/4 of unruly, underdressed customers, destroyed it. And we noticed the 1/4 with the same look we had & we were told by our server our steaks weren't the only to be sent back like that would make us feel better. As having this position in a fine dining restaurant I know what was expected of me. Not once did we see a manager, anywhere. Not once did he come to our table to speak to us, try to smooth things over to get us to cone back, not once did he/she appear & we were told they were begged to. They took off the steaks and cake, then came back and said they begged to take off the wine. We never asked, but as locals, I was so upset I made my feelings calmly known & still the manager hid. Completely unprofessional, inedible and the biggest birthday disappointment ever! If you're expecting the quality explained on Google or the restaurant page.....don't. Those day's here are obviously over. I've never in my life had an experience like this at once was a fine dining restaurant. This makes us nervous to go in vic and Anthony's now, as my health held us back from going out for a pretty decent amount of time. Such a beautiful place, wasted! And, I left the leftovers on purpose!
