text: The difficulty of finding a place to park was the first problem we encountered at Texaz but after circling the block we saw someone backing out parked and went into the restaurant The noise level was too high but we had so much time invested already that we decided to stay nMy salad consisted of a mountain of lettuce on a plate that was too small for it As I ate bits fell off my plate no matter how careful I was I gleaned so many pieces of lettuce from the table and my lap that I built a little hillock When the waitress came for the plate I quickly scooped up the pile with my hands and put it on top of the remainder of the lettuce on the little plate She asked me if I wanted a box for my salad Really The lettuce mess was neither my fault nor hers and I realize it is the servers job to clear the table but it did happen on my watch so I would have felt churlish leaving it for her to clean up She had liberally sown the floor with morsels of food fallen from overfilled plates being carried to diners but least the hostess was constantly sweeping up the mess on the floornAfter asking whether the rib eye or the New York would be the most tender I ordered the rib eye When it came it took a monumental effort to cut it I am strong so I managed to hack off a couple of bites and finally complained that it was too tough I was scolded for not ordering a filet in the first place and was asked if I would rather have that It was a clumsy job of upselling but I agreed to try one As I waited for it to be cooked I could not keep from staring in morbid fascination at the ocean of gravy sloshing over the gunnel of the overfilled plate across from me The socalled filet finally came and had the stringy texture of tenderized meat not the buttery texture of a good filet and it would have been a nice touch to comp me the difference between the rib eye and the filet but I was charged the difference The time to recommend the filet would have been when I first asked about tenderness not after I had wrestled with the tough rib eyenOur visit to Texaz is not one we will repeatnnPS Although we are seniors we would agree with the post below about the lack of seasoning Some salt and a couple of squirts of Sriracha would work wonders
