text: let us just say the servers are not friendly nnthis was my nd visit to this steakhouse the st visit was a total disaster the server spilled drinks all over the table and one of our guests the steak i ordered rare came to me medium at best everyone at the table knew it even before i was told to cut into it by the waitress apparently she did not realize that when a person tells her that anything more than rare will be sent back they mean it because they are experienced and have had many bad experiences due to some cooks not knowing how to cook a truly rare steak that being said all i had to do was look at the steak to see it was obviously overcooked the waitress had the audacity to tell me she would take it to the kitchen to make sure i was right nnsorry to be indignant about it but when a customer tells you the steak is not cooked right maybe just maybe the customer knows what he or she is talking about needless to say the waitress came back and said that i was indeed right and that they would cook me a new steak it was just the snotty way she said it that sticks with mennso we decided to give it another try anyone can have a bad night and it was quite packed that nightnnwell the nd time the service was just as unfriendly in fact the waitress was down right rude when i told her of my experience the first time and reiterated that anything more than rare would be sent back she merely said the cooks really knew what they were doing and that could not have happened in this restaurant as if i would lie about my first dining experience there reallynnmind you it is an hour drive from Milwaukee to Madison then another hour back home so let us get to the detailsnnthe food is in general good i ordered the large filet the st time after the nd try it was cooked just the way i like it nothing special just a decent rare steak so there was nothing wrong with the dinner i tried the ceasar salad again your average salad minus the crutons ofcnnthe nd visit i ordered the venison filet the sauce on the was overbearing if you try it get the sauce on the side so you can decide if you like it or how much you want to put on it so that you can taste the venison it did come out rare the st time so kudos for the waitress at least listening or the cook for actually reading the order correctly the filet was served with cooked kayo and baked potato undercooked i guess you have to really like kayo to enjoy it i found in pungent and let the vegetarian at the table enjoy it the nd visit i ordered the salad it came out as a wedge it was swimming in french salad dressing by the time i cut it all up the lettuce had wilted into a coagulated mess i just could not finish it it was awful again get the dressing on the side so you can put on how much you want so this does not happen to younnin summation perhaps this trendy restaurant wants to make its guests feel ill at ease snooty servers can ruin a good night out rude ones can make it a trial the staff needs to learn that they can make up for a bad night by at least being friendly they do not have to hover or be your best friend both visits every person in my party commented about the poor service and bad attitude that is the st time and on the nd visit overall we have all agreed that we will not be backnnthe star rating is due to the service not the food if i rated the food perhaps a or star rating would be appropriate i have had better steak my favorite steakhouse in Milwaukee is the Of the clock Steakhouse on State Street in Milwaukee formerly Coerpers they know how to treat people and cook a fine steak for about the same price Tornado could learn a lot from them
