1 /5 Jessica Ellison: Had dinner with old friends tonight. The drinks were great, and getting a reservation was easy. The evening started out well.
We ordered a chimichurri steak medium rare to split. It was nicely plated on two plates, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the steak itself came out basically blue.
That wasn’t an issue for me, but it was for my partner. He did not eat any of the steak. He cut off the fat, saw that the inside was cold and uncooked in the center, and stopped. We told our server, expecting a standard fix — re-fire it, replace it, or adjust the bill.
Instead, the response was that he would “tell the chef.”
When the check arrived, we were charged the full price. When we asked about it, the server said the manager refused to do anything because “a bite had been taken.” To be clear, no bite was taken. Apparently trimming fat and noticing raw meat now qualifies as finishing the dish.
There was no apology and no attempt to make it right, just a rigid response to a clear kitchen mistake.
We won’t be back.
