"I've been eating here every couple of months because of the Dine Rewards, not necessarily because of the atmosphere or the food, since there are so many better places to eat and steak isn't my favorite food. But this experience made us decide it's the last time. The previous time we ate here was January and we didn't use our 50% off reward because we didn't spend very much and figured we'd wait and maximize it. After this meal in April, we found out the reward had expired! In addition, when I first signed up for dine rewards, the server told me that they would always ask me for my number so I wouldn't have to remember to ask them. Well, the last 3 times, the server did not ask us and we forgot to give them our number and each time I had to call and be put on hold or go back to the restaurant to get my number put in afterwards to get credit. It was always a hassle. So this time, we were ready and remembered to give her our number, but the reward had expired and we still got nothing back. The food was fine, one 8oz sirloin with fries, a side salad, 2 draft beers; and one 6oz filet with 4 grilled shrimp, sauteed shrooms, bleu cheese pecan chopped side salad, mixed veggies, 2 glasses of wine. Seems like a normal dinner, right? You wouldn't think the bill would be $85! And after tipping, over $100! And we didn't even get our reward... and Walk-about Wednesday is no longer offered (we dined on a Wednesday). I also need to complain about the bleu cheese pecan chopped salad because I asked what mixed greens were in the salad and I was told bib and spring mix, but it was only romaine lettuce, and nothing was chopped, so I don't know why the salad is called a chopped salad. The best part about the meal was the waitress... she was very attentive and efficient... and all the staff there that evening were nice. The atmosphere, however, was mediocre because we were seated in the bar with a GIANT TV screen over our booth so we had to crowd onto the same side to keep the TV at our backs. And the lighting here is strange. Every time I eat here, I feel like there's a spotlight on me; so this time we unscrewed the lightbulb even though it was a little too dark. I'm sorry to say the food just isn't amazing, and with all these hassles and the price, we don't plan to return. Next time we'll just pick up a couple of steaks at Kroger and throw them on the BBQ. We'll get some salad and a bottle of wine and sit on our deck, and I think we'll have a more enjoyable experience."
