We were swiftly escorted back to our table, nestled in a spacious room with a warm fireplace and soaring vaulted ceilings. While the high ceilings amplified the lively atmosphere, a boisterous large party nearby added to the dinner. Our party of six was efficiently served our drinks of choice, and we eagerly placed our orders: four fillet specials and two prime ribs. Despite the unfortunate oversight of our appetizers, the delectable main courses and attentive service more than made up for it. In fact, our waiter even surprised one of the couples with a complimentary dessert, a sweet touch to cap off our satisfying dining experience.

Strong 4 stars. Porterhouse was how I wanted it cooked seemed like a good quality steak. Potato scallops are delicious. Brussel sprouts were divine. Service was attentive.

I grill rib eye steaks all the time, so I know what they're supposed to be and what they're supposed to taste like. The rib eye I had tonight was the worst I've ever had. It was thin (about 1/4 to less than 1/2 inch thick), sinewy, tough, chewy, tasteless, overcooked, rimmed with globs of fat, and with a big blob of fat right in the middle covering about 30% of the steak. Safeway's select grade would have been comparable - and probably better. For $56 it was outrageous. I could have had a better steak at Sizzler. I'll never go back there again.

Salmon dinner was awesome! Ribeye dinner was quite disappointing. Bread was so hard it cracked my tooth.

Amazing server. Extremely friendly, courteous and welcoming. The dining room had an awesome vintage feeling that seemed timeless. The food was slightly above average but was overpriced.

Tonight, we had a reservation at 5 pm to celebrate my mother's birthday at Vic Stewart's in Brentwood. We pulled into the parking lot at 5pm, we were surprised to receive a call at 5:01 asking if we were still coming, even though the restaurant was nearly empty. Our server, Eric, seemed disinterested and wasn't very attentive throughout the evening. My dad and my brother both loved their perfectly cooked porterhouse steak and fillet, and the creamed spinach was a real hit as a side dish. However, my usual go-to, the Beef Stroganoff, wasn't up to par. They used to make it with larger cuts of Fillet Mignon, but it seems they've changed the recipe to include much smaller, overcooked meat. It was still good, but definitely not worth the $35 price tag. Similarly, my sister and nephew's lobster pasta had a problem with the distribution of lobster. It looked like they were cooked together in the same pan, leaving one plate with way more lobster than the other. Despite Eric messing up our side dish orders, he did fix them promptly. Overall, the experience was alright, similar to what you might expect at a casual dining chain like Applebee's. While the food was decent, the service left a lot to be desired. Maybe the restaurant was just having an off night, but given the prices they charge, we expected better quality service and attention to detail.

The ribeye was so tough I couldn't eat it The steak should not have been served. No visit from the manager to correct my terrible meal.

Ordered a Caesar Salad. The dressing looked and tasted like mayo. I can buy much better dressing at the store for $3. Almost no cheese as well. Rest of the meal was no better. I hope they see all these bad reviews and improve.
