   Second time dining at this restaurant. First visit was very good. This time around my dining experience did not meet my expectations. First of all, I requested a window seating even the General Manager "Richard" put a note on the reservation system. Did not get the window seating even though there was an available window seating. The Maitre D gave the window seats to another patron right after we got seated in a booth which was on the other of the restaurant, which was extremely noisy hard to have a normal conversation. When I told the Maitre D about the window seating request and that the General Manager placed a note on the reservation system, she got blew me off like she didn't hear what I said. Our waitress by the name of Christine made lots of mistakes. Waited over 10 mins before coming to our table and trying to rush us to order our meal. She brought two large San Pellegrino bottle even though we only ordered 1 bottle. We weren't done with the second bottle of the San Pellegrino; she took it away but charged us half of the second bottle. I thought it was kind of odd that she took it away bottle even though we were still eating our dessert. Food was good but the portion this second time around was not the same as the first visit. Our first visit, the General Manager was extremely friendly and loquacious. This second visit, run into the GM at bar area, not as friendly nor chatty the first time around which I completely understood because the restaurant was extremely busy. I would think twice before returning at this restaurant even though the food was great, the service was not the same as our first visit.

    We ordered 2 steaks which were on the menu for 60$ One was a rib eye steak and the other was a New York steak. We were charged 95$ for the rib eye steak and 75$ for the New York. That’s 50$ more than listed on the menu. Very disappointing because we eat there quite a lot but maybe not for awhile now.
