Park Ave, Stanton

Tonight I attempted to take my husband out for a nice dinner there for his birthday. We invited his grown children who were very excited because we have told them so many good things about it. For the last several years we have celebrated every special occasion there and it has always been wonderful. Tonight was such a disappointment. The service was slow. Our steaks were all overcooked. We told the waiter and he we had to talk him into getting us new ones. I was so upset I couldn't even finish my food. The steaks usually melt in your mouth and the staff is always so nice. We were just there last month and it was great. I don't know what happened. It was such a bad experience I don't think we will be going back.

The bread basket is wonderful – great crusty bread with swirled butter pats and crispy flatbread. It is served in a great “basket” which looks like a metal fruit bowl you might see on the center of a kitchen table in the 1950s. Texas Antelope Medallions is served with Poached Pear Risotto (substituted Risotto with Mushrooms) and topped with a Red Wine Demi-glace. This dish was disappointing. The meat itself was tender, but very bland, not tasty like its Venison cousin. The Red Wine Demi-glace didn’t really add much flavor. With salt and pepper, the entrée became palatable. Thumbs down with 2 stars. 7 oz. Filet Mignon served with Herb Butter Mashed Potatoes (substituted Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta) topped with Shiitake Mushroom Sauce was fabulous! The meat was tender, cooked to perfection, and flavorful. The Shiitake Mushroom Sauce was a well-received compliment to the meat. The Brussels Sprouts were fabulous as well! The pancetta added a nice salty, smoky flavor to the sprouts. Thumbs up with 5 stars! 14 oz. “Delmonico” Bone-In Rib Eye coated with a Rosemary and Garlic Rub and served with Cheddar Mashed Potatoes was disappointing as well. The meat was chewy and had a noticeable absence of flavor. The only redeeming quality was the mashed potatoes with a nice cheddar cheese flavor. 2 stars. What’s a birthday without dessert? The Flourless Chocolate Cake with Fresh Whipped Cream was awesome! It tasted more like a gourmet brownie, chocolaty and decadent. The presentation is beautiful as well. Thumbs up with 5 stars! The Bruleed Banana Tart with Vanilla Bean Pastry Cream was great as well. The bananas on top of the pastry cream were torched like a creme brulee. The pastry was heavenly, like a light custard, but creamier. The only thing I would change is the crust. It was a bit too hard and brittle. Breaking it up with your fork almost caused collateral damage as pieces shot off the plate. Maybe a lighter pie crust or phyllo shell would work better. Thumbs up with 4 stars!

We went for the first time yesterday and loved this place. We enjoyed the food and atmosphere. it was nice to stroll around the patio and garden while waiting for our meal. Bothe the NY and the filet medallions were wonderful. I’m surprised at the negative reviews – out service was perfect.

Food was ok. I had the Lobster tail and steak. My girlfriend had the fish. I was there for a birthday dinner and had a REALLY BAD experience. Our server and the manager needs to know how to treat a customer. Especially if we are coming in a large party of 18 and spending well over $600. They separated us to two table which was ok but what happen made our table angry. My friend order steak but mistakenly the waitress ordered fish. He was the only one that did not receive his food and he ask where was his meal. The server told him his meal was coming in 5 mins. Two minutes later she told him that his fish will be at the table soon. He corrected her that it was steak. She went in and check again and came out to apologize and gave him the option to wait for the steak but it will take another 15 mins but he can get the fish (which he did not order) in 2-3 minutes. Being a nice guy he said since the fish is almost ready he will consider the fish even though he wanted the steak. She said don't worry she will take his order of the steak off the bill. Giving the assumption that he will not have to pay his meal due to his wait and misunderstanding. After the meal, the check arrive and he was charge for the fish meal. We ask the server why was he charge for a dinner that she said she will not put it in the check. First, she said she meant that she will take the steak charge off the bill and charge him with the fish. But the whole table heard that she will not charge him for the meal. She replied back changing her story she ask the manager if she can take it off the bill but her manager ask her did he eat the fish and if he did charge him for it. During the whole conversation she did not leave the table. In the end, my friend said it's ok and he will pay for it. I don't recommend this place to anyone. Unless you want to be mistreated and lied to. Oh yeah, they expect us to pay for gratuity after that service which was well over $50.

They were rude because we didnt have a reservation then let us sit there for 20 min before they even asked us for our drink order so we left and will never return

I've never had a bad experiance... from the delicpus apple butter with bread to the Filet Migon medallions with a twice baked patato and a side of crunchy buttery green beans. Can't wait for the next experiance!
