Ditto.

Both times I was there the service was quite good and did not get the feeling I was being stalked. The only thing that annoyed me was when they told us not to smoke in the smoking area because they overbooked and the two other diners requested for a non-smoking table. since we requested to be seated in the smoking area, why should we be asked to stop smoking, right? not our fault they overbooked.

anyway, the steaks were very good and perfectly done, and my friends and i had a great time. and that’s all that mattered.

went to I am angus last night after reading this blog. Was very surprised to see the rsto half empty considering it’s own by santos, plenty of parking space and Friday night.

Anyway we had rib eye, t bone, sea bass and duroc pork for main.

Is it worth the visit ?

Our steak was one doneness above our order. The Madagascar green peppercorn sauce is the only thing that give flavor to the steak. Otherwise it’s tastless and not juicy at all.

The Duroc pork is juicy but it’s over cooked. It looks more like turkey meat than pork.

Sea bass I did detect the flavor. They did not musk it. Very good.

Garnishing – your side and a quarter of a small tomato. Why quarter of a tomato ? Puzzling.

I like the steak knife. Very nice but not for sale.

I agree…”too good” service is bad service. You should never be afraid to take pictures of your food!

when im hungry and if the food tastes as gorgeous as it looks, im oblivious to people around me.. the wait staff can turn cartwheels across the floor for all i care. but what really irritates is when i need something and i have to wave my hand like stupid to call a waiter’s attention… better to be waited on zealously than for one to be ignored seconds before they notice you exist.

That pork looks good Lori!

I know what you mean about over the top service- it can get uncomfortable when there’s too much overt fussing by wait staff. Service should be as invisible as possible and not turned into a show, imho.

I think most restaurants don’t let customers use the pepper grinders because the grinders often end up being stolen. Still, I’d prefer to do it myself, too, and even more important, I’d prefer they wait until I taste my food before they ask!
