Went there with a fairly large group. I ordered a caesar salad which came with way too much dressing, and one of their "specials", a ribeye steak with "spicy korean sauce". Yeah, I should have known better.
The sauce tasted like someone mixed tabasco and plum sauce and it the steak was literally drenched in it. The steak itself was not cooked the way I ordered it; It was, to quote Tarantino, bloody as hell, and I had ordered medium rare. This would not have been a huge deal if it was actually a decent steak, but it was mostly gristle and fat. I was raised not to waste food so I choked about half of it down before I couldn't eat any more. Luckily the caesar salad and bread had mostly filled me up. Instead of the mashed poatoes that were promised, the dish was served with a small scoop of rice (with an inexplicable sprig of rosemary in the middle) and exactly five shriveled green beans. (one more than the person to my right, who only got four. Score!)
Service was fairly slow, I had to ask for more water. If I hadn't been with work colleagues, I would definitely have sent the steak back and probably had a word or two with the manager about the quality of the meat.
