      <content>We went last night.  We walked in at 6pm and it was already almost full.  By the time we left just about all the tables were full.  Very small but nice looking place.  Our server was very attentive and very cheery. 

They brought over a basket of rolls; mini kaiser and a knot roll with sesame seeds.    I ordered a vodka tonic and it was way too strong.  I did see some tables with traditional martinis.  We started with the cornmeal fried calamari and they came out piping hot and tasted fresh-they send a tiny little thing of sauce and we requested more.  My older daughter had the strip steak and a baked potato- the steak was huge.  My younger daughter had the fish and chips that had a HUGE portion of french fries.  She liked her meal but I forgot to taste the fish.  They looked nice and crispy.  I had the 12oz filet and a baked potato.  I was going to order medium rare and the server told me the chef cooks on the red side so I ordered medium and I am glad that I did as the filet was medium rare and really perfect.  We skipped dessert.  The bill without tax was $96 for the 3 of us.  When we left the hostess did not say thank you or goodbye.  Silly complaint but when dropping $100 on dinner it would be nice to be acknowledged on the way out.

I don't think it is somewhere we wll go to a lot but it's nice to have a steakhouse up in our neck of the woods.  </content>

      <content>We ate there before they had their liquor license as well.  The food was good enough but the service was crappy.  The waiter was leaning over/sitting on the back of the chair of the table across from us.  Where is the professionalism.  hostess was nice enough and welcomed and thanked us.  The place was nicely decorated, bathrooms were beautiful.  The music playing left something to be desired.  Definitely did not fit the atmosphere I thought they were trying to portray.   Otherwise, I would recommend its worth the try!</content>

      <content>My daughter and I ate there. After reading some of the posts we opted to dine early as to beat the rush. We were walkins with no reservation but had no problem getting a table. We split an appetizer of Shrimp cocktail, both had the smallest cut of prime rib, and both had dessert. I had a glass of wine and my daughter had a soda.  The whole bill.... under $80. I felt it was well worth the price and had no problems with the service either.</content>

      <content>After reading a really bad post about the place when it first opened, I have read so many good ones that we have a reservation for Saturday night.  I will let you know how it turns out.</content>

      <content>Gave it  second try and will not return. Had a reservation at 8, at  8:15 I said something, and a manager came over and said there was a 20 minute grace period, and he was doing me a favor by allowed me to wait,  that  if I was late he would wait for me. He then ( at 8:26), led us  to a table, only to see another worker sit another party at it. NO APOLOGY. We were seated right in front of the waiters station, and kitchen door. Waitress tood drink and appitizer orders, might have been nice if she took everyones before walking away- she forgot me.   Finaly waved her down and ordered,  appitizers were great- freshly cooed shrimp cocktail, and tuna tartare. Salads okay. Mains were mixed- prime rib was good, but extremley fatty, about a 2:1 fat to meat ratio, salmon  tasted like the entire salt shaker was dumped on it, a new one was better. It did have the tase of bacon on it. Surf and truf items were brought out on seperate plates, about 5 minutes apart, lobster was doused in what seemed to be the entire serving of butter, a new  unbuttered one was brought out by the manager, who had an obnoxious attitude. We skipped dessert, but were forced to listed to the entire description of there upcoming special nights. Too bad the service and attitde of the staff was so awful, it is a lovely place, and the food  has potential,</content>

      <content>Have been there several times since it opened.  I have been extremely happy with food and service each time.  The staff is fast and friendly. The hostess if you speak with her is usually Augie, herself.  She likes to stay on top of things and I believe that is why the place runs so smoothly.  Someone complained about being 'forced' to listen to upcoming events; but I now ask for them as they are often wonderful specials that bring us back again for another enjoyable outing at a less costly price!</content>

      <content>We went recently and thought it was very good.  Actually having just gone to Morton's it was a downright bargin.  We got a porterhouse for 2, which is served Lugar's style on a sizzling plate) and it came with a potatoe and salad for each person.  At $74.00 (price for 2 people) I think it's a good deal.  We really enjoyed the steak. Also had dessert, we split a key lime pie, it wasn't the best I've ever had but it was good, I liked the crust.</content>

      <content>The place is inconsistent at best. One night, a dry but well-cooked pink prime rib comes out for $24. Two days later, a $30 requested medium well filet comes out rare, is sent back and comes out rare again (not medium well, not even medium, but rare). A week later, there is no swiss left for onion soup, so I say it's fine if their $6 French onion soup comes with muenster. It comes to me syrupy. I order prime rib, Am told none is left (this is about 8 pm on sunday of Labor Day weekend, when most people are home grilling, right?). I order filet again, and the owner tells me medium well should be red in the middle, over and over again, then starts to lecture me further. Forget that this is not the first filet I've ever had in my life. I told him even the waiter behind him admitted the steak was rare the last time. He huffs aways and tells the waiter to comp my food. Even free food is not worth this nonsense, so this is the last time I will visit this place. Yeah, it's local but there are still better and cheaper places in northern Westchester. Go elsewhere.  </content>

      <content>Hey its me again.  I finally got the chance to go back to augies and try the big filet that jrm330 was complaining about.  Not only was it great, but they had it as a special.  It was topped with crabmeat and bluecheese.  They called it Filet Oscar I think.  You have to try it when you go.  It was absolutely outrageous.  Sorry jrm330.  maybe you should go back and try it again. :)  Kudos to Augies!!!!!!!!</content>

      <content>Went last night, Too many tables for a small place, very loud, got bumped into while eating at least a dozen times as our table was in an isle. 
Porterhouse for two special-$75 way too much. It was average, came with mashed and a lettuce wedge. I was disappointed. Oh well, there's always Hanlons. </content>
