Meh.

by neal2zod

Took the folks to 1705 recently - the decor/atmosphere was great, the greeters were very nice and courteous, but the overall experience was just average. First I ordered the flank steak (or was it flat iron?) and they took the order, then later told me they were out. Kinda weird since there appeared to be about 5 people in the restaurant, but ok. I ordered a burger, and a side of asparagus. Turns out they were out of that too. Or as the waiter put it, "Well, we do have some asparagus left, but we're saving it in case someone orders Steak Oscar". Wow, thanks dude. Glad you put hypothetical customers who might not order a particular dish over the customer already sitting there.

The Lobster Risotto was VERY generous with the lobster, but was way too greasy and salty. We also ordered roast chicken, which basically tasted like Boston Market covered in ham and cheese. Yeah, I didn't understand it either. I ordered a hamburger cooked rare (totally my fault - i was just shocked to see a restaurant cook it rare for you and curious to try it) and needless to say i spent the rest of the night in the bathroom. Totally my fault though.

Seems kind of ridiculous to say a gourmet steakhouse is overpriced, I know. But...it's overpriced. There shouldn't be any place on earth where a cup of hot water and a bag of tea is $4. If this sounds like a deal to you, by all means enjoy. But there are better places to waste your money (It's Prime Only or Angus Barn are still the best)

so many better choices

Just do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Waiter just wasn't with it, like he was on mars. Food was just average and not near worth the $.

• Pros: good variety
• Cons: poor service and average food

Great service

by Melnev

Very private, excellent service, great key lime martini's. This was a company function that required quite reserved service and timely presentation.

• Pros: Ambience
• Cons: Small
