Ist timer everything I expected for a well known local Eatery, Portions were plentiful & tasty, Prime Rib open face very filling & excellent, Steak fries very good, Shrimp Cocktail great as good as I've had in awhile only La Cave barely tops it, next time I'll order an additional 5th shrimp will make it perfect , cocktail sauce was perfectly flavored .
Service was a little slow but Understandable. Kenny seemed to be caring for all the tables, was very cordial , attentive & friendly
Music selections perfect mix of Rock n Roll with some Oldies
Restaurant was very cold
Very, Very reasonably priced
Definitely returning
This review is only about the Tall Male Bartender/Manager We don't know his name and do not care too, he is rude and disrespectful. We have been going to The tartan Room for over 45 years and have brought 5 generations My Wife's Grandparents, Parents, us, our kids and Grandkids also lots of Friends and Family. My wife started going there with her family her mother just died and we came to the tartan room to bring the announcement and celebration of life invitation. We ordered the special from our favorite waitress who I'm not going to give her name because she's a sweetheart that has nothing to do with this. We ordered the bone in rib eye we were going to get the prime rib but we thought what the heck let's get the bone in rib eye it's got a bone. The rib eye came it was perfectly the way we ordered it which was rare but there was no bone. We said we ordered the bone in rib eye the waitress said let me go check with the manager and find out what happened. She said the manager was going to come by and speak with us which would have been fine we were just going to order the prime rib because it didn't matter if there was no bone in with the prime rib. Instead by the instruction of the manager who happens to be the bartender she said OK we'll make you a new one with a bone in it. And at this point the waitress didn't listen I said we'll take the prime rib because we didn't want to go through the hassle I told my wife now it's going to come back over done small because we ordered it twice I knew what was going to happen I called it my wife said no have a little faith we've been coming here forever and it's our favorite waitress. Lo and behold the rib eye comes back with a bone in it and it is so overdone that we can't eat it because it's tough now if we would have cooked it longer we could have probably made fajitas or something like that but we came for a $40 steak and it was supposed to be rare with a bone in it I didn't think it was too much to ask and I actually didn't even want it because I thought they were going to mess it up and we'd get yelled at or ridiculed. Well I told the waitress hey this is overdone she said OK well let me talk to the manager I thought to myself Oh no what's going to happen now my wife was shrugging but she said the same thing this is ridiculous exactly what you said was going to happen. She says the managers swamped but he will look this over because the new one is overcooked, Our Waitress said it wasn't overcooked but my wife took over and said yes it is. We just wanted a steak that was rare with a bone in it . Nevertheless bartender approaches our table abruptly. He says to US I'm not giving you another steak you eat it or you get nothing. We had wine at the table and he said I'm not giving you this wine either and he picked up our wine and took it away.
Our Steaks are below and yes they are bone in, rare and without insult
