In Short
Located on the 16th Street Mall, this downtown hot spot's dark, rich woods and soft, ambient lighting create a cozy dining area conducive to long meals and whispered conversations. The menu features an extensive selection of seafood and some steak and pasta dishes. The Buffalo rib-eye is served medium-rare with asparagus and choice of potato. The blackened red snapper can be paired with Willie G topping, a mixture of mushrooms, garlic, shrimp and scallops.

Came in for dinner with two friends the other night and we were greeted by a server at the door. She kind of gave us the up and down look (we were in jeans and tees) and seated us at a corner both in the back of the restaurant; out of view. Our server was in his mid twenties, a bit scruffy, and seemed energetic at first then seemed as if he were just reciting the same thing he would say to every table; in fact we overheard him talking with another table and it was literally a script. We had calamari, soaked in grease, I had their cowboy ribeye special with lobster that the server told us about. The steak was overcooked (medium well.. i wanted medium rare) and the sever didn't even apologize. The manager of the establishment brought out the steak and seemed pretty uncaring about the situation; another young kid. Before we finish our entrees the server asks if we want desert, we tell him we're unsure, and then he immediately drops the bill. We skip on desert tired of this place and look at the bill. The server never told me that the "special" for the evening costs 50.00 dollars. I was furious but said nothing, paid the bill, and left. If you want to wait forever for food prepared wrong, servers that have no life, and a management staff that shrugs this off.. go to Willie G's.

Excellent steaks and I love the shrimp cocktail appetizer! A bit pricey but the downtown environment more than accounts for the price. Good place to go on the 16th St. Mall.
