   DW and I arrived early for a reservation for 8 adults and 1 small child. Wife's 63rd birthday celebration on Christmas Eve. We sat in the bar and enjoyed a couple Friday's Signature Drinks. They are good drinks but almost devoid of any alcohol. My second drink was a New Orleans-style Hurricane ala O'Briens. The bartender was kind and explained that they usually only make their signature cocktails. But if I knw the recipe, she'd give it a try. A co-worker found the ingredients on the web and we were off to the races! The 2nd "Hurricane" was exactly what I hoped for and was very very good. It even had the alcohol in it. Our guests arrived and we moved to our table. Our server was right there and took care of us like old friends. More drinks and app's ordered. All was good. Friday's does the App's to perfections. For the dinner orders, some folks had burgers, a special salad, and other regular fast items. Three of us ordered 1-salmon, 1 bourbon glazed filet, and 1 regular filet. The burgers were good, the salad was fine and the other fast stuff was good too. DW liked her salmon. The 2 filets were both not good. Filets should never be tough, but they both were. My "Medium Rare" was well done at one end and medium the rest of the way. The other filet was suppose to be medium but came out well done all the way through. We should have ordered the sirloin. We were there for a birthday and reserved as a birthday dinner, but staff forgot to mention or ask about it so we came home a celebrated here. Fridays is a good place when you want standard food, and fun drinks. For fine dining hopes, go somewhere else.

   Apparently it was a busy night for them. We arrived prior to our Open Table reservation time, and despite selecting a "high top" table, we were told that there is only one left, but it isn't cleaned off and that we could wait if we wanted... which we did. It took a long time for us to be acknowledged by a server. We knew what we wanted to order from drinks, to apps, to entrees. Since other servers deliver the food we hadn't seen our server in awhile. My husband ordered a second drink that didn't arrive until we were finished our entrees. A couple minutes later our server brought us our check. I had a coupon, so she had to adjust the check and give us a new one. I thought it was odd that she never came by to ask us if we were interested in dessert. By the time we left, the place was less busy. Guess we picked a bad time to go. That said, there were multiple time slots available on Open Table. Later, I received an email that said my reservation had been cancelled. Not by me. Apparently instead of checking us in, the hostess cancelled our reservation. I think we had the "B" team that night.`

   Reservation was for 7pm and we did not get seated until after 7:30. We used OpenTable because we did not want to wait and I have never had an issue needing to wait with OpenTable at any restaurant. After finally getting seated another 15 minutes went by and we still had not seen a server, we had to flag someone down to send us a server. She did finally come over and was very apologetic. The restaurant itself seemed a bit in disarray with a lot of dirty tables and a lot of empty tables (so I’m not sure why we couldn’t be seated at 7, unless they were just short waitstaff). And yet there were employees hanging around at the host station not really doing anything but chatting. Seems like someone could have chipped in cleaning off tables to help. Before our order came We were brought complimentary nacho chips and salsa for the inconvenience which was appreciated. The finally food came, was hot, and tasty. The sides were missing from a chicken dinner meal, however quickly rectified. I will probably think again about going in for dinner, but I have never had a problem with service at the bar. So I’ll stick with that and avoid bringing the whole family there. I do not blame the server though - she was lovely and extremely polite and apologetic.

    Good overall, but don't order steak. Really struggled to get the temp right.
