The Silver Dollar Bar & Grill

The food and service was fine.  We both ordered the specials. Hers was the shrimp and pasta.  I wanted the ribeye, but $36-$37 was too much to take a chance on it having not eaten there before.  So, I ordered the special beef (5 oz tenderloin), thinking it would be around $22 - $25.  No salad, some stupid dry purple mashed potatoes, and asparagus (anything that makes your pee smell like that can't possibly be good for you).  The meat was way too rare (ordered medium-rare) but it was good so I didn't complain.  When the bill came, my meal was $49.  Forty nine dollars for a 5 oz piece of tenderloin!!!.  Are you fricking kidding me?  I asked the waitress why she didn't state the price when I ordered it - she said they were told not to mention the price unless the customer asked.  I paid $49 for a less-than $25 meal.  If you go to the Silver Dollar, be sure to ask the price of the specials.  Usually 'specials' are a little cheaper, but not there.  By the way, we went there because the online menu said they had a halibut meal that sounded real good,  Needless to say, that was "in some old menu that changed just yesterday!".

Good bar food. Waaaaaayyyyyy way way too many loud big screen TV's that ruin the atmosphere (they'd get 4 or 5 stars if this was different). But often there is great live music although the acoustics aren't that good. Worth going to in order to see the fun bar with a ton of silver dollars in the top.

ARROGANT AND SNOOTY!
I stopped in the bar and was told with kids, we could only eat in the grill.  We went next door to the grill and put our name in.  We were told it would be 45 minutes and WE COULD ORDER OFF OF THE BAR MENU by the man at the reservation desk, the manager.  When we returned 45 minutes later, the man at the reservation desk advised me that we could no longer order off of the grill menu.  I expressed my displeasure with waiting for 45 minutes with five young boys and three adults.  I was told he understood my disappointment but the decision had been changed 10 minutes earlier.  There was no apology and no acknowlegement of the problem of now finding a place to eat at 7:00 on July 4th night when the city was hopping.  The reservation desk was arrogant, rude and was snooty.  I have never been treated so poorly by a "quality" restaurant.  It is sad that a beautiful, historical building has such a terrible tenant.
