Food ok service scary...

by scrambledeggs at Citysearch

For the price, Knife is a good deal. The quality of the meat was not great. Most of it was very fatty. I thought had a nice selection and the over all food experience was not bad. However, the service was horrible. I am actually very understanding due to the fact that I am in the business my self, but there was no excuse for the service we experienced. The server was straight up apathetic. We asked for bottled water we got tap. We ordered mashed potatoes(which is an extra charge by the way) they never came. We got bread from the busser. When we went to get our steaks we had to go get our own sauces from the server. We got a bottle of wine with no glasses. Best of all...I ordered a Sambuca from the bar and was told there was no bartender. Ha! There were two bartenders. I wet to the bar and got it myself and asked him to add it to my check. After that I ordered another(this time from the server) and mysteriously a bartender must have showed up! I have never met a waiter that could care less about service than this guy. I don't actually know how he has a job. Good luck guys! Go eat, but make sure your servers name is not Adrian.

Is it really a good value?

For 25 bucks you get an All You Can Eat Meal including dessert. You go pick up the meat you want and can order it to your taste. There is also a bar where you can pick up vegetables, salads, and potatoes. My table of 3 were poor eaters and I don't think we eat our value, we were full fast. While I tried to get my money's worth I was force-feeding myself and wondering if others were doing the same. The meat is excellent...I nibbled on some sausage, chicken, and steak. All the vegetables at the bar were cold...not exactly what I had in mind, I don't like to eat cold peas and carrots. The Russian Salad that they served had mayonnaise that was ranci d and we had to ask the waitress to remove it so no one got sick. The desserts on the menu looked mediocre to me...a caramel roll, flan, chocolate mousse, cheese and fruit. I ordered the ice cream (it was gelato actually) and it was suprisingly good. However my companions ordered the caramel roll and flan and were not pleased with it. I wouldn't recommend this place unless you can really pack in your food and don't mind the mediocre quality of the food.

• Pros: Great chicken and sausage
• Cons: cold vegetables, mayonnaise was old in the potato salad

Be picky

by kidholiday at Citysearch

You get a lot for 25 bucks. Buffet, salad bar, desert, wine, coffee....However, the quality of the meat is questionable. You have to wait in line for the meat, and when you make it to the meat station, its a mad scramble. Be picky with your cuts and you'll enjoy your meal. If not, its the luck of the draw. Good or bad, you'll certainly leave full.

• Pros: A lot for the money. Wine.
• Cons: So-so steak
