   Instead of a table, I sat at the bar, service was friendly, but a little less attentive than it could've been considering it was almost empty. My pasta meal was very good as reccomended by the bartender. I did however had to ask for bread and my water glass was never refilled even though I was there well over an hour.

   The food was delicious and the service impeccable. We very much felt at ease and unhurried. It was great to share the time with my niece in such an enjoyable space.

   The food was good, but they are still struggling with staffing issues. The dining room was nearly empty yet we had to wait for everything, from menus to food, and refills.

    Beautiful outdoor setting but could not enjoy company at the table as the music was blasting loud! Need to turn it down a few notches to make conversation possible! Had to yell across the table…

    Food was just ok. The service was slow - we were there for a weekday lunch and sat outside. Had to wait 25 minutes to order and had to walk up to the receptionist to pay at the end of the meal.

    For a Prime Steakhouse, it was very mediocre. You go to a place like that to spend $150 on a dinner for 2, it better knock your socks off. Service was fairly slow…nice but slow…they were understaffed so no fault on them. Pasta dish was bland, sides and add ins were ok(and late) and the steak was not hot coming out. Bread was…ok. It was an Outback experience when we were expecting Harry Carey’s. Very disappointing.

    We took a party of 10 to dinner at the last minute on a Saturday night... They were very accommodating, our server Johnny was outstanding, and the food was excellent! Best steak for the money that I have had in a long time!

    Steaks weren’t cooked correctly, even after discussing it with server when ordering. Brussels sprouts were awful. Corn brûlée was excellent. This was our first time at HC…we had gone because my son was Harry Carey in a school “wax museum” and we thought it would be a cute way to celebrate the last day of school, which was also that day. We probably won’t be returning, sadly.

    Great service, great food, and we enjoyed our time there. We were a little surprised that, although I had mentioned in our reservation this was a birthday dinner for my wife, that there was no complementary small dessert thing offered. Not a big deal, just noticed because there usually is one.

    Hands down the best meal I - and our entire group - ever had. All three of us got the dry aged ribeye steaks. Appetizer of grilled octopus, and sides: garlic mashed potatoes, creamed corn brûlée, and crispy Brussels sprouts. The food was almost a religious experience. How have I missed this gem? Roger was our server and he was professional, pleasant, and attentive. Five stars!

    Food was exceptional. The wine was complimentary of our dishes. The server was informative and kind but they were clearly understaffed. We felt badly for those working that night. Hope they can hire more people soon.

    Reservations made one week prior and we arrived on time. It was Mother’s Day. 10 minutes to get seated, 45 to see a server, another 15 to get drinks. Asked for a spicy Bloody Mary, received one with so much ground pepper, I nearly choked on the first and only sip. Disgusting. Others seated 30 minutes after us received their meal before us. Food mediocre. A mess and overpriced. Definitely not returning.

    Service was very slow, even though it wasn't full in the restaurant. We had to ask for our server several different times to check on drinks, food, etc. One of the entrees was wrong, a few were overly salty and then we were charged incorrectly on our bill. We had trouble hearing each other because of the noise level. And, our coffee was cold. Just not a great way to celebrate Mother's Day. There are better restaurants with better service in the area. We won't be back.

    One of our dishes was not good. Way overcooked. My wife didn’t eat it and when asked we shared with the waiter that it wasn’t good. He apologized. But that was all. They didn’t remove it from the bill or pay for our appetizer. Nothing. Service was very slow and the restaurant barely had any people in it.

    We were kindly greeted at the door by the manager and the hostess. I regret to say this was the most attentive interaction we had with any of the HC staff members all evening. After being sat and given menus, we waited almost 20 minutes for service, and, after watching several servers walk past seemingly ignoring us, we actually had to ask one of the server’s assistants to bring a server to our table to take our order. Once at our table, our server, Bryan, was very polite. We opted to place our full order, including appetizer, salad, and entrees at this time, given we’d had so much time to look over the menu. We quickly began to notice that entire service staff, including Bryan, appeared to be preoccupied with the large party dining in the private room in back, and almost every time we needed anything, we had to wave down a server or server’s assistant, as everyone’s attention was geared towards that room. I noted we weren’t the only ones struggling to get the service staff’s attention in the main dining room. After placing our order, we waited another 15-20 minutes for our appetizer to come out (Toasted Ravioli), an additional 10 minutes for my salad (BLT Wedge), and over 1 hour for our entrees (2 Holy Mackerel Burgers and Spaghetti and Sausage). Had the food tasted as though it was worth the wait, that would have been a savior, but the entrees were nowhere near the quality we’ve known for Harry Caray’s to have. The burger tasted like it was made with frozen patties, the meat was beyond well-done, though ordered medium, and the “smoked American fondue” could’ve been glue for all I know, because it had no flavor whatsoever. The pasta? Bland and tasteless. In fear of having to wait another hour for the food to be remade, we simply chalked it up to a failure, paid our bill, after waiting an additional 15 minutes for Bryan, and left. Disappointed to say the least. Definitely not up to the Harry Caray’s standard, and will be reluctant to return.

    From the experience with the lady bartender, to the lackluster food and overworked waiter, this is not a place I would recommend eating at. Other restaurants have solved the labor shortage, but not this one - something is amiss. Did I mention the food was bland? :)
