Rainwater's on Kettner

We were eager to try this one because of an add we saw in the airplane magazine on the way back home to SD. They boasted that they were the top 800 in the world as far as wine selection and they had a guy that has been cutting select cuts of beef there for over 17 years. Well my Husband is a huge steak lover, so we were willing to try the $40-50 a steak (not including sides) for an exceptional steak. Well The waiter could not even recommend a wine for me and basically closed his eyes and fingered a wine, that should have been the cue to get up and leave. We ordered two ceasar salads, and two steaks, two coctails and two glasses of wine at $12 a piece, and the bill came out to $250 before the tip. The waiter did not give us the itemized receipt, and upon asking for it, the waiter mysteriously left for the evening. The steaks were ordered rare but yet was very fiberous. I have been trying to contact the owner for over three weeks now, and no phone call or email back. The place is very dated, like being in the 90's and was definately not worth it. The service was poor, the waiter was very anxious like he was brand new. I think I could have gotten a better meal and service at Mimi's or Denny's. These people are con artist and are definately pro's at avertizing something they definately do not have. Also, since I have been starting to complain about rainwaters to friends and family, I have heard many rumors of how bad the owners are about treating people. I wished I would have talked to people about a good recommendation instead of trusting an advertizement. Never again will I go to a new restaurant without getting great reviews from close friends now we are out more than $250 for a huge disapointment! Oh, by the way, be prepared to valet you car for $15 because this place is out away from every thing downtown has to offer. Stick to Donovans or Ruth Chris if you want a great steak dinner for a fraction of the price we wasted at this place!
