Perfect Score Lounge - Newington

Came here with my family to enjoy early dinner, service was excellent and food was great

Towards the end of the Berlin Turnpike, rests this restaurant called Elaine 's and I was going to find out about both the service and their steaks. I was on a whole entire mission after reading the reviews. I was seated instantly upon my arrival and though it wasn 't packed for lunch or anything, the few people that were there, myself included were all well received and the gentlemen working ensured that everyone was both comfortable and enjoying their meals. The elderly woman spoken of in the reviews came a bit later and for the most part, she roamed about the restaurant just checking on things but didn 't interact with the customers and so there isn 't much that I can say about her but it does not matter for I am here for the food anyway. I ordered garlic bread with mozzarella and before it had arrived, they came out with the house bread, which was fresh from the oven with two small butter options off to the side. The soft chew that came shortly after sinking my teeth into the roll was warm and soft. Inviting if you will, as if you were coming in from being out in the cold for hours and Family had the fireplace going just for you. It did not need butter but I applied some anyway and as the butter melted into the dough, I took another happy little bite of bliss. Maybe 3 minutes later, my garlic bread arrived with mozzarella and though it was decent, it lacked the garlic flavoring and the mozzarella cheese itself missed the mark a bit. Not really cheesy, almost as if it were a basic slice from a grocery store from some off brand and it left me with meh vibes but I was not here for the garlic bread....I want to get at that steak baby!!! My Steak arrived roughly 10 minutes later and just how I ordered it too. Medium!!! Definitely a pink center and some nice fatty edges. Seared with a side of lovin ' and my first bite was a step into Steak Heaven. Juicy, flavorful, exciting to the tastebuds, tender and savory. I had it all within my sirloin and I was not upset about it at all. The baked potato and veggies were fine but it was the Steak that awoke the Beast within and I have no complaints about that at all!

If 0 stars were a thing it would be. We came here 2 years ago for my grandmas birthday and it was the worst experience of my life although my grandma decided to come back this year to give it another try it was nothing but worse. The brown haired waitress that has no expression was terrible, I understand you are annoyed and hate your job but do your job correctly. I have worked in a restaurant before and I have never seen more terrible service. On top of that we couldn 't order off the actual menu it was a set menu which was outward horrendous and tasted terrible. The old lady who helped us at the end of the night was why i 'm giving this at least one star she was amazing and so kind. I 'm appalled

If I could leave less then one star I would. Went for Mother 's Day, got told I was leaving a 50 dollar deposit but nothing else over the phone prior to Sunday. When we showed up it was a buffet style which no one told us.... ... the buffet was ridiculous... the food on the buffet was not cooked all the way or over cooked.. they didn 't keep it stocked.. then charged us 38 per person...... which when we were brought the check the deposit didn 't show and when we asked yea subtract it yourself . ... So 200 dollars for 1 kid, 1 senor and 3 adult for a table and food that was less on par with a Denny 's WILL NOT BE RETURNING!!!!

Attended a private party here and could not believe how horrible the food was. The service was no better. Ran out of food before 1/3rd of attendees went up. The waitress had an attitude and lacked skills in so many ways. There is nothing good I can say about this place. Not sure what kind of red sauce they are using on their pasta but it tasted like something out of a jar. Felt bad for the people that paid a good amount of money to have their party here. I would never go back here or recommend anyone else going.
