First...the restaurant itself is very nice but stupidly designed??
We were in a room which was very dark with no candles. When we arrived it was ok, they somehow dimmed it when we were ordering dinner...so we asked to have the lights turn back up because you literally couldn't see anything. The manager told us that the whole restaurant is on 1 circuit and if they turn it up, all the lights in the restaurant will turn up too. WTF? my bedroom has a auto dimming light switch! It sounded BS to me but he did give us these fake (LED) candles which was pretty much useless
The Food:
I ordered a medium rear sirloin but it came out more medium...it was very chewy
The waitress was nice and offered to have it remade for me and the 2nd time they got it right but the meat was still pretty tough.
My buddies prime rib was a bit on the fat side as well. This is my 4th time there and every time, the food was just so so. The quality is below average and not worth the price in my opinion
Also, another minor complaint is the plates the prime rib comes in. They have deep ridges so when you're cutting the meat, its hard not to make a loud grinding sound. Not the brightest idea in my opinion.

When you say your order was remade the second time "they got it right but the meat was still pretty tough" that means it wasn't done right; I feel it is our the kitchens duty to please every customer, so feel free to re-send it back again until it is done to your liking. As for your friends fatty piece of prime rib, you could ask to redo it with a leaner piece. Sorry if you feel the quality is below average, but I believe this restaurant has held its reputation as being pretty high-end, otherwise it would not be the restaurant for Sandman Signature Hotels.
Anyways, like i said before, the restaurant is under new management and things are done differently, feel free to come back and enjoy a meal that's nothing short of excellence.
P.S. Those plates -are- kind of funky, but i cant do anything about that lol
