No. The steak was nothing to write home about. It was not seasoned, over cooked, slightly tough and just didn't have any flavor to it.
Some places will only cook cuts of meat like that to a certain temperature like medium or medium rare. That's what I assumed when he failed to ask how I preferred my steak.
Edit: Another thing that bugs me is: We used to love eating out at restaurants. There was a few that knew us so well, they had out cocktail orders in before we even sat down. But now, I'm trigger shy trying new places. I have completely lost any faith in dining out, and actually am prepared to get bad results next time.
Jeeks.... come on up north and I'll show you a couple of consistently wonderful places -- both in Jersey City and Manhattan....
We'll see. Next time I'll limit my grape juice intake. 
They know how to cook.
I religiously watch Colameco. I really need to try out Craft Steak.
The town I'm in has a bunch of "yuppie wannabe hip" restaurants. And they just vacuum! I actually sent a shrimp cocktail back once. LOL, do you believe that? Shrimp Cocktail! I have a laundry list of horrible establishments.
I just heard a commercial on the radio for a new Italian place over in Rumson. Evidently, they make their own fresh pastas daily.
Either way, I'm not seeing any advertisements that look like the restaurant is that into their cooking. So I'm curious about that one. And believe you me, you ain't passing of dried pasta as fresh with me.
I was actually very pleased with this restaraunt. I brought DW and her friend there a coupla years ago. Turned me on to mint pea soup in the spring and summer and showed me how well a red pepper and lamb go together. I tried my hardest to get the waiter to crack a smile.
Do you mean Colicchio ?
Why would you want to eat at a place where the chef is more entertaining and less of a cook?
