I have been here several times and always had a great meal . This was no exception. I ordered the 8 oz Prime grade Filet Mignon . I asked for it to be done Chicago style and it came out perfectly cooked . Probably the best steak I've had in years , and the Lobster & Crab Bisque was equally delicious. Excellent meal and great service

I was so looking forward to celebrating my birthday at Connors. I told my friends we had gone a few times before and I had hoped to have a good prime rib fir my celebratory dinner. The evening started okay. There was a nice card at my table and the server wished me happy birthday. I believe he also gave me two additional ounces of wine. It was a crowded evening for a Tuesday, and we waited a while to place our order. I had two friends join us and we engaged in conversation so it was fine. One ordered the deviled eggs as an appetizer. They were delicious. Our salads came, and they were fine. However, when the expediter brought our meals I saw immediately that my prime rib, which I ordered medium, was extremely bloody. Since I was on the inside of the booth, both my husband and friend tried to get our server’s attention. I told the rest of my party to please eat. My friend finally asked a busboy to find our server. It was at least 15 minutes before our server returned. By then, the rest of my party was almost done with their meals. He saw the cut, apologized immediately and took it back to the kitchen. The manager brought me another prime rib about five minutes later. It was still very rare, but I took it as my party had finished eating. It was rather fatty and honestly not very good. I ate some of it but took the rest home. We ordered the strawberry shortcake for my birthday dessert. I assume we weren’t charged for that. It was ok. But the whole experience was very disappointing. The tables were so close together, the server had to move to let people by while trying to explain specials and take our order. I didn’t want to make a stink about the evening in front of my friends and husband because I enjoyed our time together. But spending around $100 just for the two of us was an awful lot to pay for a less than satisfactory birthday meal. I would have appreciated if the manager had offered to at least comp my meal. Unfortunately, I don’t think we will be going back.

A couple years ago I would’ve given this place a five star however overtime the food quality has slightly decreased. I have ordered well done and gotten bloody steak and the portions got smaller while the prices went up. The service is always great. The place is very clean and well-maintained. They stay on top of your drinks and replacing things that need to be replaced.

Honestly, this is why I never go to chain restaurants. We walked in and the interior was very nice and so I did have high expectations, but other than that, every other aspect was sub-par at best. The service was okay, when our server was there he was pleasant but we definitely spent more time than normal waiting to order and for our dishes to be cleared, and there were just a lot of touches missing that you normally see at a nicer restaurant. I ordered one of their cocktails, I don’t remember the name but it was a gin drink with lemon and some sort of berry. It was so sugary and tasted like a smarty, I couldn’t even finish it. Our appetizer was the lobster dip which was okay, and our wedge salads were probably the only part we actually really enjoyed. My husband ordered the halibut which he said was good, but the sides for both of our entrees reminded me of something you would get in the freezer section and throw in the microwave. The worst part was definitely my Chilean sea bass, it was rubbery on the outside, and mushy on the inside. I probably didn’t eat more than half of it. We fully intended on ordering another drink and dessert but by the time we finished our meals we just wanted to get out of there and forget we just spent almost $200 on the most subpar meal we’ve had at what is supposed to be a nice restaurant.

Went for lunch, and ordered a calamari for appetizer, and a Hiatus tequela which was on shelf but because they didn't have a tap on the computer they decided without asking to serve me Avion because it was the same price. As an investor and co founder's father I have decided to take Conner's to task financially. You will hear from my attorneys in due course. You will learn you should never give a customer your problems as it gets very expensive. This is no threat as amateurs make threats .

Such a great experience! The atmosphere was loud but cozy so still relaxing and enjoyable. Our server was Tony and he was extremely pleasant and kind. He had great recommendations but was not overbearing whatsoever. Our food was top notch. Huge portions for the price. Salads were incredible! The pesto butter with the sourdough rolls- OMG to die for! My fiance's steak was cooked medium to perfection!!! Flavor was incredible!!!! Highly highly recommend! I encourage making a reservation - we made one same day and got right in!

This is one of my favorite restaurants, and my husband likes it very much, as well. We have been here three times, and the food is always delicious. Their lunch menu is so reasonably priced and gives you lots of options. My favorite is the mashed potatoes. ? The service is excellent. Each time, we had someone different, and you could tell that all of them cared about doing a good job and making sure that we were happy. It is a lovely, pretty atmosphere that I really enjoy dining in. I am so happy to have a Conners near me.

This was a 5-star experience HOWEVER if you have a gluten allergy, you need to be 100% sure the items from their menu noted as GF are delivered 100% gluten free. The tuna stack appetizer is noted on the menu as GF but it arrives at the table with the sesame wontons that are NOT GF. This could send someone with a GF allergy to the emergency room. Even if you note the wontons are not GF, do not deliver them to the table to someone with an allergy. Many restaurants have their manager deliver GF items. Might want to consider this. Restaurants who do this right will not deliver items with Gluten to someone who has ordered a GF item and noted they have an allergy. Gluten for someone with a severe allergy can send them directly to the emergency room.This being said, our server was exceptional, and the food and wine was exceptional. We enjoy Connors and will be back and will be again very careful with what we order. If you have a food allergy, ask your questions. Be clear.
