Quinn's "3rd time wasn't the charm - thumbs down." May 14, 2008 - I give restaurants three chances.  Then wait 6 months and hope it improves.  I want to like Quinn's.  I WANT TO LOVE QUINNS.  It's freakin' cute and so close.  It has the potential to be so much better than it actually is.   Here's what happened. The First time I ordered the hanger steak, my boyfriend ordered the tuna and we shared a few other munchies on the menu at the time.  To put it simple:  my steak was cold and the tuna was over cooked and hot.  HOT TUNA???  We all know that is no good. Second time we went to sit at the bar around midnight, to get whiskey cocktails and split a burger.  The burger and fries were good and a perfect split for the two of us, but when we asked for the check, we realized that we hadn't been charged the price of our well cocktails:  whiskey ginger and whiskey coke.  Our drinks were more than prices we had paid the previous time.  I asked the bartender if they had changed prices (no biggie, just curious) and he very rudely responds by saying, "I served you Maker's because that's the whiskey I like better, and it's the well whiskey at the W". Then he turns around and grabs $3 out of the register and says, "Here's the difference" and throws the money on the bar!  WHAT THE HECK!?  Ok.  I DON'T WANT YOUR THREE DOLLARS!  I just wanted your well JIM BEAM whiskey.  Jim Beam is fine with me. Third time we went back and because the burger was good we decided to get them again.  (BIG GOURMET BURGER FAN).  My boyfriend orders his medium-rare and I get mine medium.  When they come out, I cut mine in half to notice that there is literally raw cow flesh falling out of my burger.  It isn't even rare; it's just about raw.  The server was really nice about it and of course took it off the bill and said that she hoped we'd come back again. I'll go back in 6 months and hope that it's better. I don't know if it's bad management and leadership running the restaurant or what.   I've met the chef and he seems amazing and like he has a clear vision of what this place should be... but somewhere between him and his people, there is a lot getting lost in translation. 4 people like this review - Recommend
