    Worst Service and Worse Yet Manager

    • Your Rating: 0/5 Stars
    • Average Rating: 2.0/5 Stars

    Went with a friend for dinner. Had a series of clueless waiters and waitresses alternating service at the table. No one knew what the other was doing, or not doing. Fish was not done as requested, and then they blamed the chef (although they had not passed along cooking instructions). Service was terrible, and then the manager became angry because we complained. Find another place, ANY OTHER PLACE, for dinner.

    Great Food

    Everything I have ordered there is delicious. I love the atmosphere. There can be a wait getting in (isn't that a good sign?). It has become one of my all time favorite restaurants. I highly recommend giving it a try. Some complain about feeling "rushed". I did not find that to be the case.

    I love the ribeye and this place. However, if you would like to feel RUSHED and HURRIED this is place. Starts by standing around the bar trying to get a cocktail while waiting for a table. Spend $100 at the bar - just to get rushed out the door after you order! Not the best in town! Not even close. Sorry. Think fancy Outback/Woodranch

    Almost a perfect 10

    We went for a festive evening with another couple. We loved the layout of the restaurant and the drinks from the bar were terrific. We were seated right at our reservation time and the service was fantastic...until the very end. Even though we had ordered alcohol, appetizers and dessert, they rushed us at the end by clearing away everything from the table while we were still talking. The waiter was tipped at 30%...how much more did he want? I read another review that talked about hustling people to turn the tables. It's true. Other than that, it was a wonderful evening.

    Best restaurant in town...

    • Your Rating: 0/5 Stars

    I think this is the best restaurant in town. Whenever I think of a great place to go this is the first place that comes to mind. Prices are not cheap, but they're not unreasonable either. Everything is so good, you must have every course. There's only two desserts on the menu but you'll regret it if you don't try the banana cream pie. Outstanding.
    The only bad thing about this place is a lot of other people know about it too! Get there early if you plan to have dinner on a weekend night.
