"Celebrating my fiancés birthday with another couple. Upon our reservation we were taken to sit in the entry way of the restaurant. I asked the hostess to be seated in the main restaurant and was told there is no availability only for large groups (there were tables set up for persons) she then said we welcomed to seat outside in the garden then later returned to say that was booked. I began to feel we were being discriminated against so I asked for the manager. She then said well to seat inside will have a spending minimum per person, and the only place my party (with reservations) can seat is at the entry way by the host booth. there were so many versions to her story. I demanded a manager! After of BS an discriminatory treatment the manager arrives and seats us in the main restaurant, you know the same area that was for “large parties oh I meant with a minimum purchase per person) Now, the service was poor tho the waiter was respectful. He wasn’t aware of the menu (very small) not able to make any recommendations without checking with some else or reading the menu to us, we can do that ourselves. He wasn’t attentive to our table. As for the food and drinks, the bartender was excellent (clearly we needed great drinks after all this mess). If anyone deserved a tip or service charge would’ve been the bartender As for the food, the chef did a good job with preparation, the issue is the portions are small and the sides are very, very limited! Choice of broccoli or asparagus with steak no starch! As for the dessert, I reserved as a birthday celebration and that I would have wanted a nice dessert option. When I first arrived, before the seating BS, the host told me to let my server know which dessert pie or cake I wanted and they’ll bring it out with sparkles to sing happy birthday. The server told me that all they had was Greek ice cream Poor service, lack of professionalism, over-priced small menu!"

"We finally stopped in to try their food (well, we did have their brisket dinner for a VFW event and it was wonderful). I am all about getting your money 's worth , but it also has to be great. We started off with fried mushrooms and spicy fried pickles. The mushrooms were really good, but the spicy pickles were out of this world! They were a lot of fun to eat. They are not necessarily spears either...more like fries. Word of warning...if you get these for yourself, choose your main course wisely as there are a LOT of pickle fries. Before I get to what I ordered for my meal, I would like to point out that service is just as important, if not more so, as the food. Sarah was our server. As I was not familiar with their food I had a lot of questions and Sarah had a lot of answers...great answers. Ever have one of those servers that knows the perfect balance of being attentive but not annoying? I know it hardly ever happens, but Sarah is one of those. She was awesome! Okay, for the main meal. Gina had a double cheeseburger and I had the nachos. The burger was huge, Gina said she probably have had the single. The nachos were freaking ridiculous! and delicious! I will have to admit, they are not afraid of piling on the toppings. The meat actually had great flavor as opposed to the typical 1/2 teaspoon of unseasoned ground beef, and a lot of it. Needless to say, I came nowhere close to finishing off my food. I look forward to my next food adventure with them. Thank you for a great meal."
