"The server/bartender NIE ran each of our foods that she secretes behind the bar with another server during the entire visit. She ignored us, several times I made eye contact to get another drink or let them know we needed something. She smiled simply and broke eye contact and continued her social conversations. I stress the importance of this because I felt totally ignored, drinks lasted more than 5 minutes, our appetizer was delayed by more than 5 unnecessary minutes (based on a normal 10 12min delivery expectation, based on how slow service was and how many servers stood around chatting), and our Entrees lasted more than 20 minutes from the time we ordered to be placed on the table, and all that we ordered was a flat medium. There was absolutely no reason for the delays we experienced except the inattentiveness of the bartender, which made it clear that customers were NOT their priority. Again, no managers were seen to run the dining rooms or to deal with customers. There was a guy who looked like a manager who came behind the bar to count things on a chart, but he didn't make any sense to the service his staff had provided to his guests. After I let the server know that I was annoyed with the food, delayed, and their service felt like it was missing, only then appeared a manager: Kyle, the chef who came out of the poor, expected to deal with some cranky customers (yes, that's the attitude I felt from this child), and listen to me complain about whatever. I tried to explain to him that I felt as if the food was dry not the kitchen 's fault that the bartender was socializing and ignored the entire visit. His answer: Well, I can't do anything about it now while everyone works, I can't embarrass them. I told him I understand, but since he was there, I let him know what's going on, because he offered to remake the food. I refused. They removed the wrong meal, but did not try to solve any of the other problems"

"My in-laws were in town from Texas and was hungry after flying all day. I typically get okay food here and wanted somewhere close to home since it was 7 and we have a toddler. This was the first time they actually found my name and checked us in on opentable. We were however told that we would need to wait because we had five people ahead of us. Again, what is the purpose of making a reservation if you have to wait 20-60 minutes. This has happened in the past. Our waitress Carol was SUPER SUPER AMAZING. This was no fault to her. This was the kitchen. We were patient and even my toddler who isn’t even two yet was well behaved. Received our appetizer it looked like a pile of BLAH. We had the Ahi Poke, it literally looked like something pre-made and yanked out the fridge. Waited awhile, an hour went by after getting our appetizer. Three of us received our dishes. Mine and my mother in laws was cold...all of it. How is that when our plates were hot? My husbands burger was hot, his fries super cold. Father in laws sandwich he did the roast beef dip, fries hot sandwich looked like it had been sitting for awhile and was really dry. Daughters Mac n cheese which why would you make a kids dish last...was actually hot and okay. Carol was even kind enough to bring her some fruit and a knot. She asked if we would like something else, we at first wanted to know the eta...said it would take another 20-30 minutes. So she asked if we would like a soup or salad. We both got soups, one got clam chowder, I got broccoli and cheese. Hers was okay, mine looked soooo gross!!! I’ve never seen brown broccoli cheese...over cooked perhaps? Those we had to wait for awhile as well. We picked those because by the time all this was going on, we were ready to just go. She was kind and brought us some bazookies, those were good but we really just wanted to go but she insisted. Like I said, our waitress was amazing! The cook staff needs or needed a lot of help!"
