"First, let me say the wine club seems like a good deal if you eat here at least once per month and like wine with your meal. They were including many free bottles of wine when they offered it to us, but we declined. We had a reservation for an early lunch and arrived on time. The restaurant was pretty much empty when we arrived, but they made us wait and seated two other parties before us even though we were there first. Then they seated us at a small booth for two. Shortly after that, they put a large party of 10 at a long table perpendicular to us. As I said, the restaurant was fairly empty. Half of the other party were kids between about 2 and 9 and all the kids were seated right beside our booth about 3 feet away. The kids, especially the two year old with a high-pitched scream, were so loud it hurt my ears. When the waitress arrived, I politely asked her a question about one of the dishes and she snapped at me for no reason. Later, she was overly friendly, probably because she realized she had been rude and wanted a tip, which she did receive. The food was fine and the portions good, though the quality has gone down hill in the last year or two as prices have risen. For example, the betty's potatoes used to be a favorite but now are just a small amount of soggy shredded potatoes swimming in a bowlful of a thin, copious sauce of questionable origin. It is mainly sauce and very little potatoes, so is not pleasant to try to eat. How can a sauce cost a restaurant less than shredded potatoes? It would be easy to improve with a little effort. I will not be ordering that again and am less inclined to eat here because of the quality differences which could just be due to the chef. We are already staying home more to be able to eat organic, GMO-free food anyway. Now if they would offer organic options or wild, I would definitely be back."
