"UPDATE Was personally contacted regarding my unpleasant visit (see below), by ownership via messenger and phone. I received sincere apologies and was graciously invited back. Reserved table and all. We were treated very well and everything was GREAT. Overall this experience is one out of many where the customer is treated with value and I can't thank you all enough. To add, this visit happened to also be my mate's birthday and we had a great time thanks to the staff at The Light Horse. See you guys sometime soon!! Original Review My girlfriend and I tried The Light Horse recently, during restaurant week 2022. Nice setup and things were going smooth...until a hair was found in the appetizer. Bothered by that I mentioned it to the server and he told the bartender. I was more disturbed that I didn't notice immediately. I was told no manager was available and the not much could be done at the moment. At that time the bartender offered to refill our mixed drinks...I said that's fine. We go on to continue our dinner and dessert. I tried the cheesecake. After 1-2 bites I look close....and another hair was found. I stopped immediately and called the bartender, who was serving us at the time. He apologized and offered contact info so that I could speak with an owner or manager. He brought the bill then explaining that only 1 of the 2 drink refills he offered would be on the house. I didn't request it...he offered when the 1st hair was found...to then charge me for it. I sent a message via FB chat and I called a few times only to be hung up on every time. Not such a good time but I believe it will get better. Hopefully someone calls me soon. I paid my bill though I thoroughly was disappointed and dissatisfied."

"Great food and a lovely outdoor atmosphere. However, I would never dine here after the service my 77 year old grandma and I received. Believe me, for me to write a poor review you would of had to do something egregious. With it being our first time, I was captivated by the rooftop patio setting. We decided to sit up there and the hostess let us know our male server will be up shortly.Our server is a shorter guy, nothing wrong with that. However, he was rude from the start. We never knew his name, and there was no effort to be kind. I do not know if he was even a server or a cook. He repetitively asked us what we wanted to drink in an attempt to rush us. Drinks, drinks? I get it, he was upset we were the only people up there (which there was one other guy, but I guess he left by the time we got up there). I could tell in his tone of voice he never wanted to deal with us. Just say the upper patio is closed, that 's all.He brings our pre-made margarita mix drinks rather quickly. For some reason he puts my grandmother 's drink across the table away from her instead of anywhere near her. His tone of voice and body language was rude again when it came to asked for our food orders. I let him know we would like the double fajita skillet (I forgot the name, it comes with shrimp, chorizo, chicken, and steak for $31). The paradilla skillet I believe.It came out within under 10 minutes, which was quite impressive. Great portions and well-made. However, our server 's attitude made us feel like we did not belong there. He brought up a to-go box to us without us asking, and rushed us in regards to the tab (check). Ready to pay, ready to pay? We had to scramble up with a credit card in the middle of eating which is rude.The person who came up with the check was not even him, yet it was the hostess as he sensed how upset we were with his service.As much as I liked the food, I would absolutely never come back here because the hospitality is horrendous. The lime margaritas are also pre-mixed as you can tell by the color and flavor (if you like that)."
