"I'm really only giving Fountainhead three stars due to a decent experience downstairs. Upstairs probably deserves a one or two star rating. We came to Fountainhead on a whim as it was on of the first nice days in a while. We were quoted a 1 hour wait for the rooftop, which was expected, given the fact that it was dinner time and a beautiful night. We decided to get an appetizer and a drink downstairs during the wait. We were seated at the bar and both bartenders were fantastic! They were attentive to our needs and were friendly. We went with the cheese curds, which was probably the best thing I ate that night. Lucky for us, the one hour wait ended up being more like 35 minutes. This is where the night took a turn for the worse. The other reviews were spot on that the service on the rooftop was HORRIBLE. Literally some of the worst I have seen. It took almost 20 min to order and get our first drink (I ordered a vodka/soda and my husband a beer). The waitress didn't even take our food order after she dropped our drinks off. Another 20 minutes later, we managed to place our order. I got the fried chicken and my husband ordered the shrimp roll. The food took another 30 or 40 minutes before we finally received it. You could tell it was ready a while before it was dropped at the table because it was already cold when we got it. The chicken was average at best and the Mac and cheese was flavorless. It took us another 30 minutes to flag our waitress for a second drink and our check. She eventually dropped both off but then never came by to cash us out. I think after 20 minutes of waiting, we finally gave up and walked to the bar to pay our tab. She did finally stop by to ask us how we were doing, but never once apologized for the wait. If we come back here, I really hope it's not the same experience."

"The food was delicious. I got the Queenstown Farmer, with fried chicken as the meat option. It was so delicious. It came with 3 eggs- perfectly cooked, as I requested which was over-easy. It also came with a lovely buttered toast and some amazing strawberry jam. The wonderful thing about the strawberry jam is it seemed to pair nicely with both the chicken and the toast. What resulted was a lovely little assortment and combination of pairings. Sometimes it was the chicken and egg on toast. Sometimes it was chicken and toast with jam. It was a lovely setting, and they had heaters ready to go for a chilly day. I did spy a biscuit which I thought about buying as an addition to my meal. It was absolutely huge and fluffy and looked to come with that same strawberry jam. Ultimately, I am glad I didn't get it, as I wound up stuffed. My only ding was....the meal came with beans which I didn't want. So, I ordered it without them. It would have been extra-nice if the server had offered to bring extra toast or bring something else instead. That would have been a great touch. Now...I didn't want to be fussy or high-maintenance or anything, so I didn't specifically request anything extra. My attitude was that I would not order the beans, and if they offered something else, great...I'll take it. If not...fine. I wouldn't hesitate to come here again, or maybe try lunch next time."
