"Food: the portions were great, but the below average quality leaves you wondering how they can charge so much. The fish appears frozen and unthawed prior to frying. It consisted of four, square, nuggets of fish, a handful of fries for $17.99. The cup of chili screams mid bland, plain (no cheese, onions, hot sauce... nothing), $5.45 cup, room temperature. The black and bleu burger was really good, but chips are served with it and cannot be substituted. The nachos were six decent sized chips, cheese, tomatoes, and jalapenos with chili, sour cream, and salsa on the side. These were fairly good, but extremely anemic for a $14.99 appetizer. The cole slaw tasted more like fish than the actual fish. It was inedible. I believe the spotlight was on the turkey club that was actually very good, and portioned and priced fairly. Service: Umm... what service? We waited while the people that came in after us were served before we were even approached all after being seated. The silverware was dirty, and a menu had blood on it. The server was very friendly after she got to us. Atmosphere: this seems good, but when three people are having an $87 lunch that was worth $50, tops, it's very hard to enjoy the place you are sitting. The prices are on the menu, and I'm not upset about the money. I'm upset that I'm paying Texas Roadhouse prices for Taco Bell quality food. After tip, this was over $30 per person. This was one of my wife's favorite childhood restaurants, and she's complained since sitting down. I do not believe that we will return for a VERY long time.

"We waited about 15 minutes before our waiter approached us to take our drink order, and that was only after we had to flag down another waiter for assistance. When it came time to order food, we noticed that the party seated after us was served first because their waiter attended to them right away. We also had to wave down our waiter to get the check at the end of the meal. He brought it to us, and as I was getting my credit card out, he said he would be right back. However, 10 minutes passed with my card still sitting on the table while our waiter kept strolling by, ignoring us. Other waitstaff shot us sympathetic looks because we were clearly upset at that point. Eventually, we spotted our waiter joking around at the host stand and dancing with one of the hosts. Frustrated, we approached the host stand and asked to cash out there, only to be told no. After we pointed out that our waiter was right behind her, she finally got his attention, and we were able to settle the bill and leave. I rarely write negative reviews, but this experience was truly astonishing. It was a Monday afternoon, and the restaurant wasn't very busy at all. The food itself was excellent—I had the wings as an appetizer and the burger was also very good. However, I can't say that the quality of the food is enough to make me want to return. I'm really torn on how to rate this place."
