"The service was great, waitresses were attentive, funny, patient, kind, great with kids! But the food... I don't know. To start, the water was horrible tasting, our toddlers wouldn't even drink it, ive never had that happen with water before lol! They probably should invest in a water purifier considering the revenue they are bringing in. The salad I got as a side was partially rotten, soggy, not crunchy, some pieces were completely rotten and slimy, falling apart, it was pre bagged and left open for I don't know how long, it didn't seem cold either. The carrots were wilted and turning brown. It wasn't safe, and puts people who are immune compromised(older, pregnant, cancer treatment, ect) at risk of serious illness. The burgers were amazing, SOOOO good, lettuce and tomatoes fresh, flavor incredible, but they weren't fully cooked. They were pink inside, which I was okay with, but not what I asked for. Again, just like before, this is a serious risk for elderly people or people who are immune compromised. I am not impressed and I'm borderline concerned about the competency of the cooks feeling comfortable serving food like this. I am not a picky person, but when I'm spending money to eat at a restaurant, i do expect basic fresh food and food fully cooked like requested. It didn't feel exactly clean and the lay out was confusing, multiple registers and booths, it didn't make sense. Thankful for the great service we got though, I didn't complain to our waitress because it's really not her problem the place she works has low standards. She, and the other waitresses were on top of their tasks and we didn't want to disturb them, they were great!"

"While the hardcover has some nice dishes, it lacks the basic consistency that would make it a solid 4 star restaurant. Firstly, service was good- our waiter was nice and prompt, and the staff seemed friendly. The location itself inside the restaurant is a bit cramped but cozy. Its definitely loud inside at busy times. The salad bar and bread in my opinion are underwhelming for a restaurant of this price range. While the self serve style is in theory a nice idea, it reminded me a lot of the corner of my college dining hall (nothing against salad bars, I just think they could do something more with it). I wish the bread was warmer or toasted or something. The beef Wellington was very good. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare, flavorful and perfectly sized. For people specifically looking for a wellington I would recommend this place. The teriyaki steak is also good. Sadly, while the baked chicken was good, the linguini served it had too much pasta and too little sauce. This made it a chore to eat (though the asparagus and mushroom paired well). The salmon was sort of bland-i’d like to say good meat will stand on its own but it appeared to be “seasoned with air”. Not tragic but not inspiring. The baked haddock was nice. I understand the value of simplicity but the boiled vegetables and baked potatoes weren’t really doing it for me at this price of restaurant. I understand this isnt quite fine dining, but I would expect some more consistency and refinement for this type of restaurant. I was happy about the beef wellington though!"
