"My girlfriend and I had a great experience at Taphouse Grille in Wayne. We went for appetizers/drinks in mid-January after the holiday rush had finally subsided. We were immediately greeted by the hostess and once again by the bartender when approaching the bar. After looking at the drink menu, we were greeted by a manager. Taphouse Grille is under new ownership and the entire team was incredibly friendly. They happened to be doing a sampling for new ideas for appetizers and cocktails and we were encouraged to try and give our thoughts. The management team was extremely receptive and eager to hear our feedback and everything was delicious. It was great to see that they are interested in creating a balance in offering some new options as well as keeping the menu largely the same to draw new customers and keep their regulars happy. In contrast to other reviews I've seen, the prices on the menu seem the same. I felt that there was good value at the prices listed and the portion amounts were perfect. All drinks and appetizers that we had tried were delicious! We literally could not stop eating the bacon wrapped jalapenos stuffed with fig and goat cheese. They also had a bourbon honey glaze and this combo was incredible. Definitely get these when you visit! We also ordered a pizza and it was cooked perfectly. Even after the sampling of food and pizza, I found myself eager to try more food! I'm happy to see that Taphouse Grille is in good hands with the new owners and look forward to coming back again soon."

"Sad to say that we were disappointed by hortus. Had a reservation at 9.15pm for dinner received a text reminder informing us of need to be prompt in our arrival and ordering as it was the last booking slot. We were again reminded of this by the host on arrival. All of this is fine and understandable, however we felt extremely rushed bordering on uncomfortably unwelcome the whole time. no time allowed to read menu before being asked for food order despite fiddly and unintuitive online menu format food arrived considerably before drinks had to order dessert, if we wanted it, before we had even finished our appetisers! Isn’t it possible for kitchen to stay open for dessert for existing customers? I know this is the case at other venues worst of all, the mains arrived before we had even finished the appetisers or had had our plates cleared away! So there was no room for the food on the table and the server looked very confused when we asked if it were possible for us to have the food sent back until we had finished appetisers and had our plates cleared. They eventually did this but did not seem to understand our frustration. Overall disappointed by service. The food was yummy, although the fluke was extremely acidic and the vegetables with the short rib were a bit bland, so on the whole it did not compensate for poor service. I do completely sympathise with the desire of servers to keep the late seatings short, but if it is at such significant detriment to the customer experience, then you simply shouldn’t accept bookings that late!"
