"I wrote a glowing review of this Golf Course restaurant just a year ago. I’ve since used it only for a quick “at the turn” eatery until last night. July 15th. I’m sorry to say that the 5 star plus rating of last year is merely a 3 for dining today. For starters the menu on the web site does not exist. Gone are the fine entrees from a year ago. No sirloin, short ribs, scallops, BBQ Ribs. Selections are just about what you’ll find in your neighborhood sports bar. The difference between the two are the number of tv screens you’ll be forced to contend with. Burgers are now a broader selection item on the menu. Gone, too, are the great Lobster Tots and in their place are garlicky fried potato cubes with a dash of parmigiana cheese. My wife had the fish and chips and got three pieces of frozen breaded cod that looked like they came from the near by Costco freezer section. Not at all fresh fish. I had chicken parmigiana which was one piece of chicken fried to near perfect shoe leather quality and linguine with a mild sauce that came in a small oval serving dish. Definitely more a lunch size portion in any of the near by quality restaurants in Westlake or even Elyria. Prices for most entrees were in the $18-$24 range. One perk was my tangeray and tonic came in a 10 once drinking glass and the bar tender was generous in his pour. Definitely not the high quality of just 11 months ago (dinner wise) and I won’t be back for dinner or for a quick stop while playing a round of golf. Don’t know why the restaurant has gone this route and my questions couldn’t be answered by my friendly and capable server , Rick, nor from the hostess. It’s a shame the restaurant industry has fallen off as much as it has. I’ll go out of my way to visit a good establishment with decent atmosphere. Such as Burntwood Tavern on Columbia Rd. In North Olmsted. It will be a while before we give Black River Tavern another try . David B Avon OH"

"At the beginning, I usually love to go to cups when I come home to visit my family in Arkansas. It's one of my favorite places to do my job and work. After today's experience with the male employee with long brown hair, I will definitely never return. When I first went to the counter, I felt an immediate hostility from this employee. He was short and rude. I asked his opinion on one of the case specialists and he laughed only about me how stupid I was because he even asked his opinion. Then I went on to order a Bacon, Egg, Gouda Bagel, but I asked if there was anyway the bagel without bacon and egg because of some of my nutritional restrictions. I even offered to order something else if it was too complicated. He pretended this was the dumbest job he had ever received in his life. As if the concept of cheese and bread could be so strange, even concept? I even tipped the man 20% because I knew I was asking for a special order. After checking out, I asked him where I could find the poster for the Wifi and his answer was that I don't know it somewhere over there. The password is literally a word. I would have taken him two seconds to have some kind of customer service, to lead me to a sign or just to say the password. When I got my bagel, attached to it was a cook 's note that reading Bagel w/ Gouda (I know lol) . I approached the man before leaving and told him that next time he wanted to be rude to his customers, he should at least try to make it a little less obvious. Needless to say, the man had chosen very little social skills to be released because absolutely nothing. This definitely won't return. But the young girl's staff was an absolute jewel very sweet!"
