"I rented the Rabbit Hole for my husband’s 80th birthday on Saturday January 20th 2024.Let me start by saying this is the classiest and most beautiful venue in the area. We attended a comedy show there in November and couldn’t believe something this nice was so close to us. I just knew my husband’s party would have to be held there.Chef Matt was very helpful in the planning and food choices for my 30 guests. He said the cost would include a bartender and a server. I voiced concern about the bar because, at the event in November, the bar was not stocked, the bartender was continually going to the restaurant side to retrieve vermouth, cherries, and other items. People waited long periods of time to even order drinks. Matt assured me that would not happen.Well, after arriving at 6 the bartender was placing water glasses on the tables. My friend was at the bar, ordered first and received a drink at 6:25. My husband and I must have waited 20 minutes for 2 vodka sodas and 2 manhattans. And the bartender brought them over on a tray from the restaurant bar.Other guests waited 40 minutes for a drink. Every time I looked there was no one behind the bar. I went into the restaurant and asked for the manager. Dylan was behind the bar working. I said I need a bartender in the other bar for my party. He said someone called in sick. That’s unfortunate but was not my problem.He sent the bartender back who obviously didn’t have an open cash draw. He had to start tabs by writing on a pad. Meanwhile, the apps came out right on time but most people didn’t eat. They were still waiting to order a drink.Then, the bartender started serving Caesar salad to the tables. Where was the server that I was supposed to have?Entrees came out right on time. Hot and delicious.After dinner I started bussing tables and a few guests helped. There was no way the bartender was going to be able to clear before desert.As the night went on our daughter asked for 5 shots of fireball. Bartender went to restaurant bar to get shot glasses. He said “ for all your trouble, these are on the house. And keep the rest.” There was a little more in the bottle. So we said we’ll have more shots. Again he had to go over and get more shot glasses.Unfortunately at the end of the night he charged for the shots.So, exactly what I was worried about came to be. People waiting too long for drinks, a bar that wasn’t stocked, and a bartender missing in action.I am not criticizing the help you have. They were working very hard. And I would have had more understanding about a sick call if the exact thing hadn’t happened at the last event I attended. This is unacceptable. I have been to the busiest bars in the area and have never waited longer than a couple of minutes for my drink order.I did not get what I paid for. My anxiety level was thru the roof making it very hard to enjoy the evening.I very much hope the Rabbit Hole is successful. But if this is the way it’s run I think reviews and word if mouth might lead to its demise.I would appreciate talking about this with you further.After sending this, I was told the owner or manager would be in touch. I have heard nothing.Parking: Easy"

"I recently visited The Sun Dial for a business dinner with clients, hoping for a great experience given the stunning views. Despite reading some negative reviews, I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing. From the start, we were seated in an unwelcoming manner. When I requested a table with a better view, the host seemed annoyed, even though the place was empty. Our waiter took an unreasonably long time to take our food order after we placed our drink order, and the cocktails we received were poorly made. I had to return mine and opted for wine instead. Things didn't improve with the appetizers. The waiter didn’t place the order for one of them, so we were left waiting after finishing the first appetizer. While the apps were good, the main courses were a disaster. The lamb chops were tiny, dry, and overcooked. My clients ordered filet mignon which was also overcooked. After dessert, when I asked for the check, I noticed they had charged me for the cocktail I had returned. I provided two credit cards for payment, but the waiter returned with only one. My work credit card had vanished. Despite my insistence and my clients backing me up, the waiter and manager Julian claimed they couldn't find it. The waiter even tried to blame me for not telling him there were 2 card’s while he dropped the other card on the floor in front of us. I had to use Apple Pay to settle the bill and left because we had other events to attend. The next Night, when I was already back home, the manager called to say they had found the card by the credit card machine in the kitchen. She suggested I pick it up, despite knowing I didn't live locally. When I asked for it to be mailed, she said security wouldn't ship it and that I had to contact them directly. This response was unacceptable, especially after the embarrassment and inconvenience caused. I requested to speak with her director, but I haven't heard back from anyone yet. Do not go here."
