"My wife and I visited this restaurant for dinner to evaluate it as a potential venue for a bridal shower. We hoped to get a feel for the place beforehand. Upon arrival, we were seated promptly, but we ended up waiting 15 minutes for our waitress to take our drink orders. When she finally returned, we ordered an appetizer along with our main courses. Despite the dining room being nearly empty, we had to wait a long time for our food to arrive. She brought our salads first, and after another lengthy wait, we finally received our main courses. Unfortunately, our appetizer never made it to our table. When I brought this to the waitress's attention, she suggested that perhaps it had been delivered to another table, explaining that a large party was occupying another section of the restaurant and that the kitchen was overwhelmed. She reassured us that we wouldn’t be charged for the appetizer we never received. What a nice gesture. After finishing our main courses, we again waited quite a while for the check. Throughout the meal, we were not offered refills on our drinks nor asked if we wanted dessert. As a result, we will definitely not be booking a room for the bridal shower, and it's very unlikely that I'll return for another meal. The food was mediocre at best. In our 35 years of marriage, it was the first time I saw my wife add salt to her food, as she felt it needed some flavor. To be fair, when I spoke with the manager about our disappointing experience, he offered to cover the bill, though that wasn’t my intention for the conversation, and I declined his courteous offer. If I could rate the service zero stars, I certainly would."
