"We decided to spend Memorial Day Weekend in Clear Lake California. It was a Friday evening We arrived here at 6:30PM it was very quiet in the restaurant (didn 't see anyone in this area but we heard a lot of music and singing in the bar. Looked like Karaoke. When we walked into the bar through the other glass door, opposite the restaurant, everyone stopped to stare(? at us. I can tell they were regulars/locals almost like out of a movie. We took a seat to watch the singer. Soon after, a young server appeared to our table, his name was Jeremy. I asked Jeremy what time does the restaurant side opened, and he said 5pm. (It was 6:33pm . The restaurant was empty. We got up from the movie set, and Jeremy escorted us across the way to the restaurant side. I asked if we could sit outside, and he obliged! Outside was NO customers but the most spectacular and perfect view of Clear Lake! (I imagine I could have had my Wedding and Reception here Another server showed up to take our drink order after dropping off our water and warm bread and butter. Her name was Miriam. I found out later that she was promoted from dishwasher to bus girl. Both were extremely professional, kind, and accommodating. Normally, when a restaurant is empty, like this, it is usually a red flag. I inquired about the Bartenders ' mixology skills, to Guage what drink I was to order, and Miriam ensured us that the bartender knew his assignment! Miriam was spot on! Perfect!!! Our (Top Shelf Long Island Ice Teas did not disappoint! We placed our order: Prime Rib Medium Well with Rice for me, and Wifey had the Seafood Linguine. My salad with thousand island came first, and I forgot to say no onions. Once I removed the obvious fresh red onions, the salad was enjoyable! I couldn 't resist asking my server where all the restaurant customers were. They say it was Memoral Day weekend, and people go out of town. We could hear the bar side was packed with neighbors and regulars singing Karaoke, and actually sound nice. Entrées arrived. I was literally shocked of the prime rib presentation! Hot, Seasoned, Tender, Tasty! Melted in my mouth!! My official compliments to the Chef! Seafood Linguine was a good choice for Wifey, with no complaints. Long Islands are doing the job! Jeremy and Miriam took turns checking in on us to ensure customer satisfaction! I asked Miriam about desert and she recited it like it was a Easter Speach. Wifey chose the warm brownies with ice cream. $100 later plus a well deserved $20 tip we were out the door and very satisfied. As we were walking out I saw 3 tables of customers they were working on. As a result of our experience here I will definitely return and hope to see these two professionals Jeremy and Miriam again!!"

"Went here for the Golden Gays brunch on 4/14. It was my first time here. Cute little place minus the construction in the front) and they were PACKED for this event. My girlfriend and I ran late, and didn't have a table to sit at.. Mike managed to get a table and set us up by the vault which was pretty cool, and much appreciated!)Once seated, I noticed about 4-5 servers running like CRAZY. It took us a while to get menus, but once we did, we met our waitress Elaine. Food and drinks also took a while, I ordered the chicken francese and a sex on the beach.. however once I got my food, it was cold. I told Elaine and she was very quick to rectify it. Once remade, it was delicious, definitely recommend. My girlfriend got the ravioli with meatballs- the meatballs were HUGE and she said they were very flavorful.Getting the check after the show was a whole big to-do as not only did one of their computers go down on probably one of the busiest days they've had, but a group of NINE wanted NINE DIFFERENT CHECKS from Elaine Ms. Sherry who posted her 1 star review was one of them- and many of them in that party complained about everything from the start. I was seated right across from them). Needless to say, they caused more congestion. But- BUT, one of the long time workers, Marissa I will never forget her) cleared out the 9 drunken old ladies, myself and 3 other people behind me in about 10 mins! I have never seen someone move so swiftly and efficiently at a cash register!I stayed around after Marissa cashed me out she is an absolute sweetheart and i could see the day had gotten to her) just to learn more about them and the place. I found out that 2 workers called out on the day of this event, it was only Elaine's THIRD shift, and they had other people to come in to help them. They were overwhelmed and it showed but they did the best they could and I went from being frustrated to understanding.This one event does NOT represent the people who work here and the food they serve. Elaine, Mike, Marissa and Dave who I spoke to tonight to make my reservation for NEXT month) are people who love what they do and serve really good food! They know they have kinks to work out which is why I am willing and excited to go back next month for the 2nd Golden Gays brunch."

"Take into account the Hall had just reopened for the season there were a couple of glitches. Our server, Tim, was new but very polite, helpful, accommodating, checking out meal content to meet the dietary needs of a member of our party. We had our drinks our salad bar when a female in a beige dress swooped in removing the wine list menus from our table. When I commented that I was glad we knew what we wanted to order, she became flustered saying she’d take our order immediately. I told her we were fine with Tim coming for our orders after we progressed with the salad course. She walked directly to Tim sent him to us. We hadn’t asked him to speed up but we placed our order to meet that females expectations. The rest of the meal went well. At dessert we asked to close our check so we could meet the 8pm curtain for the ballet. We placed two credit cards in the folder asking to split 50/50. Tim went to the desk to process our payments. In their hurry to close up, one of the females at the desk must have closed it was ours, they gave it to me. The desk staff told our friends they’d return their card when they found it; not acceptable. I reiterated what appeared to have transpired, told the cashier to look in the pile of folders. The missing card was in the third one down. I asked twice if our card had been charged so I could sign. I was told no. We were instructed to enjoy the ballet. Our phone dinged with a charge for the full bill. It didn’t include a tip for Tim. NOT FAIR! The desk needs to get organized and tip Tim 20% on $179."
