"I have been going here periodically for well over 15 years. It has been a choice primarily for its ambience and good food. Historically the service has been great however the restaurant has now shifted to a very impersonal on-line ordering platform wherein you scan a QR code and place your order using your phone. I found the menu more difficult to browse in this manner and it detracts from time with friends and company. Also, once orders were placed and eventually delivered by wait staff, the wait staff rarely returned to the table for any follow up needs or checks. They simply dropped off the orders and walked away. After waiting about twenty minutes for a dessert we ordered I had to leave my table to find wait staff to inquire about its status. He was very attentive and within 3 minutes had delivered it to our table. That was our last interaction with staff as they never returned to ensure our on-line bill was clear and complete. I may not return if the current process remains as it was clear management is pulling a Walmart attitude by understaffing and making the customer perform their own services."

The new ordering system through your phone is terrible. The wifi isn't very strong and it's a complicated process. Its much more preferable to have a server to interact with for a higher end dining experience. The system was extremely frustrating as the wifi was very weak and I didn't have any cell service without the wifi.

It was nice to be able to sit outside with our young grandchildren where they didn't seem to be a bother to any of the other diners. But we felt pretty much ignored. It took a long time to have our order taken, then one drink was missing and one entire entree never arrived. We would have asked about it, but our waitrrss never came back to check on us. Won't return

Honestly, this venue is extremely overpriced compared to other local restaurants, including a few that are nationally ranked. The waitstaff were excellent and there is a great selection of food. My wife and I were quite disappointed in the food we were served. The fried shrimp plate consisted mostly of a huge bed of fries and only 8 shrimp. My wife ordered the chicken kabobs which she felt were overcooked, while the broccoli was undercooked. Our meal (no dessert and only one drink) came to $80. I know this is a popular local restaurant, but I can't recommend it to anyone. View menu

Not sure what happened but they used to have a full menu but this time it was a one pager so not many options. The floors and table were a bit slanted and the chairs felt a little flimsy. For some reason they served the drinks in plastic cups which really kills the feeling of a real meal. Server gave a couple of our plates to another table then realized his mistake and tried to take them away from the other people and give them back to us don't want food that someone else already started touching and breathing on. This was a graduation dinner so luckily I don't ever need to go back there again.

Situated by Coventry Lake, this restaurant has great ambience but it is spoiled by the lack of tilting umbrellas so that in the afternoon, you are sittingi n the hot sun. The food is very good but a little overpriced; what really annoyed us was that after ordering refills of our diet cokes, we found out that each refill was charged. This is quite upsetting as (1) we should have been told before confirming the order that there were NO free refills; (2) at $3.50 apiece, a refill of a soda SHOULD have been included in the price; (3) at the prices we were paying for food, this extra tab was disquieting. This soda problem put a pall over the whole experience and I doubt we will go back to this re...
