Stopped here on our way back to Evanston, WY after a kid's baseball tournament…read more The restaurant was incredibly disorganized, there was one order in front of us when we came in and one behind us, but you would've thought they were swamped by the way the two workers were acting. We waited 50minutes for our to-go order. A plain cheeseburger came out covered with all of the fixings instead of it being left plain. The customer after us was told that most of that stuff doesn't come on the burger and has to be added. The grilled ham and cheese was slathered in mayo and too soggy to be appetizing. At least the fries were good, but that's the only positive I can find. Overall, extremely disappointing. Had we not already been on the road back to Wyoming we'd have gone back and asked for a refund, which we almost did as a result of the wait to begin with.

The food is good, but the view is what keeps me coming back. I'd give the view a 5, the food a 4,…read moreand the service a 2. This was my second visit, and unfortunately it was almost identical to the first. The welcome was not very friendly, and our waitress walked by the table several times before finally speaking to us. After that, she never really came back to check on us, ask whether we needed anything, or see how the food was. The next thing we knew, she was dropping off the bill. We ordered two appetizers, but only one was brought out. I also clearly mentioned that I have a food allergy, and she said she would let the kitchen know. Even so, the appetizer arrived with the ingredient I'm allergic to, and nothing was said about it. On top of that, the salad came with the wrong dressing. That said, the seared ahi tasted fresh, and the greens with salmon really hit the spot. The food itself was enjoyable, which makes the service issues even more disappointing. It is hard to overlook a missed appetizer, the wrong dressing, and especially the mishandling of a food allergy. This place has a lot of potential, but the service definitely needs work.

Terrible service, could not get plates or forks for the appetizers. One order was brought to the…read moretable wrong 2 times. Had to go to the bar for beers and all the servers were inside hanging out doing nothing. No apologies for anything, no manager in sight. Food was not good.
