We're meeting the family in Ashland for hubby's Diamond Year. We're the first to arrive, so we went…read moreout for a walk, in search of food. We looked at the menu, it said something about a 'creek'. We're sold! As we entered the restaurant, we were asked: "Would you prefer seats by the creek or inside. It was too dark inside to read the menu, and anything to do with water, I'm there. I found the perfect table, where it's closest to the creek waves, but we were soon have to move, because the restaurant shares the outside tables with the restaurant next door. I was sort-of disappointed. The waiter, and the excellent BBQ Ribs & Kettle Chips took that away! Hubby's Recession Burger and Classic Fries were also just as good. He also ordered a side of black bean chili. Service was exceedingly friendly. Waiter was very informative about the direction, how to get to the other side of the creek, it was a perfect hike for us, on that beautiful afternoon. UPDATE: Our dinner was so good last night, we ended back to the other side of the creek, to Louie's for lunch! Our waiter recognized us. We sat closer to the wall, almost the same table as we sat last night, too, with a different waitress, who is just as pleasant and friendly as our waiter. This time hubby ordered a BLT (smoky bacon piled HIGH, and I mean piled HIGH) and Kettle Chips, while I settled for Spring rolls. The spring rolls were not large, they're like half of a normal size. His BLT came on a multi grain bread and just the right amount of mayo. We both agreed, it was the BEST BLT sandwich in the world! (We've traveled the world, we know!) But to top things off they gave him a complimentary, a chocolate lava cake as it was hubby's birthday. Thank you!

My friend and I were treated very badly at this restaurant. I am very forthright about what I need,…read morebeing a diabetic and asked for a skinny margarita. When it came it was too sweet and I tried to tell the waiter that and he threw an absolute fit and asked us to leave, saying I was being rude. We were shocked. Neither my friend nor I thought I was being rude. I didn't say or do anything offensive. When I asked how I was being rude, the waiter's response was, "do you hear yourself?" I even apologized and said if I had offended somehow, I was sorry. My friend said she didn't think I was being rude. As we rose to leave, I told the waiter maybe he was too sensitive and that was the problem. He kept yelling at me to look at myself in the mirror. The cook had our food ready and was about to give it to us and I said we were leaving because the waiter was kicking us out, and the cook's response was "good." He hadn't even been there. The waiter obviously had a huge insecurity chip on his shoulder to be so rude to a paying customer for some imagined slight. But then I messaged the owner and she gave me some BS about "heartfelt" apologies. I asked if we could come have the meal that we were denied and her response was "All things considered, I think it best you explore another Ashland dining experience." Then I saw all the one star reviews on Yelp and her exact same "heartfelt" response to all of them while absolutely nothing changed, and I realized the problem is the owner. She doesn't care about customer experience. The staff act the way they do because she allows it. Any other restaurant would have offered dessert or appetizers or something to make up for the bad experience, which is what good restaurants do. I am 63 and have eaten at restaurants all over the world, and never been treated like this. But obviously other restaurants have higher standards for their staff and themselves. There are too many restaurants where people are courteous and accommodating, especially to customers with health issues, to put up with the low standards at this place. We went next door to Green Leaf and were able to ask for modifications in the menu and treated with the utmost care. And to the owner, please don't bother with your standard response of communicating our concerns to your staff, etc., etc. We are perfectly aware of what that's worth.

However, if you have the chance to stop in Bird & Rye and love freshly fried chicken and some delicious local ciders, this is the place to be! The restaurant is pretty small and very bare bones, but that makes it feel more like a Midwest barbeque place and helps with the ambiance. Our server was quick and lovely and attentive, and we all had a variety of the chicken options, fries, and Mac and cheese. I will say the Mac and cheese was nothing to write home about, probably a 3 out of 10 for me. But the chicken sandwich was 10 out of 10 for sure. My partner had the Nashville hot and he said it was also a 10 out of 10. Definitely worth the stop and the chicken was to die for.

First time trying Greenleaf for breakfast it did leave a bit to be desired. In short: service felt…read moreabandoned, food was average, and drinks were hit or miss. As a side note, they put their tip options reversed from highest to lowest left to right as "25%, 20%, 18%" which I find almost intentionally trying to get people to click the highest percentage if they don't pay attention. Plus having the minimum option be 18 contributes to the toxic tipping trends. Service: this was the area that struggled the most. When we arrived our party was waiting by the host stand that said to wait to be seated for a long time along with several other parties. While I understand wanting to spread our seating, no one even acknowledged us for nearly 10 minutes leaving us and the other parties wondering if they even noticed us. Once seated, we not checked on by our server, only saw at order and check. Important because we had a couple missing items from our order that we had to flag down multiple people for because we would tell someone who would "check on it" for us but still never brought out our missing items and maybe would have been noticed if we were checked on. Plus never had our waters refilled or anything of that. Drinks: these were either good or meh, with some of the coffee drinks like cappuccino or latte being well made, whereas others like the chai really just tasted like milk with some spice on top. Food: this was just about average. There was nothing too significant to report here, but it didn't exactly feel special or real reason to go again. To be fair, it was popular downtown as the weather was nice and the outside seating was popular, but for peak tourist and graduation season, there certainly should be more staffing to avoid issues.
