As an appetizer I ordered the fried pickles. They were very good. It's a generous amount which was awesome. For some reason they only give you one little side of ranch for this huge helping of fried pickles. So that was not good. The service was ok. The waiter was very nice but seemed over worked. We didn't see him a lot but when we did he was great. They need to improve on seating. They take your name when you come in but it wasn't organized. Once seated it took forever to get our food. We were probably there for 2 hours. Granted, they were busy and it was a Holiday weekend, but I would expect that they would be prepared for the chaos. It's a pirate/sailing themed bar as well so it's a little noisy, but that's to be expected. Side note: It's decorated really well. I'll definitely eat here again. I'll just hope it's not a 2 plus hour experience next time. :-) 3 stars because of slow service. Sorry. I was with family and just forgot to get pics.

I may need to update my review of this place after we've given it another shot, assuming that we…read moredo. That said, here's how our visit went. I should start by saying that we arrived fairly late, I'd say within the last 40-50 minutes that they were open. We didn't realize that we arrived so late inside the restaurant as it took a while to park and make our way inside. When we arrived and made our way to the ordering/checkout stand to place our order, the guy just stared at us and didn't even say a word. No hello or anything. The vibe he gave us was very "go away," even though he didn't actually say that of course. We asked if it was OK if we order and he grunted out what we thought was a "yes." I have to say that I am incredibly disappointed with the fact that this is the type of place where you go up and order your food and then sit down. Seems like a missed opportunity by them not having table service. It felt very much like a concession stand that happened to be outside of a gift shop. When trying to figure out what to order, we had a few questions for the young kid running the register. The entire time he's barely speaking a word, so it was incredibly awkward and irritating. We order our food and my husband had to ask another question, which he either did not hear or just deliberately ignored. When our food comes out, it's delivered to the table and we tried to eat quickly so we could get out of their hair. For a restaurant that's tied to a tourist trap, we did not feel welcome at all. Now, I'm not an idiot, I know we showed up within the last hour of their day, but come on, this is a tourist spot. I feel like the staff should've been a little more gracious. If this had been my business, I would be appalled at how my customers were being treated, no matter what time they arrived. On another note, the older gentleman out in the parking lot that was driving the tram from the restaurant area to the parking lot area was an absolute delight. We did not even ride the tram and I can tell you that the man driving it really enjoys what he does. He was so polite and friendly, even when we declined the ride. Kudos to that guy for providing excellent customer service. Anyway, back to the restaurant. I ordered the shepherds pie, which was actually pretty good. It came out hot as blue blazes Dallas though lol, so I had to keep blowing on it to cool it off. If we do end up giving this restaurant another shot, I would be happy to order the same thing again. My husband was not a fan of his food though. I can't recall what he ordered. We both tried the baked beans and they were pretty good. Anyway, I'm tired as I'm writing this so it's probably going to come off a bit jumbled. Short story long, we will likely try this place again at some point in the future since we are local and also plan on checking out the Shepherd of the Hills activities. That said, customer service could use some improvement in the restaurant itself.
