First of all, let me start by saying our server, Peyton, was a gem. I wish i could rate the server separately from the establishment. She was the best thing about this place.
Now, for the review. My mom and dad brought the whole family here for a nice evening out. Unfortunately, the entire experience was disappointing. It started with having to move from the bar side to the restaurant side where it was extremely warm. We asked (and they accommodated our request) to be moved back to the cooler bar area. We ordered drinks and my mom's Lemon Drop Martini tasted like pure lemonade. When she asked about it, the person we assume was the owner got very defensive., but she did make mom a different drink.
Next comes the meal. They forgot my side salad. Peyton was quick to make it right. Sadly, my medium steak came out well done. They remade it, but everyone else was finished by the time it came out and it had a strange flavor. The mashed potatoes were teaming with garlic that overwhelmed the palette. It was $20 wasted. I should have followed my instincts and ordered something else. Everyone else said their food was okay but nothing remarkable. (Note: the stuffed jalapeños were very SPICY.)
The icing on the cake was the chipped dishes they served my husband's food in. I took a photo and mentioned to the family I'd share the photo on Yelp. Well, that had the owner come in hot and heavy. She was appalled that we would dare share a review on Yelp. She ran over shouting, "Is there ANOTHER PROBLEM over here?!" She had such a bad attitude we were shocked. She was more worried about the Yelp review than our satisfaction. But here's the thing- if she had approached us in a conciliatory way, she might have diffused things instead of escalating things.
It's a shame because this could have been a place to hang out when we come up north. Instead, this was our first and last visit to this establishment. read more
