    Service was excellent, the food was good. They charged a Christmas surcharge of 25% without any notification.

    Online prepped us for a special Christmas menu which was not actually available. Crab cakes were disappointing, not much crunch and tasted more like tuna than crab. Had to request bread even though bread plates were provided when seated. Linguini was okay, anticipated a little more spice.

    We were just 15 mins late and they didn’t have a table for us, they offered no assistance to help. My mom is in a walker and we had kids with us. And my sisters birthday. I was shocked and disappointed will not being going there.

    Sat for an hour waiting for service. Arrived at 5:20 PM sat there till 6:20 pm. All that was given to us were our drinks and hard very uncooked Brussels sprouts that were definitely not worth 16 dollars. I was so disappointed as it was my mom’s birthday and we had no choice but to leave due to poor service and food. Absolutely horrible. Keep in mind there was only 1 other table that was occupied and some gentleman at the bar and that was it so it was pretty slow. The manager seemed to not care how upset I was. I would never recommend this restaurant.

    Terrible experience! Had a reservation before our polar express train ride. After 20 minutes with no drinks or bread, I flagged someone down (not our waitress). She apologized, grabbed our drinks and brought us bread. I asked her if a little over a hour was enough time to order, get our food and make it to the polar express train ride. She assured me it was fine. She flagged down our waitress, who finally took our order. After waiting 1/2 hour, our waitress came to our table and said she was ready to take our order. We informed her that she already did… a1/2 hour ago!! With a panicked look, she ran off to the kitchen. (I suspect she never placed our order.). After 45 minutes, we were told our food was in the back and would be out in a couple minutes. After 10 more minutes, we had to cancel our order and leave hungry. Absolutely unacceptable!
