    As always, theservice,food,ambiance was great! I took 7 people to dinner tonight to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Everyone enjoyed the night from the moment we entered. Our reservations were for 6:30 and by 6:32 we were seated at our table. The food was delivered to the table hot and cooked to perfection. The cocktails were served within 5 minutes of being ordered and they were not short poured at all and were delicious. The waiter, sorry dude I forgot your name, was quick to bring water and take our drink order. He was on it, I mean he never missed checking in us and getting whatever we needed when we needed it, and was very pleasant and conversational.

    The food was good and the service was OK. I still think that when you pay that much for food the service should be fantastic! I don’t think the server had too many tables, but we had to keep asking for refills on our drinks ,steak sauce, more bread, etc.. Another server actually stopped by and gave us some refills on water and something else. I belong to your rewards so I was under the impression that I got $10 off each campfire meal ordered instead I got one $10 off and then they took $15 in my rewards to bring the bill down. There were four of us who ordered two campfire meals.
