    The service was very slow. Waited twenty minutes before our server made an appearance . The spinach was not up to par . I could not eat it. I complained to server about it and her response was she would talk to the chief, but never gave me an answer nor did she remove it from the bill. The rest of the meal was not up to the standard I was use to at this restaurant. It will be awhile before I will return.

    Misty was fantastic! She brought our iced teas with simple syrup and lemon when she first came to our table because she has waited on us before and knew that’s what we usually drink. She then answered a couple of questions we had about the happy hour menu regarding coupons we had. She checked on us after the food came and kept our iced teas refilled. She has a wonderful personality and interacts great with customers!

    Wonderful experience. Nice greeting when arrived. Table was semi circle booth. Nice location. Quite private. Mark did an outstanding job. Attentive but not overbearing, made great suggestions, interacted with us but only when he sensed OK. Food was outstanding. Actually, experience would be difficult to improve. Wife’s birthday. A delightful evening.

    Service was slow for seating in a bar. Running out of large ice rocks and needing to wait to get more was lame. Steaks were undercooked and very full of gristle. The bar singer was too loud for conversation. Mark was requested at time of reservation and we got someone else. Nice lady but not Mark…
