Honestly I was trying to take someone on a date to this place and when I got there I realized it’s just a part of a hotel, not its own thing. Not very obvious how to get in, had to look around then walked in to the hotel front doors, where nobody even said hello or gave any pointers as to where to go. At this point I can see the place is over to the right, so same entrance is used for both. Then I’m like ok what next all I see is a pretty empty dining room and nobody is there to greet us or say hello, just felt ignored and then I see the signs that say grab a table and scan QR code to order. So I’m like ok for sure… I grab a seat then I go to order and at the checkout I notice they put extra charges for gratitude, which I don’t mind tipping people and all that that’s fine, but $9 gratitude for 2 people eating? And mind you I’m already disappointed in the service from the beginning. I like to see how the service is before I tip personally, what if it’s horrible?? What if my food doesn’t come out for hours?? Also I asked for water and the staff said “oh yea it’s over there in the water tank help yourself” that’s fine but why couldn’t you tell me that when I went to add on wings at the bar??? Long story short, the customer service is terrible, the food was very salty and neither of the burgers we ordered had avocado like they were supposed to and the place is just over priced, especially to have to deal with all that stuff…

Honestly I was surprised by this experience. Usually Open Table steers me to great restaurants but this is an overpriced sports bar. They have a limited menu and were out of several things on the menu, several of the burgers on the menu featured avocado and they were out of that. One of the few desserts was red velvet cake which they were also out of. The burgers we did get were fine but for 15 dollars I think fries should be included. Given the general excellence of the restaurants on Open Table this one was a real disappointment and I was sorry to have invited family to meet us there.

The service was virtually NONE. When we did order we had to go up and stand at a counter because no one waited on us. We stood for 15 minutes with no one paying attention to us. When we tried to order the two items we wanted not available....oatmeal or eggs. We left because it was so bad.

It was self service with mediocre food. Had to ask for water and eating utensils and the mudslide was all over the outside of the glass. A very disappointing experience.

We made a reservation for a party of 8 ahead of time. Received confirmation and even a follow up text asking us to confirm again that we were coming. Showed up on time and were told they don’t know how the online reservation system works and actually the kitchen was closed that night anyway. It was a Friday night at 7:15. So we were screwed and left scrambling to find somewhere else to go that could seat 8 on short notice. We were told to head across the street and maybe they could help us. Overall a pretty bad experience.

We stopped by for the Executive Chefs brunch they have been advertising and it was awesome. Lots of options - fresh baked muffins, yogurt parfaits, a charcuterie board and breakfast burritos. Can’t wait to come back and check out the burgers and sandwiches!

We stopped in for Wednesday Trivia Night. We had a few of their smash burgers, wings, Brussels Sprouts and a boozy milk shake. Everything was great and trivia was fun!
