   This was unfortunately not a family friendly experience. The restaurant asks on Open Table to note if you have kids. We did that. The hostess was very short with us and another party that we knew. They said they had no record of us having kids and then put us at a table in the back next to the restroom. We asked if we could be sat by our friends table or have them sat by us (restaurant was like 30% full) and they said that can’t accommodate that request due to how busy they were. The restaurant was only about 20% full when we left. Crazy. They could have easily taken care of us. At least our server was nice. Food was very avg. Many better options in town.

   The menu items were a bit weird for us {we're in our 70s), so we chose the fish and chips, which were very good. The black forest cake was wonderful. The service was unbelievably good--nothing was too much trouble for our server.

   We love the food at the Flying Steamshovel, and the food was completely reliable and good. Some of the meals warm, and some cool which was disappointing. The last time I was there in early January I remarked at the QUALITY of the service and sadly this was not our experience this time. Every drink that we ordered was late, even after the appetizers arrived and the last drink came when we were sitting waiting for the bill and waiting to leave. It had sat on the bar. We were well done our appetizers when the server took our main order which delayed us getting the meal. Server was engaging and polite just busy and the restaurant appeared short staffed. Doisappointed.

    We had a delicious supper tonight! Awesome burgers and best ever salad with beets, yams, feta, cranberries etc. Excellent local beer on tap, fun relaxing atmosphere, easy to hear each other. Will be back for sure!
