Placed a take out order. Ordered the smothered chicken. It's supposed to come with mashed potatoes. Person who took ordered said I didn't want the mashed potatoes which I did not say. I got two orders of green beans which I didn't want. I called to ask where my mashed potatoes were and got an argument that I didn't want the mashed potatoes. We used to go in here about once a month and actually had reservations to go this Saturday for Valentine's Day but with attitudes that aren't customer friendly, I cancelled the reservation and will not step foot in there again.

You have to hunter for service, food is so basic that I could make it with the same quality and charge you twice more than most places anywhere for menu items that are extremely common and usually quite affordable. Waiter starred me down everytime which was creepy and made it hard to eat. Customers behind me talking smack about me and my girl. Parking was hard to get out of.

I’ve been to this restaurant several times in the past. The food has always been fine, but the main reason I chose it for my birthday dinner was that they offered a private room at no additional charge, which many places do not. Based on previous experiences, I expected a smooth and flexible evening. I originally gave an estimate of 23 guests. Unfortunately, several people canceled very last minute—some within an hour of the event—which was already disappointing and stressful. Prior to the event, I was told that if we had fewer than 20 guests, we could order off the regular menu. Because we were still above that number at the time, I worked with the restaurant to create a simplified menu. The morning of the event, I was informed that one of the entrées was no longer available. I do appreciate that they were willing to keep that special entrée on the menu and prepare it anyway, since guests had already been told it would be offered. When I arrived, I learned—through a guest, not staff—that there was a $500 food minimum and that every guest was required to order one of the special-menu entrées. Guests were allowed to order appetizers, but appetizers could not replace an entrée as their meal. This requirement was not clearly communicated beforehand and differed from previous experiences. It was also during this conversation that I learned the restaurant had changed its policy as of January 1 regarding room fees and minimums, something that was never communicated to me during the booking process. When I tried to ask questions and clarify what had been agreed upon, the initial waiter was combative and dismissive. Management stepped in but handled the situation defensively. At one point, the manager became dismissive as well, stating that I should have told them earlier that fewer guests were coming that morning—despite the fact that cancellations continued to happen right up until the event started. Rather than de-escalating the situation, the focus remained on placing blame. No one from management apologized or checked in with us after that point. They removed our waiter and reassigned a hostess, who did her best under uncomfortable circumstances, but the experience was already soured. Management never followed up with us during the evening. I understand that restaurants have policies, and I’m more than willing to work within them when they are communicated clearly. What made this experience so frustrating was not the policies themselves, but the lack of transparency, last-minute changes, and the tone used when questions were asked. This ended up being the most stressful birthday dinner I’ve had, and I won’t be returning—not because things went wrong, but because of how they were handled.

Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday. Not busy, surprisingly. Great food, tremendous service. Looked like the place had recently been remodeled. I had the 'Mobey Dick' fish sandwich. Skipped the bun, went straight to the huge filet with fries. Nice place. We will Return!
