This should have been a day to celebrate the upcoming addition to the family. My daughter in law booked the venue and deposit paid.. should have known we were heading for trouble when they misplace the booking and the deposit.. 80% of order placed a week ago after they miracously found it, room "free" but you have to order a la carte.. this facility takes bookings for groups (ours was booked for 25 covers including 4 children). However this is where the fun begins, you are limited to a time slot, orders are not prepared when asked for, drinks served in dirty glassware, missing orders as they have run out of dishes.. the excuse.. staff come in at 12 and would not know we ran out and the clincher...

Just basic housekeeping. We will revisit but I'm...
Read moreNew to Flint and visited for food on Sunday. Sign outside states food served everyday. Reviews looked promising. Unfortunately, was not a very welcoming atmosphere. Apparently no food served on a Sunday and the waitress said I told them the sign needs updating. Not the cleanest of places, so probably a blessing in disguise there wasn't any food. Looked okay if going for a pint but wouldn't recommend with families, although the establishment also states families friendly. The place appears very clicky and I think you need to be a local person with years of having your feet in the door to be welcomed. Unless this is your local, I would not recommend a visit. After reading deeper into some more reviews regarding food, I'd...
