This had to have been the worst dining experience ever. The venue was truly lovely - the service, however, was terrible. After waiting close to 20 minutes to be acknowledged and seated, we sat at our table nearly 20 minutes before our server arrived. When she did, it was straight to the entree order (no drinks/appetizers were offered). We had to ask for both. The appetizers took forever to come - the same with our meal. The server seemed to disappear for 20-30 minutes between each course. Meanwhile, as we patiently waited, the table beside us was less than entertaining. They were loud, obnoxious, and completely drunk - and disruptive to every other dining guests in the small room we were in. Sadly, they kept being served their martinis which only elevated the level of disruption. One of their drunken guests wondered off (assumingly looking for the bathroom)and was ‘lost’ in the kitchen where our friend found her and helped her back to her table.
My meal was okay (salmon) but my husband’s arrived completely cold. We were there for 3 hours and that is without having dessert - we actually ran out of time.

The ribs entree was very tender and tasty! Loved how they brought out the toppings tray for the baked potatoes, that was wonderful. The homemade beef vegetable soup was a nice blend of vegetables and the fresh baked breads were delicious. An overall delightful dining...
Read moreThe evening started with our Hostess, Betsey, greeting us and seating us. She was so welcoming and spoke to us several times as she made her way around with water, referring to us by name. Our server was Gloria. She was Johnny on the spot! Friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. I noted Matthew who was busy the entire time, taking plates and trays away, fixing tables when customers left. The food was amazing, from the very first bite to the very last. Gloria wrapped up our desserts and gave us flatware to use when we ate our desserts in our room at Tara later on. ...
