College Street Brewhouse & Pub — Restaurant in Lake Havasu City

Busy early evening. Wait list of 30 minutes which is fair for a Wed before Thxngvg. We were seated at a nice patio table and appreciated the heaters as the night cooled. Tawnee was our server and she did a great job. She has attributes that restaurants should seek out more and reward - especially craft breweries. She has a natural conversational style and is a straight shooter and non-transactional. Bar was slammed so our drinks came out after our app. No big deal. Set flight of 6 was solid. I see why BBV is a hit. The new razz sour is well done too. The IPA needs a little rework - perhaps make it a sweeter. Had the avocado app and it was decent but lacking presentation- maybe add a few greens to hold them in place. I had the Ahi tuna meal and my wife had the ravioli. Delivery of mains took a long time as it was on the tail of the rush. The menu is huge and that impacts what could be. Side salads came first and were fresh and generous and the vinagrette was a refreshing surprise. The ravioli flavours were good but the rose sauce had split. It would have benefited from some small last touch - how about chiffonade fresh basil on top? The Ahi was cooked perfectly and the product quality was evident served alongside the rice. The veggies were cooked perfectly too - crunchy not overdone and a nice portion size. But the saucing... not good. This is partly the result of the menu being too big and trying to do too many things. Freshen it up. it could be a signature dish. Use the vinagrette or the jalapeno honey as a base for a light fresh citrus sauce to compliment the Ahi perhaps. The soy was lazy. If you can cook Ahi perfectly, like was done here, then saucing should not kill the dish. Lemon meringue pie for dessert - please use real whipped cream. There are real skills in the kitchen here, but I would say size the menu down and focus on your top 10-12 money makers (how many burgers do you need on the menu?) with a few simple touches and don't try to be everything to everyone. Management and Chef and Sous should sit down and have a brutally honest conversation about reducing the menu size when looking at the data... if that can happen, then this place would be firing on all cylinders... It is hard to do especially with the labour market the way it is, but from my experience, I think the upside would...

First time here. They didn't have any ciders, but had two awesome sours that made my night! Tried the raspberry and the blueberry sour, and the way the blueberries kept sinking and floating kept me entertained🤣😂 they had a filet and snow crab special that was bomb! The green chili had really good flavor and was a great side. Tried their cabbage chow chow as my second side and it was a nice break from the average coleslaw, I loved it! Appetizers were great, and my family loved their dishes too. The espresso martini had a really cool chocolate design on top and the attentionto detail was amazing! Topped it off with a white chocolate bread pudding that was a nice touch. Tatum took care of us and she was amazing! She even helped my indecisive daughter decide on something and her recommendations were spot on! Between the food, the drinks, and the service, any one of those would keep me coming back, and this place had all three that were exceptional! We'll definitely be...

Today we visited College Street for lunch. The waitress was very nice and accommodating. She was sure to check in on us and refill drinks in a timely manner. However after nearly 45-50 minutes after ordering a very easy lunch for 3 people our food had not arrive. It appeared that the kitchen staff had prioritized a graduation get-together on the patio and had forgotten about the patrons inside. When I asked to speak to the manager she came over. I let her know first the waitress has been a great job but I wanted to share an opportunity I believe the back of the house should consider in better delegating assignments because it shouldn't take almost an hour to get our simple order. The manager then attempted to argue with me by stating they hadn't been open for an hour. (Okay 45 minutes). She then went and checked on the food and it was magically ready. The food was subpar and the experience was as well. If it wasn't for the waitress I most likely would've left before...
