We just went last Saturday early evening with another couple. It took waitress 15 minutes to bring our water. There were only 2 people at the bar with a bartender and 2 waitresses. It took another 28 minutes to get our drink order taken. We said we were ready to order and she told us that she will be right back. It took over 20 minutes we have finished our drinks by then but didn't want to order another due to slow service. We finally ordered our food and it took overly long to bring it out. We ordered risotto and I am just assuming that it took the 30 minutes to make the risotto. The slow service was really bad but not as bad as the serving of our water, drinks, food. We were at a open table still with no one around us. The waitress did not go around the table to serve us ort drinks and food. She passed it from the corner of the table. She hit my head twice and I was leaning back to give her more room. The hot plates were served over my head and over the man next to me.. By the time we were served there were 4 people at the bar. No one else in the dining room but us 4. Meal was tasty but due to the long wait and extremely poor service we will not go back again. The prices were very high and the serving...
Read moreShannon was attentive and personable. Checked in on us just often enough, had a couple good jokes, and was knowledgeable about the menu.
The place itself? Felt right at home inside and out. We would have sat outside if it wasn't too cold. Inside ig can get a bit loud when it's packed (classic Friday drinkers), but dropped to a cozy chatter after about a half hour at 6:15.
Guest 1: Perch fish fry was excellent. Crisp, not oily, well seasoned, not a strong 'fishy' flavor. Their German potato salad was to die for.
Guest 2: Baked cod - alright, but could have been warmer. Potato pancakes - perfect.
Me: Weekly special was salmon in a mustard cream sauce, rice pilaf, with sautéed spinach and mushrooms. Salmon just needed 30 seconds less in the pan and it would have been a perfect well done. Sauce was balanced, gently sweet. Spinach was cooked perfectly, nice acidity. Mushrooms could have done with a little browning, but were seasoned well. Pilaf was cooked just right, and had the right amount of salt/pepper, but I feel could have had some 'oomph'. Host said they were trying new things and shaping up the menu, and I look forward to how they do...
Read moreWent for a fish fry last night. It wasn’t very busy compared to when we were there about a month ago. I ordered the seafood combo which consisted of 2 perch fillets that were so overcooked they had burnt edges, 2 deep fried shrimp that were also so overcooked that l literally couldn’t hardly bite through them, and last but not least a bite sized piece of overcooked cod . My wife had the beer batter cod that was on the greasy side and not very hot temperature wise. Drinks were good and free after we complained about the food. We had heard that Brian Willoughbee, the food and beverage manager had left a couple of weeks ago, that’s too bad because he finally had the place going pretty smooth with great food and service. Did yourselves a great disservice by letting him or asking him to leave. I doubt that we will come back, only went because we had...
