Living close by a relative recommended the outdoor dining. We arrived to sit outside, and it was a bit cold so we came inside. Having lost loved ones to COVID and having worked in the Public Health Industry for decades, I could not wait to get out. The manager was wearing a mask below his chin on both sides of the bar. At one point they were three deep at the bar without masks. I went outside to have a cigarette, and when the manager was outside, I mentioned it's really laxed here considering the rest of the world is facing a pandemic. He assured me it would be handled, yet as we spoke 3 people walked in passing him with no masks on. We stayed to finish dinner having been fully vaccinated, but it became too uncomfortable and people were standing in front of our tables talking to each other with no masks. The food was extremely salty, the waitress was nice, but the complete disregard for anyone's health and the current pandemic forced us out of the place early.

There was a lot of food left at the end of the evening, so guests were welcome to bring some home. If in the area, this is a place worth considering for an event. Management is very customer oriented...
Read moreHad dinner the other night and my server gina put in all my food to go when i asked that she just put in some wings to go before i leave. A different person brought my food out all in to go packaging and i had to ask that it be plated and my wings were out with our entrees. After several minutes my plated food had arrived and no sign of gina. I then had to go get my own condiments because she was nowhere to be found. After we were done eating gina asks how we were doing and when i addressed the condiment situation she said that most people dont need them so she would only bring them if asked yet she was nowhere to be found until check time. Frustrating experience and waitress shrugged it off as if...
