Read moreThis is a re-re-review:
We come to LedgeStone a ton, and it has become a mainstay of our nights out in that area. Firstly the wine is great, the beer is awesome and the atmosphere is really nice. Their wines are one of the best in the area and their IPA's are really good. 5 stars on that side of it and so far has kept us coming back. (even having a best friends wedding here) I have lost count the amount of times we have gone out for drinks here.
We have eaten here about 5 times and I would say the food overall was good. Unfortunately the last few times the kitchen has been an issue, with extremely long waits or orders not going in. First time it happened we just canceled our order in the end because it clearly was forgotten about/didnt go in. The second time we had an issue was recently. We had a reservation, ordered and as others came in and got our food, and quickly past the time the kitchen closed, it became evident we must have been forgotten about again. (1hr 35mins for a burger) This time we brought it up to the front staff as we still wanted to eat and something was rushed out, but was very over salted. I hope these kitchen problems arnt long lasting growing pains, of growing too quickly.
We understand that they are a small place and from their response to my last updated review the owner clearly cares. Which is worth rerereviewing. In the end off nights do happen, and we brought it up to the staff.
Overall a good experience but I have to remove a star or two as the kitchen has left us high and dry a few times, which was really disappointing. We will continue to come back and I am sure things will improve on that side. We would still recommend them as a "go to spot" in the...
Read moreI do really love this place but have a word of caution if you reserve a table during their ticketed music shows.
We paid $55 per person to sit at a table, which included concert admission. This was in addition to spending over $400 on food and drinks throughout the show.
Where things went wrong: Appetizers came out after our dinner and she didn't even realize it until we reminded her. Server offered to comp us ONE appetizer. Upon reviewing our bill at the end that didn't happen.
We were told the $55 pp was because we were getting table service. The server barely stopped by during our time there, and we had to wave her down several times. It should be noted there aren't a lot of tables and I saw at least 3 servers so it's not like the table to server ratio was off.
We are wine club members and I had asked to pick up our wine that night. I did it before the music started and things got busy. She had to be reminded again...2x.
I would also say we've experienced problems with billing in the past and it's frustrating an itemized bill isn't shared without having to ask - and even then it's scrolled through quickly on the tablet.
Overall just dont think paying $55 pp in addition to what we spend on food and drinks is worth the table service. Seemed it's better just to wait in line and we would likely get faster service vs. waiting for a server that...
