    Very disappointing experience. The service is awful - our waiter couldn’t even tell us the soup of the day. He barely came to check on us and the food was mediocre at best. For what we paid, we could have gotten a much nicer meal. The place was dirty too and loud. Never again.

    Our server was also the bartender and he was amazing. It was a Tuesday and they had cheap apps and half price drinks from like 5pm until 7pm. We ordered all the apps a charcuterie board and tried a bunch of drinks. We sat outside and the view is amazing. We were here about a year ago and will be back everytime we visit. When we don't have the kids I really want to stay at the hotel also. Kudos to the owner!!

    My only complaint was the young girl at the next table who kept jumping around and screaming and then swinging on the pole and the 2 adult women did nothing.

    Stopped here for dinner before a show at Golden one. A limited menu, but great service, and the dishes were delicious and presentation of the dishes were excellent. My daughter and I enjoyed it and would definitely come back!

    I like this place but every time I come it seems to get worse, which is sad. I think maybe because they were busy this day. My salmon was oily and not prepared right and I hate to send food back. The fries was brought out separately and they were cold when We got our burger. We didn’t eat just paid for our food and left.

    Nice evening visiting my niece and we wanted to eat dinner sitting by water. We sat outside on the deck area with a wonderful breeze and cool weather. The food was very good. We had clam chowder, and I had the crab cake. My husband had the rib eye had said it was excellent.

    My salmon and risotto dish was great, but my husband’s halibut dish had no flavor.
