However, the food was a little disappointing. The currently offered Wedge Salad is a poor replacement for the original Stilton Cheese version and the Salmon on Pea Sauce was very Blah. One would expect a little more (quality and quantity) for these elevated prices. We’d hate to break our tradition, but it’s the first time we have left not knowing for sure if we’ll return.

But was a bit disappointed tonight. We celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary and they didn’t even give us a dessert. Our friends have the same anniversary and we’re telling how the restaurant bought them a drink and the owners came over and congratulated them. I am not looking for things free but it would be nice to be celebrated for such a special occasion. The server was a bit nonchalant and not engaging. It makes me sad because we love this restaurant and have always had a wonderful experience. We will go back but we were a bit disappointed hopefully it was just a one time experience.

The shrimp cocktail was good but nothing special. The French onion soup was AMAZING and so cheesy! The lobster bisque was INCREDIBLE! Don't skip on it. Good price for the food and service. I will definitely be back.

The place was not busy maybe 5 tables of 2-4 per table, and multiple servers in the room. She give us the menu talked about the specials, then disappeared. We had to flag her down to take our order. After dinner we ordered coffee, later ( 5 minutes or so) we ordered dessert. The dessert was served BEFORE the coffee. Coffee was finally served well after the desserts. For the food, I would go back in a heartbeat, but the service was severely lacking.

Salad was good but we after many years of going to 5 crowns have decided not to return. The upholstery on the furniture isn't good anymore and you need to replace the furniture in the reception area as one sinks when they sit down. Chairs in the dining area also lacked spring support and are worn out.
