    We were seated outside and after 20 minutes a waiter came and told us we sat in the wrong location if we wanted service as they had only 2 servers working and it would be a while before we could get anything. We asked to order drinks and requested napkins and silverware and he told us it would “be a while”for that. If they’re short handed they should not have taken any more reservations and certainly should have let us know. Instead we were seated, brought bread, water and oil and no utensil, plates or napkins and a snippy waiter too busy to service our table. We left without ordering. It’s too bad as this is the second time we’ve had poor service here. The food is good if you get a server but the service lacking.

    This is a perfect gem location in Kildeer/Deer Park area. Started with an Old Fashioned. Made really well and seemed like a large one. Either way was very good. Wife had their lemon chicken soup which was perfect. I had a Caesar Salad. So many places just throw some Romain on a plate, but they really did it perfect. Anchovies optional and are fresh. For dinner, my wife had their pork chop. Flavor was delicious, but it was a little over done. Didn’t stop us from devouring it at dinner and then leftovers. I had the Chicken Cacciatore which was so flavorful. Chicken was perfect. Loved my left overs. Our server Deanne was awesome - thank you for a perfect evening.

    When 2 o’clock expecting to get the dinner menu. It was there Saturday Sunday buffet for Mother’s Day. I personally don’t like buffets because I’m a Wheelchair user and I don’t like working for my food. I eat there pretty regularly for special events and was surprised that at 2 o’clock. It was still brunch. The selection of food was good, but not what I was expecting for Mother’s Day.
