    The food was fine. Our issue was the service and wait times. Our reservation was at 12:15 - we were seated fairly quickly, but once we were seated, we waited several minutes to order our drinks - we did not have someone take our food order until closer to 12:50 - we received our food around 1:30, giving us about five minutes to eat before we were supposed to leave for the game. We requested the check when we got our food - after waiting about 15 minutes for someone to take the check back, I decided to walk it up to the bar and pay there. Overall, the food was not worth the almost 2 hours we were inside the restaurant. I have never made a reservation 1.5 hours before an event and not been able to make it. We ended up getting to the game about 25 minutes after it started. I should note that our server also never checked on us for refills or anything else while we were there - this was probably the worst service we’ve experienced anywhere, especially for the price and location.

    We ate there before a Red's game. Their menu has a great variety, the food was great and enjoy their beer. Service was also good, even though the place was a bit of a mad house pre-game. Good way to start the fun!

    The fish & chips was delicious and steaming hot, however, the salmon Oscar came with cold green beans, cold mashed potatoes, hot salmon, and was topped with cold crab. Half disappointed in our meal.

    The server forgot to take our table’s order for at least an hour. We had to ask her to take our order when she was bringing food to another table. She also gave me the wrong drink. I am not able to drink alcohol, so being given some drink I did not order is very risky. The food itself was pretty average for the high cost. Overall I would say it was not the best experience.
