They forgot my drink, but then comped it when she remembered it. It was Easter Sunday, so it was quite busy, so I understand the wait for the food.

                                                              We went for Easter brunch and were the second table seated. We waited an hour and half for our food. The manger never once came to apologize or compensate how long the wait was. It wasn’t just our table ,but the whole restaurant. I was sad because we have always had great service in the past.

                                                              Good service, good food, good environment. Great for a birthday dinner but we’ve also stopped by just for dessert. Nice spot with fresh, local ingredients.

                                                              We have been several times and had great service. Last night the service started off good and quickly went down hill after the water was brought to our table. Food was good but not worth the wait which our dinner took 2.5 hours! 90 min after ordering we finally received our dinner. They offered nothing but a sorry for my absence from our server who spent over an hour dealing with a large party’s bill next to us. She basically totally forgot about our table and we had 3 other people coming over to ours. We were celebrating a birthday and an athlete and told her so. They didn’t do anything for dessert. Sadly the 20% gratuity was added and she still managed to charge the wrong credit cards the wrong amounts even when we wrote it all down for her. For a $500 bill I expected more than an insincere apology. They could have at least comped us dessert.
