    Went early evening with a reservation and still waited an hour+ for food to come out. Steak and burger way overcooked and kids meal was wrong, however the pretzels were good. Waitress was kind but couldnt do anything about the food taking as long as it did. View is fantastic for a drink but would not order anything from the grill again after 3 of 4 meals being poorly made. I hope it was just a bad night because it looks nice and we had higher hopes for a good experience.

    The door was subpar and our server came to our table only about 4 times including when she dropped and picked up the check. Also, for a buffet, gratuity of 18% was automatically added to the check which seemed a bit steep for the service we had received. For 8 people, we paid $400 including tip and this meal was not even worth half of that price. I would not recommend.

    We went to see a band and have dinner with a group of friends. We ordered our food and 1 hour later nothing. Our waitress was so busy somewhere else we never saw her. After getting up and looking for her, we informed her we still haven't received our food. She checked on the status and found out the order was lost. They immediately said they were making our order. Another 25 minutes later our food was delivered. Half cold and salad was dripping with too much dressing.After eating never saw waitress to have someone clear the table. We sat with piles of dishes the rest of the night trying to enjoy the show. I guess when we want to see the band, we will eat at home before going.

    I wish I took pictures of the meals! Delicious. Burger stuff with crabmeat! What?! Quick service and delivered hot. A busy night and all the servers were on top of their game. Weaving thru the dance crowd. And what an amazing night of music. The place was packed with “Best of Clapton” fans. And their set didn’t miss a song and the level of playing was off the charts. All I can say is “🎶 you were wonderful tonight🎶”.

    The price was low for the food and especially for the mimosas. The food choices were limited and were relatively inexpensive items. It was fine for what we paid, but this was not a special occasion brunch. We haven’t been here in a while; it used to be better with more options of higher quality. The servers were friendly, efficient and went out of their way to be helpful.

    The server was very accommodating and she gave us some great suggestions from the menu. Food was terrific. Crab Bisque and Marmont Salad. And we got lucky as that evening the "The Merzey Beat" had a tribute event celebrating so we had a fun ambience as well.
