    Went with a party of 8 for a special occasion. We were seated on time as we had a reservation. The server was not very good, slow and she ROLLED HER EYES when our table ordered 8 waters (I guess the fact we don’t drink was problematic to Wendy). After bringing our water, about 10 minutes after taking the drink order, she left and never asked for starters/apps. We were prepared to order 3 to share at the table, but as she dropped the waters without asking, we didn’t feel compelled. While it was a Saturday evening - we noticed her other tables received better attention. She took our order. The food came in about 20 minutes, which I felt was good given the pace of the restaurant. The food came - salads, meatloaf, a vegan dish, fish and chips, etc. was all very tasty, truly. What I found weird was Wendy started clearing plates as 4 of the party were still eating. That is unusual, at least in MD. Nevertheless, we all finished about 10 minutes later, the table was cleared and we paid the bill. If in the area, I’d return for the food - NOT for her service. We all enjoyed the meal and the company.

    The waiter excels at ignoring his table. Had the same experience with this waiter before.

    Don’t go here Ordered fried calamari it was the smallest amount of food and on top of that it looked disgusting. Quesadilla was all right. Buffalo blue salad, decent cheeses. You don’t expect to get a slab of cheese, but rather expect crumbles.

    Birthday dinner was ok. Food was as I remembered, good but smaller portions for higher prices. It was a Tuesday night @ 630pm and I didn't think it would be as crowded as it was. So, it was noisy and hard to have a conversation at a table in the main dinning room.

    This was the second time we have been there. First time we had Lisa as a server and was great, very personable and attentive. This time we had Aaron. The only way I know this, it was on the check. He never introduced himself, made us wait for quite a while, the bartender had to tell him to get over to us. He did check on us once, to see if our food was ok. Overall he should be a bar back, not a waiter.
