   SERVICE DOES NOT MEET BASIC EXPECTATIONS Dined here on the occasion of my daughter's birthday with high hopes from the reviews and photos online. We were seated and waited on promptly and ordered 3 drinks and an appetizer. LONG WAIT TIME to the extent that I was reluctantly trying to get someone's attention, but to no avail. Waitress then appeared to tell me the beer I ordered was "warm". So I canceled my drink and my guests each had a mixed drink. Later during the meal, we had to flag down another waiter (not ours) to refill water glasses. Needless to say, this was very poor service and a disappointment. THE FOOD was very good. I had the glazed salmon and it was excellent. Perfectly cooked, moist and a nice size filet. The quinoa salad that accompanied it was also good. My daughter had the mushroom risotto with added beef tips and she liked it. Her guest had a steak and was equally pleased. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by the awkwardness surrounding poor service. Fortunately, the food was not equally below industry standards. We probably won't be back. Too risky.

   We tried the new three course menu they are offering on Sunday evenings. The appetizers and entrees were excellent. Unfortunately, the dessert selection was limited but the blueberry cheesecake was delicious. Our waiter was also very friendly.

   We had a great time! I even accidentally made the reservation for 4 people and not 5, and they were able to accommodate, easily. Favorite place to eat in Lincoln.

   Very good food, I would go back. Our waiter wasn't the most friendly guy in the restaurant. We were sat by the kitchen, which is an open kitchen. Lots of stuff going on in the kitchen area. The place was noisy but once people started to leave it subsided. They charge 4% for using a credit card which is BS!! crapy to charge us when were are spending a ton of money.

    Booked my reservation two weeks ago for an Easter Brunch buffet. The buffet menu was extensive on their website. Sounded delicious. Reasonably expensive but acceptable. When we arrived, we were told that they don’t have a buffet, only option was to order off the standard menu. A huge disappointment. I talked to a hostess at the Venue and she apologized and had received several calls complaining about the same issue. Where was I now supposed to go to get an Easter dinner reservation elsewhere at 1:30 on Easter afternoon? Ate a mediocre meal and left disappointed and dissatisfied. Someone really needs to take responsibility for website accuracy.
