   The food was bad - we had the prime rib and it was, for the most part, inedible. The kids ordered linguini, they got macaroni but at least they enjoyed it. The server, who was overwhelmed with 4 tables left us sitting and when we brought up the funky food she shrugged. Used to be a favorite so this was a genuine surprise but, overall, a regrettable dinner

   Food was amazing. Our server Alisha was attentive and available. Just like always, Smugglers hit it out of the park!!

   This a new ownership for Smugglers. My husband and I had been going there since nice 2006. It was our go to for special occasions and never disappointed from the soup and salad bar to the prime rib to the classic service. The prime rib was always excellent. With the new ownership last night we experienced below standard salad bar with no more than salad with dressings. No more extra salad choices such as potatoe salad etc. I chose Smugglers cut which was very thin over salted and undercooked. The backed potato was dry as well as the Yorkshire pudding. I boxed my whole plate to re-cook at home today. My dinner was $43 Smugglers cut and the salad bar was $9. My husband had the first mates cut $54 which didn’t look much different than mine. Very then over salted and overcooked. We boxed his as well to re-cook today. This was our wedding anniversary and a big splurge for us, and felt we just handed $179. To the new owner as part of a “Go Fund Me” since we no way had received the value for our money. We would have been better served to choose a family restaurant and pocked the extra money this cost us. BIG THUMBS DOWN SMUGGLERS!!! We do not refer this restaurant and very much advise not to go spend your money there. I would suggest the Keg or Cattle barn which is far superior with the same cost to the now new Smugglers.

   Really disappointing. Not the old Smugglers that I remember. Tonight we went and was told only the buffet was available. Prime Rib was fatty, Turkey was dry and shrimp was good but ran out before 7pm with no substitute. Won’t be back.

   Probably the worst dining experience we have ever had. Went for the Mother’s Day brunch and the food was terrible. Service was also terrible, it took 40 minutes for us to get our drinks. Will never return and will encourage others to avoid.

   Very disappointed. Why ask if it’s a celebration if you are going to ignore it?why not bring more than one glass of water?why have very mild horseradish.?overpriced undervalued Ground pepper would be appreciated on the salad
