Generally, we have an exceptionally good experience at the flying steam shovel. The last time though, the server was mediocre, seemed to have a little bit of an attitude, and just wasn't friendly or engaging. I am working my way through their whole menu, and this time I tried the chicken sandwich. It was terrible. Dry, over cooked chicken breast. With that said, the burgers,the fish and chips, poke bowl, and the beers on tap are exceptionally good and the servers are friendly,jovial, and engaging. So my five stars mostly reflects all my past experiences not just this one single time. This was the only time I was unhappy with the meal and service. Also need to point out that I believe this was a new server that I had never seen before.

This was unfortunately not a family friendly experience. The restaurant asks on Open Table to note if you have kids. We did that. The hostess was very short with us and another party that we knew. They said they had no record of us having kids and then put us at a table in the back next to the restroom. We asked if we could be sat by our friends table or have them sat by us (restaurant was like 30% full) and they said that can’t accommodate that request due to how busy they were. The restaurant was only about 20% full when we left. Crazy. They could have easily taken care of us. At least our server was nice. Food was very avg. Many better options in town.

The menu items were a bit weird for us {we're in our 70s), so we chose the fish and chips, which were very good. The black forest cake was wonderful. The service was unbelievably good--nothing was too much trouble for our server.
