    Waited forever to get a server. Our food was given to another table and had to be remade. It was infuriating! Your customers deserve better. My family and I deserve better. I won’t return.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I followed up with our management team and want to sincerely apologize for the experience you and your family had. Our valued guests deserve nothing less than exceptional service, and I completely agree that we fell short in this instance. That’s why we didn’t hesitate to cover your entire bill as a gesture of goodwill and acknowledgment of the error. Your patronage means a great deal to us, and I would truly appreciate any additional feedback on how we could have made things right. Zoe Gilreath General Manager

    We had a birthday dinner and the staff was very sweet. Chole was training Brynn, a new server, and they both did a great job and were very attentive to us. She did an excellent job in explaining the service to Brynn. They were both very friendly and my mother in law felt very special on her 91st Birthday.

    We spent $150 on cold food that was lack luster to say the least. Drinks were full of ice and short on the booze. We ordered the calamari which is the one thing that came out hot and tasted good. It was downhill from there. The blackened shrimp has no seasoning. Idk where the “blackened” went. The scallops were undercooked. The salad was wilted. The broccolini was cold and wilted. The mash potatoes had a strange flavor and the risotto tasted like liquid bacon smoke. We did enjoy the free corn bread. This was the second and last time we will be eating here.

    We’re truly sorry to hear about your recent experience at The Pump House. It’s disappointing to know that so many aspects of your meal didn’t meet expectations, especially on a return visit. That’s not the standard we strive for, and we sincerely apologize. We appreciate the detailed feedback—it’s important and helps us understand where we need to improve, from the food temperature and seasoning to drink quality and presentation. If you’re willing, we’d be grateful if you could share a bit more about your experience, so we can review this further with our team. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know. Sincerely, The Pump House Management

    Appetizers were good but entrees were poor. Pork chop was ordered pink but was overcooked to well done plus. Trout was also overcooked and no longer flakey. Do not plan to return.

    All six of us enjoyed our Easter meal at the Pump House. We had a beautiful view of the river and the noise level was good - we could all talk together. There was no feeling of being rushed with our three-courses. The servers helping our waiter Noah delivered the wrong dish to a few of us; maybe a learning opportunity. But the overall service especially from Noah was excellent. We will definitely come back. We had a really wonderful Easter experience.
