    We had a great night, relaxing and fun. We were out for a slow evening of listening to music and dining. The food, drinks and service were great...not rushed, but attentive. Laura...Amazing!! Laura is such a crowd pleaser. Not only a great vocalist, but she reads the crowd so well and is able to adjust what she sings to the likes of the crowd. She's the best!!!

    Although we reserved an outdoor table days in advance for our group of three, a couple was seated immediately after us at a much large table with the front-row view of the Garden ("they just came in and asked for a reservation") - even after we requested to move tables. Ridiculously slow service. At least 20 minutes before we could even order. Another half hour for the appetizer to arrive, and it was long gone before the entrees were even "fired off" (to the kitchen). Food was delicious, and beautifully presented. But relying on the magnificent view to replace service is not a good long-term plan, particularly if trying to get good reviews from local club members like us. As in the past, the gluten-free aspect of the menu was haphazardly marked, required discussion with the kitchen (via the server), and the staff are not well-trained. In all, what would normally be a 75-minute excursion (we only have one drink) ended up lasting two hours+, and had several sour notes.

    My reservation at the Rocks was 1/18, my reservation for the Grille was 1/19. The service was very good at both facilities. It took a LONG time for our food to be delivered at the “Rocks” which was closed and we were moved to the Grand View dining room instead. My food was lukewarm, my Thai noodles were mushy and obviously overcooked/heated. My companions did not complain about their food. We noticed every table was served their food in order of farthest to closest to the kitchen. The experience at the Grille on 1/19 was totally different. Fantastic service, food was promptly served and HOT! It was delicious. Kudos to the Grille and Grand View dining needs some work. Service was adequate but compared to the Grille not great.

    I have eaten here for 10 years, and this is the first time that I can say that the food for all of us was actually delicious. Good job in improving the quality of the food. Try the Bison steak or one of the salads. All tasty.

    Overall it was a lovely evening. Wonderful and attentive wait staff, great ambience with the fire and holiday decorations. The food was fine, better this time with perfectly cooked meat, wonderful green chili and decent side dishes.

    Very relaxing and unhurried so good for visiting with friends. We sat outdoors to enjoy the view. Was glad to see there is a half salad now on the menu and the dressing was very good.

    Food was terrible and expensive. Will not return (and I'm a member of the Club). I was embarrassed to bring my family.
