mediocre service, lazy servers, poor food quality, a challenge to get attention, we had to get up several times to find our server for beverages, and the place was not busy, bummer.

We enjoyed the excellent food & friendly service! I think the outside patio would have made this a perfect 5 star experience now that the Summer weather has arrived.

Apparently they have changed all Kitchen staff and is owned by someone else now Food is below par !! I knew immediately when I saw my husband‘s beef stroganoff on his plate that something had changed. It tasted awful presentation was awful. I asked for a steak salad. The steak was tough as Nails. It was such a disappointment. They used to have such good food. I hope they get it together

There was a great vibe and music. Our severs were all incredibly attentive. Something happened in the kitchen so we waited 45 minutes for our food, but they really tried to compensate for the crazy wait.

The Sawyer is a lively and fun place to dine. Service is excellent. We had the beef stroganoff, portobello mushroom on brioche bun, cheesy loaf were all made to perfection. Yum! Special shout out to the cheesy loaf— we would go back just for that. It is that good! While the room was full of energy, the entire experience was relaxing and we got to enjoy our meal and have nice conversation. Our server did a great job! And we were never rushed. We had a wonderful night. We will be back!
