   Friendly staff but the service needs polishing.

   Torn about how many stars to give this place. The setting is fabulous, and my meal (the blackened grouper sandwich) was delicious. Was with a party of 4 at 6:30 on a weeknight. The service was comically bad. Our server was pleasant, but we had to really make an effort to get his attention at every turn. It was happy hour, but we were immediately told that they were out of all of the happy hour wines. I ordered one of the cold-pressed juice options. Long after my tablemates received their cocktails, the server returned to tell me they were out of the ingredients to make my drink. OK. I ordered a different beverage - the Grapeshot. A bit later the server returned - couldn't do that one either. I opted for water. Two of us really loved our dishes, my sandwich and my tablemate's hamburger. Two of us enjoyed but didn't rave about theirs - the kale quinoa salad with chicken, and the shaved ribeye sandwich. An order of brussels sprouts never appeared. Ordered a cup of gelato for dessert and it never appeared. Asked about it multiple times and was eventually offered it in a to-go cup as we were leaving. Two of our four checks had errors. Am guessing that the steady use by members, as well as folks there for an event will keep this place afloat because there are so few options close by. But if this were a stand-alone restaurant, the service would sink it very quickly.

   I had reservations and we were seated immediately. Food is great and service staff is nice. However wait times to get food and drinks was really bad. We belong to TSJ and eat here infrequently bc of this, even though the food is delicious. There’s some kind of misconnect about how food is made bc it takes so long 45-60 min.

   nearly every entree was sold out...waitress forgot to bring the sides, the drinks, super slow service, steak was cooked nicely but by the time the plate made it to my table everything was cold... i guess at least they comped our appetizer and cocktails when they removed the undelivered side and drink... won’t be racing back

   The food was actually pretty good - once it finally came out. We were there for an hour before it came out. For a facility that advertises having a meal in conjunction with sporting events, that’s a really long time to get a salad and a burger. The place was not crazy busy, but the servers seem to operate on a zone defense plan, which, combined with the slow kitchen, really impacted our enjoyment of the meal or sporting events that night. The management was very apologetic and adjusted our bill, which was the right thing to do, but better to pick up the pace on food instead. hopefully over time they will work out the kinks, because it’s a great facility.

   Waaaaayyyyyyy too expensive for what you get. We ordered 2 salads (with one skewer of meat each), two kids meals, and an order of sweet potato fries....bill was $75 w/ tip. We had no drinks either. Didn't have much of a choice to go there for dinner, as our child was playing in a hockey tournament at The St James. Food was good enough, but should have cost $25 less.
