    My first drink came way too late. I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich and it was dry and bland. The server never asked if I wanted another drink. Just a disappointing experience.

    This is our third or forth time dining at this facility. We were very excited to invite friends with promises of the best ribeye steak in town. Unfortunately, we did not pick the best night. In addition to slow service, we were informed the facility ran out of ribeye steaks after ordering what felt like 20mim earlier. We were offered to substitute one steak for another cut. The three steaks that arrived were not cooked as ordered - the ribeyes were medium as opposed to medium well as we have had multiple times in the past. The additional cut was not nearly as good. We did not make a fuss as we were schedule to head over to the Strathmore for a concert and felt it would have take too long to work through the issues. In short - please restore the Summer House we so enjoyed in the past. We suspect it was a busy night for the crew and they just were not able to show their best work.

    Summer House is consistently good - both food and service-wise. It has a lot of outdoor seating for when the weather is cooperative, is lively and very popular. They also have gluten and dairy free options and the chef takes this seriously, so I am comfortable eating there

    The food was very mediocre — runny scrambled eggs, inedible hash browns, really hard English muffin. Our waitress was sweet and energetic, but the place was packed and I think she was slammed. It’s definitely loud, so kind of hard to have a conversation.

    Ordered the trout and when I asked if I could get a vegetable with it, I was told that it came with string beans even thought they were not listed on the menu. When it came, there were no beans but celery remoulade. I asked about the string beans and the server insisted that the celery was in fact string beans and he quickly left the table. I was shocked at his curt reply and quick exit. I know a string bean from celery - apparently, the server did not and he didn't care to ask whether there was something else (a side salad maybe) that he could get for me. The trout was cold too. Service was slow. Overall, the dinner experience was disappointing and I'm not likely to return. Bummer.

    We got there for our 11:30am reservation and food took over an hour to arrive despite the restaurant not being full. In the meantime, the waitress apologized and asked if we’d like a cookie while we wait. She charged us for the cookie on the bill, which took another 15 minutes to even get the bill. Would not return.

    Summer House is our meeting place for our ladies lunch about 4x a year. We always have a great time, and enjoy the varied menu, including vegan options, Thank you. The service is consistently excellent , an we didn't feel rushed. I had the Vegan Breakfast Burrito, delicious , and instead of fries I asked for a side of vegetables, so for an extra price, I got Brussels sprouts. The coffee is always good. We plan to return as it's also very centrally located and convenient. Lovely restaurant.

    Poor food quality and service. My wife ordered a Poke; poor taste/flavor compared to Poke in the past which was very tasty. My breakfast had potato patty that was supposed to be well done. The potato was just warm and not browned. It was sent back. The server said when he First brought it to the table that it didn’t look well done. Each time we wanted a drink refill we had to wait. The food and the service was disappointing. We have eaten at Summer several times; this was our worst experience.

    A few girlfriends and I attended their special Fall Happy Hour event on 10/17/23 and it was great! For $60 (including gratuity) we had 2 drinks and access to a charcuterie board, 2 types of chili with fixings, a smores treat and a candy apple bar. There weren't many people who prepaid for the event but I would certainly go again!
