| - I have given this place a shot 4-5 times and i think its because i want it to be my spot and I anticipate improvement, given that they haven't been open that long. I frequent the park, I am an avid biker and runner and this place could be AWESOME. Unfortunately, it has not lived up to expectations. Every time we try this place, some new problem comes up. Whether its a long wait (1-2 hours), servers being over worked and not attentive, receiving our apps before our drinks (water and tea) or having an issue with the food (although usually pretty consistent), there is always something! It actually is really confusing to me why the wait is so long but there are 4-5 tables available!!! My guess is the kitchen gets backed up and they stop seating people or the servers already have 5-7 tables each.
With a well trained, experienced, appropriately staffed staff, I could see this place flourishing regardless of the average food. However, the bartenders are clearly stressed and don't seem to work efficiently, mostly because they aren't very knowledgeable of the beer (Good selection of drafts) and cocktails offered. The servers and bus kids are not on the same page and the hostesses are having trouble managing the large amount of tables.
This is a great location and I will likely continue to give this place a shot, however, in the future it will likely be on nights when a don't have any other commitments and won't be annoyed at the long wait for a table or food.
My recommendation would be to stop in for beers at the bar and find a spot to stand or sit on the patio while you wait for a table. Typically there is a picnic table on the back patio that doesn't seem to be used for dinning.
