| - I have mixed feeling about this saloon. I'll lay it all out there and let you sort it out.
My wife and I ended up here without intentionally setting out to do so. We were out with another couple for dinner and they suggested we pop in because there was a band playing and they were supposed to be good.
When we arrived and got settled in, I was impressed, it's big and spacious, that appeals to me, I very much dislike being shoulder to shoulder anywhere I go. The bar was easy to access from every location in the bar / band stage area.
Here's where the mixed feelings come in. Every time we ordered a drink either from the bartender or a cocktail waitress, it almost felt like I was doing them a favor. Now don't get me wrong, the service was NOT bad, it just wasn't friendly. IN fact, if i was so rate the service alone, I would give it a 4.5 stars.
Then the band began playing, and where another mixed feeling for this review pokes its head. The music was RIDICULOUSLY loud and sounded like it was bouncing off all the walls and settling down in a mish mash of sounds squarely in my ears. Again, i'm not saying the band was not good, all i'm saying about the music, was it was very annoying loud and not received clear and crisp to me.
So in closing.... this one was a hard one to write because i can't say that they did anything wrong at all, I can definitely say there is room for improvement if customer comfort is the goal. The Saloon operates well, the staff is competent and trained and the bar saloon itself is in good shape and clean.
I suppose this is one of those places that if you talk to 25 people you'll probably have a split opinion right down the middle.
