| - I had dinner here on Saturday night with friends. The restaurant has a casual atmosphere. We arrived at 6:00 and the place was busy. There was a 30-40 minute wait, but we noticed there were available tables both inside and out. We were told that the open tables were being held for customers with reservations. I get that. If I showed up and learned my table was not available I would go into my Seinfeld "you can take a reservation, but you can't hold a reservation" routine. So, that was okay. But, when we were finally seated, the hostess took us inside and there were open tables outside (our preference). When challenged, she told us it would be a longer wait but then hastily took us to a table on the patio. I thought she could have handled this better. Even when we left, there were still open tables! I recommend making a reservation to avoid being treated like a second class citizen.
My dinner was quite good. I ordered the V's Meatloaf. It was a thick slice of meatloaf served with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and topped with thin, fried onion straws. The meatloaf had a good flavor, and the mushroom gravy was spot on. The portion was huge, and I was stuffed after finishing almost all of it. The meatloaf and a Kilt Lifter beer were a good pairing. Kilt Lifter is a brown ale from a local microbrewery. My friends ordered the BBQ chicken pizza and Basil Chicken Pasta, and they both were pleased with their choices.
Overall, a nice experience. V's offers a good variety of entrees, and very reasonable prices. The bar is probably a good stop after a round on the Trilogy golf course.
