| - Let me start off by saying that I would have given this place 3 stars, but for one thing. I think we all agree that when one tips at a restaurant, the tip, whatever its magnitude, should be against the amount of food and drink BEFORE tax, not including tax. When I received the bill for our dinner last night the restaurant's printed bill was kind enough to state the dollar value of different percentages of tip, but it was calculated against the entire amount, including tax. I think, the restaurant should change that. I used to design point-of-sale systems, so I know this is not a big deal to accomplish. Be sure that you all look at such bills everywhere you go and make sure you tip only against the subtotal BEFORE tax.
That having been said, the service was great, in every way. No complaints at all. The food - different story. My wife ordered the special fresh trout and the fish was really good - well done and hot when delivered. She also opted to pay $2.49 extra to upgrade her salad to a Caprese. Wrong move. The Caprese was just a small cup of raw chopped tomatoes with not enough mozzarella, olive oil or basil added. Her wild rice was very dry and flavorless. Could have used some spices and butter or sauce of some sort. My wife also ordered cheesecake, which was acceptable. My fish and chips may be the worst I have ever had, although the portion was appropriate. But the fish was certainly frozen, dry and overcooked, no flavor at all. My fries were also nothing to write home about, just average. On the other hand their biscuits are wonderful!!! Probably won't go back.
