| - I gave 3 stars for the great atmosphere, service and beautiful [huge] outdoor patio. We enjoyed sitting at the bar near the patio (which will accommodate large group gatherings). The reason Dakota didn't get 5 stars is because the food is mediocre at best. We have been here twice now. Last time my cob salad was really lacking and not as described on the menu. I had to request a couple of items named on the menu. This visit my fiancee ordered the skirt steak as his entree. It is only a few tasteless thin strips of the steak on top of a pile of french fries. He ordered it medium-rare and it was well-done, tough and chewy, however, the chimmichuri sauce on the side was good. I ordered my hamburger with "salad" instead of french fries, which was a big pile of greens on the plate dumped out of a bag, nothing else. The grilled onions and provolone cheese that I paid $3 extra for (making it $16) were a thin slice of cheese and the amount of onions under the cheese was so small I couldn't even taste them. If they had been included, I probably wouldn't care so much, but you pay extra for them! (At least cheese should be included on a $13 hamburger.) To the restaurant's credit, the burger was cooked Medium as ordered, and Mike's entree was comped. Someone needs to rework the limited menu, and the kitchen needs a Chef's supervision and/or more talented cooks. I do need to comment on the EXCELLENT service we received from Madison, who was very pleasant and attentive.
