| - lets start with your parking choices. Valet up by the front door with the disabled parking or climb up the mountain from the bottom lot. Sounds bad but I was thankful for my Mom's disabled parking tag.
I do have to give it props for atmosphere (do people give props anymore?) the view is great, the drinks were tasty (long island iced tea) and the staff mostly attractive.
I ordered the prime rib, it has some fancy name for the size like "ranch hand" it was the 16 ouncer done medium well. It was done to perfection with the exception of the fact it was cold, visualize 16 oz slices of medium well prime rib sitting in a 90% oven waiting to be ordered.
The veggies were piping hot and the baked beans were tasty. My mom later claimed that her chicken wasn't very good and my Dad liked his steak OK, but nothing to go back for. Since it was my Aunts B-Day we all just went with the flow (she thought she was paying). BBQ? There wasn't a smokey flavor to anything other than the beans, my Dad's steak didn't have any "BBQ" flavor.
There was a "good" (is there good country music?) by good I mean talented, live country band that allowed a few very good guests to sing, while people scooted their boots, young and old. This was fun to watch.
For the price, I would expect much better food. But if you go, go to have a good time, around folks also having a good time and don't expect the best food ever. P.S. don't be a wuss, and take the slide down to the dining area.
