The Lodge is a pretty low key place. It's great to go there to just hang out with friends. There's a pool table and darts in the back and if you go outside you can play bags (ie. cornhole). It doesn't normally get too crowded, however, it can feel busy. Nicole was our server and she was great. The only thing is, I feel like she was all over the place, especially at the end when we were ready to close out our tabs. That's the ony time we had a problem. It seems like The Lodge needs to hire more staff, so their current staff doesn't have to be running from one side of the restaurant to the other. I was very impressed by Nicole's attentiveness, though. There were over 30 people in our group (we had reserved the back room) and she managed to keep everyone's bills in order. I thought that was amazing, usually servers have difficulty doing that with huge groups. I don't even remember having to tell her what tab to put my drinks on. She just knew.
