Been here a couple of times recently and had 2 completely different experiences. The 1st time was nice. We sat outside on the patio and listened to live music. The service and food were both pretty decent. They have a great outdoor bar, outdoor stage, and heaters on the patio for the nights it gets a lil chilly.
2nd time we went, we were very disappointed. We got to the restaurant shortly after 8pm and we're promptly seated. The waitress took our drink orders and we ordered an appetizer. The appetizer shows ups and we go to place our order. This all happens within 15 minutes of arriving. It's then that we are told that we will only be able to order fried foods because the kitchen has closed the grill. None of us were wanting fried food and I ask her to please check with the kitchen because we were not told this until now. She returns and says they can't turn the grill back on. We tell her we are leaving for another restaurant and this is ridiculous. She actually tells us that its really too late to be eating dinner. Haha, seriously?? She then expects us to pay our bill. I pay for the appetizer just to be done with it but refuse to pay for the drinks (non-alcohol) when we weren't even eating. We asked for a to go box for the appetizer that was worthless once getting home.
Because of this visit, The Patriot has probably lost our business permanently.
