| - Awful.
My father and I took my mom to the Cabin restaurant for a special birthday dinner, but it was not to be. We had 8:00 reservations for the main dining room by the bar, which we specially asked for because of their holiday decorations. When we arrived however, there were no tables available and we were seated at the bar until one cleared up. Things happen, so far no big deal.
Around 8:45 we were finally seated, and though attention from our waitress, Cindy, was a bit on the lax side, we got our orders in and finished our drinks from the bar.
And waited. And waited. I think we were checked up on once during the hour between our seating and our meal arriving.
Finally, around 9:45 our meals came out after we reminded the waitress how long it had been. Mine was warm but not hot, but my father's $38 Delmonico steak was cold. It was sent back, but since they were sold out they offered him a filet (which later came out with half the amount of sides that the original dish had. It was also a whole dollar less). We got a brief "I'm sorry" and an excuse that all three dining rooms were full and the kitchens were at full capacity - except our dining room was perhaps 30% full. After a shrug our waitress vanished again.
We pointed out our concerns to the maitre'd and got another curt apology, but not much else. For a total bill that came out north of $130, given the service and the disappointents we were hoping for a comped bill, or at the very least an offer of a dessert or something, but no such luck.
For years my family has been coming here, and until tonight we were quite fond of it. It seems, however, that management has gotten complacent in their position as one of the better restaurants in the area and let things slide. Unfortunately I think we'll be looking elsewhere in the future.
