I came here last night with the family to have a birthday dinner for my dad. There were 5 of us in total so when we arrived we had to grab a table and add it on the another set to accommodate us since we are supposed to seat ourselves. We sat down and most of our night was spent waiting and then waiting some more.
We were told that they were short staffed because the bartender called in so there were only two people trying to take care of the whole front end of things. Unfortunately, that was not our problem and it's bad for business. We had to wait at least 15 minutes just to get a menu and never even received a drink menu. This caused a problem when I asked for what was available in a sauvignon blanc. I was recommended what I thought would be an average priced option, but when I got the bill it turned out to be $16.40 for a 9oz glass. Also when I first received my glass of wine it was closer to 5oz than 9 oz so I had to ask for the difference. My dad also mentioned that his beer was a little flat.
When we put in our drink order, even that took much longer than it should to receive one pint, one glass of wine and three waters. Finally our server came to tell us the specials for the day and we couldn't risk having to wait any longer so we just ordered right away. This also failed as my dad had ordered a full rack of ribs and 15-20 minutes later we were told that they had run out. In my opinion, they should have been aware of this before my dad even ordered.
As for the food, everyone seemed satisfied with their meals once we finally got them. The liver was cooked perfectly to a medium finish. The parmesan crusted chicken and the lemon chicken were both good, but we felt the portion size was rather small. The beef bourguignon that my dad ordered as a replacement was fine, but he had also had it from here before. The caesar salad looked and was better than the sandwich my brother ordered.
We also asked if we could get a dessert in celebration of my Dad's birthday so we got a chocolate lava cake for him on the house so that was nice.
This place is lucky that it's the only sit down restaurant in the plaza, but even so we won't be returning again. I will mention that our server Emma was working really hard to make the best of the situation. I do, however, think it is a bit overpriced for what it is. I would also recommend getting better menus than the paper ones they currently use. If the food wasn't half decent, this place would have gotten a 1 star review from me.
