My wife and I arrived at 5:45 PM to have dinner in the bar to take advantage of the Happy Hour drink prices. As I often do I ordered the ribs and chicken combo with mashed potatoes and carrots instead of beans. My wife has the Roast Chicken dinner, which she enjoyed. Carrots, as usual, were superb. Chicken was good as usual. However, after ordering ,the waitress (who will remain unnamed - actually I forgot her name - the name on the receipt I know was not hers) the waitress came back and said the mashed potatoes will not be ready to serve for another 30 minutes and asked if I would like to get the French Fries instead (they have excellent french fries). She said she will bring out the mashed potatoes when ready and if I am too far along in the meal she will box it for me to take home. I agreed. 1) Unfortunately the ribs were not the usual excellent consistent fare ... the meat stuck to the bones as if it was glued on. Once off the bone the meat was tender enough ... But not much of it. A major disappointment for the money I spent. 2) She never came with the mashed potatoes ... Not even boxed to take home. 3). She did not provide service ... The two or three times we requested help by either going to the bar to get someone or calling to another waitress who was happening to be walking by ... Someone else helped. But our waitress was not around and when I noticed she was getting something from the bar she did not look our way (perhaps management had too many tables assigned to her in the main dining room that she did not have time - therefore not her fault). Another experience like this and I will assume the level of service and quality of food has changed by design (cheaper input cost) in an attempt to improve their bottom line .. Which is never good for the customer ... I hope I am wrong."^^ . "0"^^ . .
