When we were ready to leave my husband told the bar tender "do not charge my card here is the cash for bill" Well they did charge his card and when we tried to call and clear it up no one ever got back to him. I had done a Google review of them and they sent a message back saying "we have contacted your card company and you should be seeing a refund in a few days" IT NEVER HAPPENED. So instead of just paying $82 we actually paid $164. I am glad we do not live close because we would never go back.

There were 7 shrimp that were larger than you'd normally get at any restaurant, and the grits were cooked and prepared properly. There was cauliflower in the grits which added a very nice, unusual texture and flavor. Overall, the portions were large and served hot. The wife had the soup de jour, Cream of Brussel Sprouts, and an order of jalapeno corn bread, both of which were very good. Their draught beer selection is limited, but they offer flights of four 5 oz glasses for $13, which I thought was fair. The service was very good, and the place is clean.

After my neighbor proposed going here for dinner, I took a closer look at the menu and quickly realized this was not the case. It's spans a Spectrum of American, Asian and other cuisines which is a good amount of versatility. When we came we ended up being the only people here which we were not complaining about (thanks COVID). Service was great as you could expect, and I appreciate the classic details inside. Beer list was very good, with a handful of tap options and a longer bottle list. Lots of local options included as well which is great to see. Even so, mixed drinks are probably the highlight. Pours for Manhattans/Martinis etc are done table-side, are made strong, and are filled so much to the brim that you'll practically need a straw to drink them at first. We got mozzarella and tomatoes like good Italians, and added sweet chili sriracha cauliflower wings. The former was a very nice and simple rendition of this classic. The second I was thinking would be like buffalo cauliflower which I've had elsewhere, however the cauliflower was fried with the sauce served on the side; nevertheless it was a hit. For my main I got the gumbo with brown rice. This was a good portion with plenty of chicken and shrimp. It didn't appear that the chicken/shrimp had been cooked in the sauce and I would've liked to have more crawfish, however it was nice and satisfying as any gumbo should be. I'm also used to gumbo being spicy so I probably should've asked; I had gotten this as a healthier option, and it definitely did the job from that standpoint. The brandy chicken and shrimp was a similar dish with a seemingly richer sauce, so I may do that next time. Also my father in laws fish and chips looked insane, with 2 massive fillets and what appeared to be the right batter for this traditional British dish. Would definitely come back again. Food is good, but I loved the vibe and the drinks.

I saw another review that you could have a wedding here and I agree. The service was nice-- we had two servers-- one sister training the other? I attempted to order a drink twice-- they had neither in stock-- before getting a Diet Coke. The big area of opportunity here is the food. My husband ordered the scallop risotto, which came... wet. It looked like rice swimming in water-- the flavor was similar, unfortunately. The cook on the scallops ranged widely in the dish. I ordered the salmon-- the cook on the salmon was nice but the quinoa was inedible, as were the veggies it was served with. Our meal was late and it felt like the food was held over from earlier preparations. We got the bread pudding, which was fine-- but the proportion of ice cream to pudding ratio was way off. The restaurant has so much potential but the food is the big problem to solve for, in my opinion.

We'll preface this review by saying that an experience this poor usually starts with ownership or…read moremanagement and trickles down to the staff. Who knows what the employees have to deal with on a day-to-day basis to result in service this bad. We were extremely disappointed with our experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff came across as rude and unwelcoming. We asked if we could sit at one of the tables closest to the waterfall, and the response was simply, "Well, it's dirty." Mind you, about 90% of the restaurant was empty. We expected something like, "No problem, give us a moment to clean it off." We're very easygoing and would have completely understood waiting a few minutes. Instead, that interaction set the tone for the rest of the meal. We even pitched in to help the bussing staff. When our waitress finally returned, she immediately said, "Oh, you don't have menus? You forgot them. I know I already gave them to you along with your place settings." Apparently it was a set-your-own-table experience. At that point, it almost felt like we were expected to bring our own service as well. The food quality was underwhelming--We've had better charcuterie on a plane--especially considering the prices. Several ingredients that were listed as part of the dishes were missing. When we asked the busser about it, she said she would check with the kitchen, but she never returned with an answer or any follow-up. Honestly, we would have expected the server to check back regardless, but other than taking our initial order, she never returned to our table, even when we tried to wave her over. So yes no one came back after our food was served to ask how everything was, whether we needed anything, or to address the missing ingredients. Once our order was delivered, we were completely forgotten. Good service means checking on your guests, addressing concerns, and making sure they're enjoying their meal. None of that happened during our visit. When we finally approached the manager, the first response was, "Well, did you eat any of the food?" Yes--we each had a couple of bites of the kale Caesar because we were starving, despite it being served without the advertised pork belly, which was the main ingredient. We had already tried to address our concerns in real time, but no one ever followed up. We're far from people who leave negative reviews. In fact, we think this is only the second bad restaurant review we've ever written. The experience was simply that disappointing. Overall, the combination of rude service, poor management, disappointing food quality, missing ingredients, and a complete lack of follow-through made for an incredibly frustrating dining experience. Unfortunately, we can't recommend this restaurant, and we won't be returning. The view is absolutely gorgeous, but you're better off grabbing a sandwich somewhere else and enjoying it from the nearby bridge.

Thankfully…read moreit wasn't too annoying to get a reservation and we found the spot to be busy and popular among locals and tourists alike. Walking in we were seated promptly though we immediately noticed that the interior was extremely dark. Not a big deal but worth flagging for older folks who might have a hard time reading. Our server was friendly and relatively attentive and walked us through the menu. We started off with some classics including their bread and butter (which was tasty and delicious) and ordered their P.E.I Mussels ($19) along with their Fried Brussels Sprouts ($15) to share. The portions were quite large for everything (great if you're in a larger party) but we immediately noticed that the mussels they served seemed a bit off. Many of them were not opened all the way (a sign that they might not be the freshest or recently passed) and had a bit of a fishy taste to them. We ended up not finishing them and flagged them to our waiter. The other items, including the 14oz Ribeye ($43) and baby back ribs ($28) were better, though a bit one-note. The bay back ribs in particular were extremely saucy and the corn bread was dry and a bit tough to eat. I had to use a knife to split it apart as it kept crumbling every time I used a fork. Regardless, it seems like a popular spot for a reason and perhaps we just went during more of an off-night. I'd still recommend checking it out but avoiding the mussels if you go.

We also had wonderful service from several staff members throughout our meal, so well taken care of. We started with the House-Made Pierogi, the onions are cooked down in butter and sage, the brown butter hits with richness, cool sour cream, then the pierogi melt in your mouth. The texture of the pierogi itself, is tender and pillowy, so the experience isn't just rich flavor, the experience is the texture as well. I had the roast chicken, which comes with whipped potatoes and carrots. A simple dish, packed with incredible flavor. The meat was moist and tender, the skin crisp, the cook spot on. The potatoes, might be Idaho, because the potatoe flavor really comes forward towards mid-bite. The buttery carrots are paired nicely with mint flavor. The sauce is Porcini-Tarragon cream, a very nice choice, really compliments the meal. I was impressed, and I think it speaks volumes to take a simple dish, impart it with rich flavor, technique, and to elevate it. My husband had the lobster spaghetti, but he's currently unavailable for my review. The ambiance is dimly lit, dark colors- rich like their flavors, some brick, and the volume lively. We sat by a window, which was nice at 730 for end of summer twilight. Next visit we'll make our reservation for the patio, which would have been lovely at that time, but we booked short notice- and felt very fortunate to get a table for such a phenomenal restaurant. I keep thinking back, and I'm pretty blown away. It couldn't have been any more perfect. We had an event prior, at Opus 40, Red Onion was the cherry on top! It was my birthday :)
