In the end it was a different waitress that gave us our food. And when the bill came there was no discount as an acknowledgement of our poor experience. It will be a long time before we go back.

She is a superb server and human. All the servers helped each other out which was awesome and a great team environment. I had the desert duo for dessert - yummmmm House Chardonnay which was surprisingly delicious. And green salad with salmon added. The salmon was meh but the salad was so yummy so it made up for it.

My friend and I were exploring Airforce Beach and midwalk she declared she was craving a Reuben…read moresandwich. Starving myself I agreed that would be pretty tasty right now we were going to go to Courtenay to look for one but as we were passing the Griffin she suggested we go there. I hadn't been for a few years so agreed when she mentioned she had been with her daughter recently and it was good. Oddly the couple setting next to us were having a Reuben and it looked amazing. They suggested we split one as it was quite large. So we did that and added a side salad in addition to the fries. Good choice! The server was super friendly although she did disappear near the end for over 20 minutes and we eventually went up to the bar to pay our bill. So for the half sandwich and a soda water and a tip it was $28 if I recall correctly. The sandwich was good, as were the fries and salad and I would definitely go again.

For the most part it was very good, but fell short of a five star experience. With reservations we were seated quickly in the restaurant which was decorated for the holiday season. First thing I noticed is haw far I sunk into the seat, and I'm not a big dude. Second thing I noticed was the dirty wine glass in front of the lovely K. They took it away when it was noted with another off the table, but did not replace them. Our guests arrived and as locals they had been here on occasion and spoke highly of the place. Drinks were ordered and came out along with a bottle of wine. Still only two wine glasses, which our waiter offered to fetch, but I just gave mine to K. Should've already been dealt with. Both couples ordered the Caesar salad which we were told was big enough to share, and was. Pretty good salad, but the romaine was left large enough you had to cut it with a knife to get it anywhere close to bite sized. The entrees were good, a couple of chicken two ways, a lamb, and an eight ounce strip loin. My chicken was a little over and had no real carbohydrate on the plate. K's steak was cut right down the middle, for presentation, which she does not like as the steak cools too quickly. Overall it was good, not fantastic. I also noted the AC/ heat above our table needed a vacuum as it was very dusty, a little thing, but it's blowing air down on us. We'd give it another go, but there are things to improve upon.

Our server was young, but you could tell she knew her stuff. She kept our water glasses full along with all the other guests. The menu is pretty vast, without being too big. Plenty to choose from with a great sounding special and soup of the day. There really is something to please everyone. Our drinks were cold, and to food we ordered was great. The lovely K got the clam chowder and a starter Caesar salad. Both were very good with the starter salad being larger than most large salads we get. I had the Mediterranean falafel and the soup of the day which was split pea with ham. Both were excellent. The Stella I ordered was a full pint, not something I see every day, they are typically 500 mls. All in all we thought it was outstanding, and will most definitely be back!
