I ask her to put it back down . And she states that this bar is big enough where I could move. So as a paying customer I was to move. I was there since 700pm and it is 900pm . There is 7 people in the bar. They made me move as a paying customer . It's 11?1000pm maybe 12 is in the bar. She should of accommodated my needs. And shut the door. But I eventually had to leave because it was cold. I was not the only one in there that was. I just think that's wrong. ​

It's connected to the Roberts Centre and so is very convenient, especially during this hot and humid day. You don't even need to walk outdoors,, which is a huge relief because the heat outside was hitting us like the Human Torch's Nova blasts tbh. We were instantly seated at a quiet and comfy booth. The restaurant is very modern and spacious. Like Iron Man's tech and Stark Tower (okay, maybe not as tall). It has an automobile theme to it, so it's really fun! It honestly felt like we were just chilling right inside Tony Stark's personal garage with all his flashy cars. Lindsay was our server and was extremely friendly and fast and efficient. She checked on it us a couple of times and even had the check ready to go when our meals were served. She was basically zooming around the tables faster than Quicksilver. That's a good sign that the restaurant understands how busy conference goers can be. Of course, that was not to rush us at all, but it can always save time when you're going to be busy con conventions. She really had that Captain America level of tactical planning to keep things moving for us. I had the sirloin which was tender and moist. My partner had a fish and chips which were crispy and the fish was what's tender and flaky. Everything was cooked so perfectly it was almost like Scarlet Witch used some chaos magic in the kitchen to get the flavors exactly right. Maybe with a sprinkling of Doctor Strange magic too! Would definitely come back and may even head back later today!

Amazing food and terrific service! Best steak in town and who doesn't love a stocked salad bar?read more

We visited on a Friday evening around 7:30pm for perspective. Just the two of us for a late dinner…read more The restaurant wasn't busy, but a modest number of patrons were inside. Upon check in, the hostess informed me it would be about a 20 min wait. No big deal. Within 15 mins or less I'd say our pager went off and we were shown our table. 2. Food * Starter: Mozzarella sticks * Entree: Ribeye (advertised as house special) * Entree: Filet Mignon * Sides: Fries, Baked Potato and included salad bar Starter was above average, hot and freshly made, good structure. Mozzarella sticks seem hard to mess up but honestly, it happens. Our server did mention that marinara was unavailable (not sure if that day or in general) Ribeye: Ordered medium rare, came out medium to medium well. Taste was mediocre at best, more grill grate less ribeye flavor. Out of 10, I would say 4/10. Filet Mignon: Expectations were high but a huge miss. Ordered medium, came medium. Flavor was far below expectations for this cut of meat. My wife described this as "dog food flavor." For the price ($39) this was disappointing. Sides: Sides were average. Fries were pretty standard, comparable to frozen fries that you'd throw in your air fryer at home. Baked potato was good (thankfully). Salad bar is included with dinner. Basic green mix with a basic offering of toppings. I would say everything was replenished when needed. 3. Service * Staff was average to friendly, from hostess to server. Average attentiveness and came to the table probably 3-4 times during service. One item to note: kitchen window/bar prep area is very close to salad bar. While at the salad bar, a group of servers were all chatting and talking about the customers they had currently or earlier in the shift. One server had a table she strongly disliked, and had no problem making that known amongst her peers. I understand back of house conversations happen, but in close proximity to customers seemed in poor taste. I left wondering what was being said if anything about us after we departed. TL;DR: if you're gonna talk shit about customers, try not to do it around your current ones. 4. Atmosphere * The location is wonderful. Quiet country charm with a distant scenic overlook of the spillway itself. It's a beautiful spot and the grounds are well maintained. Other reviews mentioned the interior as dated, my impression was it's very old style steakhouse/lodge inspired. It could use some updates sure, but I didn't think it was the focus of the night. 5. Overall value * Was it worth the price? No. One starter, two entrees and one domestic beer brought the bill to $97 before tip. A decent meal can be had for less with far superior food. I think the impression I walked away with is that this place has so much potential, and may have been great at one time but standards have since slipped. The location and feel was great, but the reason people come and want to come back is the food, and that left much to be desired. 6. Recommendation * Would you return? Likely no, this was a one and done in my book. Unless something changed and they revitalized their menu and or kitchen strategy. I never say never, but we left feeling mildly satisfied with about $100 less than we walked in with.

Not impressed with any of the sauces or rubs though, and the blue cheese comes in a packet (uck). Husband ordered fried chicken sandwich but enjoyed the burger he received, so expect surprises. A little put off by the server's bare toes in sandals (feet ) and belly-baring halter top, but she was fast and friendly. Overall a decent experience. We will return.

I was in the area yesterday for work, got home and decided to go back today to try it out. We tried the Cubano sandwich with onion rings, the Caesar Salad with fried chicken, and the fried pickles. First off, the pickles are out of this world good! They are smothered in batter I've never had before. They aren't your typical thinly sliced pickled with no batter. They are a good solid slice and the batter is thicker than normal. So many of them that we brought half home. The salad with candied bacon was so dang good! The kick the candied bacon had was...wow! The cubano sandwich was thick! And let's not forget the atmosphere. It's hard to find a place with so much character that doesn't cost a car payment to eat at. To top it off, our server, Jocelyn C was great! She was so attentive to us, made sure we had refills, brought our food quickly and offered boxes to go. She was pleasant and it felt like she wanted to be at work on a Saturday! Thank you Jocelyn! We'll certainly be back to try more food!
