The Deck! Beautiful evening to dine outside, gaze over the river, people watch and enjoy some…read moresimply tasty food! Expect a wait...no matter what time you go!! The Beer Garden is a nice place to hang out while you wait. Though the seats are all wood and low to the ground. The Philly Steak and cheese was piled high with tender and moist beef. Not a lot of seasoning to the meat. The au jus provided some enhanced beef flavoring. The bun was relatively soft while maintaining a toughness that made it nice to dip without falling apart. I thought the sandwich would come with more peppers and ooze with cheese, but it did not. The Mac & cheese was just kinda there. It didn't do much to ramp up the tastes. The noodles were very soft - almost squishy. There was a mild amount of sauce to the noodles. I would prefer more...enough that you would want to dip the bread in the leftover sauce. The cheddar cheese that laid on top didn't stick to the noddles...it just peaked off. My wife loved her Burrito Americana sandwich. Lots of moist chicken and fresh fillings. Overall there are plenty of simple and diverse things on this menu! The Deck had plenty of help to move people along. Though they didn't push you out. It was nice to just enjoy the food, company, nature and the dinning experience. The Deck is a Fort Wayne icon if you have not been there!l

So we requested a specific table, made it clear we did NOT care about how long the wait was. We…read morewaited 45 minutes for "our" table then watched a birthday party get sat at the table we just waited for. When I inquired, I was told they "didn't know" there was a larger party ahead of us. The hostesses.....didn't know......there was a table ahead of us. So...... They sat a party of 4 (not everyone was there until 35 minutes after their party was seated) at the table we just waited 40 minutes for and didn't bother to come tell us. The manager admittedly misspoke several times as did the hostess. We come to an agreement then waited ANOTHER 45 minutes before we get sat. So we are at separate tables (which we didn't want) and now we have seperate servers.... Ok great.... One tables server shows up almost immediately the other shows up 15 minutes later. We get a round on the house for the "misunderstanding" with the initial seating. We all order. I order a salad with an extra breadstick. 30 minutes later, Everything comes out except my salad. Of course something else goes wrong. Apparently, my salad was given to another table. So ANOTHER 20 minutes goes by, everyone was about finished with their food, and my salad shows up, chicken very well done and no extra breadstick. I ask for a box, reminding the server about the extra breadstick, because everyone else is done eating and we are all absolutely DONE being there (6:15-9:45). 15 minutes later, there is a problem with our bill. Just ours. Not anyone else's. Just ours. The second table with us has already checked out. No one acknowledges that the entire experience was At this point, wtf else Could go wrong. Seriously. No one acknowledges all of the bullshit that has happened with the lack of service for 20 minutes, the "policies" that only apply to certain people and the continued lack of accountability. We tried to come together as a family to honor my mother and remember her last day on this earth. We tried to be patient and wait for the perfect table, we tried to stay positive and "roll with it" Ultimately, this was the WORST experience I have ever had here and I've been coming here since late 2002. Very disappointed. If the seating were the only issue, I wouldn't even say anything. Mistakes happen AND they made it right. However, the continued "mistakes" and lack of awareness by the staff make the entire experience disheartening. The LEAST you could do, is your job and it seems that was difficult. I appreciate what the manager said and did to make the seating "mistakes" correct. It ended there. I can't review my food because I never got the chance to eat it.
