Went here for a so called Easter brunch buffet. For $20 I didn't see how it could go wrong. It…read morestarted at 12:30 and was supposed to go until 3:00. They ran out of many items by 1:00. They were literally telling people when seating them to pretty much go easy on their first round because there were over 100 people that needed to eat. People were assured after everyone went through it would be restocked. So that's what we did, and pretty much nothing was restocked. Had one rather small plate of food and left hungry. It was a joke. Not saying this place isn't great to grab a bite to eat or a few beers on a normal day, but for an Easter buffet they failed miserably. It was an annoying bust! I was under the impression this was the first year they did this so I wasn't going to leave a bad review. I figured they had some bugs to iron out- that assumption was incorrect. This was not the first year and based on that there is no excuse for how this was handled. If they do this again next year I wouldn't even consider going back. For $20 you would think it would be impossible to get ripped off, well think again!

Instead of simply turning us away, Jacob went above and beyond by offering us whatever was still available in the kitchen, which truly saved our evening. He was incredibly friendly, helpful, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a good experience. Employees like Jacob are exactly why customers come back and recommend a place to others. Excellent customer service, great attitude, and a perfect example of hospitality done right. Thank you, Jacob, for making us feel welcome. We will definitely be back! Simeon

I'd been here once before late night in the taproom with the smaller bar menu. That experience was fine. Not amazing, not bad--decent food, decent drinks, decent service. Very low-key and very different from this visit. So when we were nearby again before heading out to see Christmas lights, it felt like an easy, familiar option. Unfortunately, this time was a completely different story. Service was extremely slow from the start. It took nearly 30 minutes just to get drinks and an appetizer, and water refills were basically nonexistent. I eventually got up and refilled our water myself while watching the server refill other tables. We were there for almost 2.5 hours, which felt excessive given the pace and crowd level. Food was all over the place. Three meals had to be sent back. My BLT showed up with maybe two strips of limp bacon, soggy toast, wilted lettuce, and red peppers instead of the onions I asked for. Rather than remaking it, they just brought out two more equally limp strips of bacon. Two burgers ordered medium/medium-rare came out well done--even though the menu clearly shows doneness levels with photos, which made that miss even more confusing. On the bright side, the potato soup was excellent--probably the best thing we had--but it arrived lukewarm after a long wait. Other dishes like the scallops, Cajun Alfredo, and chicken sandwich were genuinely good, which just added to the confusion. A manager did drop off food and briefly acknowledge the issues, but there was no real apology or follow-up. I don't expect comps, but with this many problems and slow service, the lack of accountability was noticeable. Used plates from appetizers and sides that were clearly finished sat on the table for most of the meal. When dishes were cleared, the server often asked people who were still actively eating rather than removing the empty or stacked plates that were ready to go, which only added to the overall lack of attention and awareness. Between the inconsistent food, very slow service, and an overall lack of attention to detail, this visit just didn't work. It seems like one of those places where you might get a great meal--or you might spend hours wondering what went wrong. For now, it's firmly in the meh, proceed with caution category for me.
