There was…read moresome wait, but getting dinner probably took an hour or so and I made it out in time to see the sunset which was my goal. The menu here had some vegetarian selections and an emphasis on local produce. The miso-fried cabbage over fragrant jasmine rice was a preparation I hadn't had quite this way before; most reminiscent of Chinese sauteed cabbage I've gotten a few times. The smell was a bit too on the bitter side, but the taste was savory. There wasn't a lot of protein here, so I added a chickpea salad with fresh-tasting dill that did hit the spot. A beverage based on rosemary syrup delivered a ringing flavor as well. The menu didn't quite match my preferences; I noted the tofu-based option I saw online was not available when I got there in person, but I appreciated enough that they had something worthwhile to offer. As a hotel guest, there was a small coupon in my room for the restaurant which oddly disappeared on me.

We really enjoy the small plates here -- they're the perfect size and let us try more things off the menu. I do wish they would add a few more small-plate options to give us even more to choose from. I wasn't able to add any photos to this review since I've hit my 85-photo limit and need to delete older ones. Tonight my wife had the wedge salad with chicken fingers. Our guests had the fried cauliflower, chicken fingers, grilled chicken with fried potatoes. I had the chicken and biscuits. Everything was very good tonight. I do wish the wedge salad came on a slightly larger plate so it's not falling off the edge, but the flavors were excellent. As always, all the food we ordered was great. We also tried the seasonal dessert -- something similar to an apple crisp with cinnamon ice cream -- and it was delicious. I tried to post a picture, but again, I'm out of photo space. Overall, another excellent meal and great service. And as usual, it's always nice to see the owner walking around checking with us to make sure everything is okay.

Pros:Definitely the best spot in Colonial Beach for live entertainment. The MashUp band is great…read more Cons:The food is mediocre overall. The hostess said she would come find us when a table opened in the main entertainment area, but she never did. The marinated chicken on my salad was tasty, but it was the only good part--the salad itself was very basic, consisting of just lettuce and croutons. The buffalo wings were rubbery and not extra crispy as requested; the server even asked when she delivered them if they were crispy enough, so the request clearly wasn't forgotten. We ordered 10 but could only eat 2, and the rest were thrown away. The hush puppies were just okay, but they were small and dried out easily, needing butter to add both flavor and moisture. Overall:A fun spot for live music and atmosphere, but the food and service miss the mark. Come for the entertainment, not the dining experience.

When we first arrived we were the only ones in that section, and it was nice, but as more people came throughout the meal it got very loud inside. We ordered the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer for the table to share. This was the first time I've ever had them served this way with the rice and spinach, but it was a pretty good combination. I had the scallop risotto, it was a bit pricey for what you get, but not bad. The mixed drinks were just ok. While we were there they were repairing the wheelchair ramp, so a brand new one should be installed now.
