After shopping, we decided to have dinner at a local tavern. It's a small restaurant, and the…read moretables are quite close together, but not too close. The atmosphere is very pleasant and I really liked the decorations and lots of photos. It was quite noisy - there was a football game on, but my husband and I like this kind of atmosphere - otherwise we would go to sports bars. The food and drinks were typical bar fare, deliciously prepared. The chicken wings were generously sized, and the chicken sandwich with fries was perfectly prepared--juicy, on a crispy baguette. I didn't have time to take photos--only of the dining room--because we were all so hungry we wolfed it all down I just wish the manager would increase the number of staff during peak hours, like during a football game. We had to wait quite a while for someone to come to us with menus, then with our order, and the drinks only arrived 20-25 minutes later, just when we were about to leave. The only thing that saved the situation was seeing how hard the waiters and bar staff worked. Plus, everyone was incredibly polite, with smiles. How could you turn down such hospitality? Please, managers, increase the staff a little during rush hour. We'll definitely be back

It's a bit out of the way for us which is why we had never been but we have definitely added it to a list of places we need to revisit. We had the outdoor pavilion area, which is covered. There was a bar, pre-poured beer and soft drinks, and food via buffet style. They also had foot at each picnic table to nosh on before the buffet started. Lots of space and great vibes. There are also TVs in there if you want to just hang out and watch the game. Outside has even more seating with firepits and two stages. I would love to come here on a summer evening. Inside is a bit smaller but still spacious with a large bar area. The restrooms are small considering the size of this place and the parking they sometimes use is shared with a soccer field, otherwise I could easily give this place 5 stars.

Every time you book a party at any establishment they always package any leftover food for the the host. This place will not let you take any of the food that you paid for. The bathrooms were dirty. During a four hour party the buffet came out for an hour and half . They had coffee and cake for the last hour and half (way too long ) . Food should have been left out for 2 hours minimum. When they are in sternos and are kept at temp you can leave them out for 3 hours . Cake and coffee should come out the last 45 minutes of any party . Thats how parties work ... this place doesn't do the right thing but Charge Nearly $2000 an hour . They don't have bottled water !?? If you want acid reflex all night come here.

Hands down the worst bar I have ever been to. Not only are the customers there rude and annoying, so is bartender. She was beyond rude and I can't believe someone like that works in the industry. I have worked as a waitress/hostess/bartender and someone like that should be fired. Get yourself some new customers and employees and maybe you will do better. Definitely not coming back here again. So turned off by the bartender she was rude and sucked. read more
