This place is usually a good spot, but for some reason, our experience this Friday evening was very…read moredifferent. The service was simply not good. We walked in around 5:00 PM, and there were very few people in the bar. We had a party of six, so we sat down at a table and waited. After sitting there for a while without anyone coming over, I finally went to the bar. Shortly after that, a waitress came to our table, so I went back and we placed our order. Then came another long wait, we waited about 20 minutes just to get our drinks, even though the bar was nearly empty. On the bright side, the drinks were great. I ordered an El Carajillo, and it was really good! The horchata crème in it was SOOOO good and definitely the highlight of the visit. Unfortunately, the service issues continued. When the waitress brought the check for me to sign, I realized she had not returned my credit card. I had to track her down to get it back, and while doing so, I ran into another customer who had experienced the exact same thing. They have great drinks and normally provide a good experience, so hopefully this was just an off night. But on this particular Friday evening, with the bar barely occupied, the service definitely missed the mark.

I felt like I was transported into a whimsical movie scene from the 50's, with all the nostalgic attention to detail, intricate candy selections and homemade goods.

Being health conscious, I love that they have sweet options for everyone, with their natural sodas, elixirs, ice cream and locally made fudge and popcorn.

The entire staff was so patient and kind with my girls. Afterwards, we picked out a few delicious treats and all left smiling ear to ear. The real magic happened after we left. My 4-year old daughter left her absolutely beloved stuffed giraffe in a corner of the bead room and we didn't realize it wasn't in the car until 10 pm at night when we were two hours away in Indiana. I called Bubble Joy at 8 am the next day with little hope as I knew they were closed Mondays and Tuesdays. A very nice young man answered immediately and indicated he would text his manager (Kristen) and ask her. Kristen hadn't seen "Giraffee" but offered to go in on her day off to look. SHE FOUND IT. And shipped it to us the next morning. I cannot describe how grateful I am and how happy she made my 4 year old little girl. Thank you so so much!

We just finished up at the Catbird Seat and Ashley had called next door to see if they could seat us at the Patterson House. As it turns out they could, and they were ready for us when we made our way across the hall. They gave us a choice of where we'd like to sit, and there were two chairs at the end looking out of the windows at skyline of the city. What better way to end a lovely evening with a lovely lady, but with a lovely view and some fantastic drinks? Holland, like the country, greeted us and set us up for the evening. Holland brought great energy, and was super welcoming. They even offered us drinks on the house for the engagement. Totally unexpected, and that just meant we had to have more than one round to make sure that we could appropriately tip and show our appreciation for the amazing hospitality! The drinks were great. I tend to gravitate towards the less sweet. The Japanese Anchorage scratched that elitch very well being boozy forward, with hints of flavors. She had the Late Summer Margarita, refreshing and sweeter. We shared the Thai Tea Banana Colada. Definitely the sweeter side, but couldn't pass up the opportunity. Very good, a little sweeter and a little heavier than I'd normally prefer. It met both of our preferences right in the middle. Compromise, right? Great experience, and would absolutely come back when in town!

When Jonny Weber took over earlier this year, we were genuinely excited, we've always enjoyed his work at Country Boy in Leiper's Fork and Zolo's, and you can immediately feel the difference at Gray's The entertainment quality is noticeably upgraded. The staffing is dramatically improved, from the hostess stand to the servers, the attitude shift alone makes a world of difference. The menu has seen subtle but smart changes: keeping some of the old favorites while adding more sophisticated choices that elevate the dining experience. We're also glad to see a more efficient layout for the second floor stage area and dining area. When an owner can pick up extra seating without impacting other diners, that's smart business, more revenue for him, and ultimately better cost control that helps keep prices down for all of us. Our only hiccup this visit was the kitchen. The Sweet Pineapple Chili Drumsticks were really good, and all the orders were correct and arrived together. But both halibut plates and the the pork chop were all overdone, and the carrot cake was overly chilled. Timing and coordination are huge parts of a dining experience, and we expect those issues will get ironed out as the team settles in. Even with that, the overall improvement is undeniable. The direction Jonny is taking Gary's on Main is exactly what this spot needed, and we fully expect the kitchen to catch up to the rest of the operation. We'll be part of that future.

Their General Manager was in communications with me prior to our arrival trying to take care of the issue. After our meal he came up to our table and introduced himself and asked if the reversal had gone through, unfortunately on my end it had not. He ensured me that if for any reason it did not post he would make it right. I appreciate that he took the time to come over to the table and chat with us. We enjoyed the show. Our table was right next to their runway so we got a pretty good view of the stage and runway. We orderd the Charcuterie Board & Prime Rib Empanadas as our appetizers. Both were delicious! The prime rib Empanadas were probably my favorite thing. For dinner my friend got the filet mignon and I got the NY Strip both cooked perfectly. For sides we shared the lemon peper asparagus, truffle mashed potatoes, and the Smoked Cheddar Mac n cheese. Our meals were absolutely delicious. I got the Pot of Gold CBD infused drink and it was incredible! Highly recommend. Our server was amazing! It was such an experience!
