“This review is for their curbside service: My family and I love this location, and we have never had an issue with this location, however, tonight we ordered a quick curbside pickup order for just a few items. We arrived at the designated time (15 minute after we placed the order) and called to let them know we had arrived. We were sitting curbside for nearly 20 minutes before I decided to go in and ask for my order which came out shortly there after. There didn't seem to be a hold up in the to-go area, so maybe the curbside orders just need a little more attention.“

“I never regret going here. My service is always a joy and the servers and management treat me wonderfully. The menu options have something for just about every one. The prices are comparable to just about other places of the same nature.GREAT PLACE, and probably my favorite!“

“December 18/25 To the Kitchen: absolutely unbelievable! I’m a pork green chili connoisseur and this was the best I’ve ever had. Most people cheat at the end with a cornstarch slurry and it leaves an alkaline taste in your mouth with each bite. But this kitchen does it the right way. Thank you for that. The filet mignon with the blue crab was done to perfection! Amazing combination. Very well done for the back of the house. I just wish I could say the same for the front of the house.

You could tell the bartender I sat in front of just didn’t want to be there. The bar area wasn’t busy at all and everything was done at a snails pace. Took a while to be even greeted let alone get an order placed. A customer from the dining area came to fetch his own drinks, two draft beers, because it was taking too long. Customer said “we ordered these 25 minutes ago and you’re just now pouring them?” he also made a martini for another customer in a visibly broken glass. Then had a less than apologetic attitude towards having to make another one. I myself had two smoked old-fashioned that he blow torched in such an extreme way that the whole cocktails on fire shooting fiery bits of wood chips all over the bar top. The inside of the glass was very foggy and looked like tar. Not sure if that’s normal.

The female bartender was racing around with her head chopped off. It was operant that she was doing all the work. Desperately trying to keep customers happy. Lesson learned, sit on the other end of the bar next time.“
