Had a great experience dining at your Gardiner location tonight. The food was fantastic and Belinda was an excellent server. We will definitely be back!
Food was ok! Service was something terrible! Early dinner not even busy, not once were we asked if we needed anything or if the meal was good! He cleared our table of dishes we sat there for 10 + minutes waiting for a check in which we had to ask for! Server was worried more about his winter hat than his customers! We won’t be back!
We just ate at the Gardiner location and absolutely LOVED IT! As someone with significant food allergies it was wonderful to have a menu with lots of options for me. The service was excellent and fast and the food was delicious. We will be frequent patrons!
