First time to this restaurant. Was pleasantly surprised. We had the pizza special for Monday with small antipasto salad. Pizza was 4 slices of deep dish with choice of 2 toppings. Pizza was delicious, salad was huge. Will definitely come back to this local restaurant. By the way it’s attached to a hotel.

Normally, I would not rate any place this low. However, the main reason was the service was the issue! 1st, I must admit there was one server. She was covering six tables, and the bar area where appropriately six people sat. Once we arrived, there was one couple who sat down before us and three other couples who sat after us! Within five minutes, the server checked on the couple before us. She then checked to see what we wanted to drink. We ordered one beer and two glasses of water with fried mushrooms. Then she checked with the other tables to see what they wanted to drink / eat. The couple in front of us received their food. The two couples who came in after us received their orders. Our appetizer finally came with the beer and water. We ordered our main dish! While waiting for the main dish, the first couple paid for their meal. The couples that arrived before us were getting refills for their drinks. Our sever dropped the food off, salad, and flatbread for wife (she said it was good), hamburger for me (pretty good). A few minutes later, the server asked if everything was ok and if my wife wanted another beer! My wife said no thanks and asked for some more water. Within the next 20 - 30 minutes, the server walked by us to give the other two couples to go boxes, I again asked her for water, I sat my empty glass at the end of the table. I observed our server refilling other customers' glasses in front of us. Our server came to get checks from the couples who came in after us, and then they got up and left. The server eventually got us some water. We paid our bill, and then we left!

We should have left when it took 10 min to get a menu and a drink order. However we stayed. There was only a couple tables being used but food took a long time too and all of it was cold. Appetizer came out with our meal. Meal was dropped and no waitress to be seen for 20 min. Will not return.

Waitress took almost an hour to get out all customers' food. Not 1 hour for everything to come out at once, no 1 hour from the first plate to the last plate to come out. Not including the time we were waiting for our order to be taken. Food was not good, other than the pizza. Also their "russian dressing" is not russian dressing. It is almost a vinaigrette, which is not what anyone wants for their ruben.

Small bar feel with a big island in center for patrons. Burger was good, service was quick, friendly staff. I'll be back as it was a satisfying meal and drinks making an end of a long day. Looked at a few others meals that came out. It seems like I need to try some more entrees and apps.

Met my daughter here for lunch. Spent most of the time talking but the staff understood and checked in every so often. When we ordered, food was hot, fresh and delicious.
