Great waitress and service. The place had an old atmosphere but was clean. They were looking to hire a new grill chef. The trout I had was not good. The pork chop special was fair. The gravy tasted like it was made with Lipton soup mix. They served beer and wine, but no cocktails.

We ate dinner tonight and it was delicious!
I had read some bad reviews and was a little hesitant to go back. It was as good as ever and most of the menu is the same. Service was great and we were in and out in about an hour.

Wonderful experience and delicious food!!

A bit expensive, low lighting

I’m a very tolerant and forgiving person and really don’t like leaving bad reviews but just so much about my 65th birthday dinner out was wrong. This was my first meal at this restaurant in over 20 years. It was Saturday Feb 15th.
When we arrived we’re told 30 minutes wait. I passed through to the restroom and saw it wasn’t very crowded and there were many tables open.
Finally was seated and overheard waitress that they only had 2 waitresses working. Upon seating we were given warm rolls and butter. We were there another 10 minutes until she took our drink order. Another 5 minutes before they arrived in small tumblers.
Waitress spent a lot of time dealing with next table from their complaints. At first I felt sorry for her and thought they were just too picky. I noticed about this time that all the music playing was from the 40s. She finally took our orders and I checked my watch. We had came in 75 minutes ago.
It was 35 minutes later our salads came. Then within a few minutes all the rest of the food showed up. I had to ask for more to drink having long since emptied my glass. She bought out a small pitcher of tea but no ice and after asking I never got any more. My steak, a 10 ounce ribeye, supposed to be medium rare was well done, completely grey though out, and it was lukewarm at best. Baked potato was about the same in temperature.
At this point the waitress asked how everything was. I just made a motion with my hand and said, nahhh. She said please be honest. So I mentioned the steak being overcooked. She asked why I hadn’t said anything and I told her it took so long to get it I didn’t want to wait even longer for a replacement to be made. She then apologized and mentioned they had a new cook and had had many complaints.
At this point I just wanted it to be over and get home. I had to request the bill. There was no offer to reduce the bill, not that I expected but saw on other reviews that they have offered this to some other people. There were 4 of us dining. As I mentioned I had 10 ounce ribeye, my wife ordered chicken, my granddaughter got 14 ounce ny strip, and her small son got children chicken strips plate. My granddaughters steak was also ordered medium rare but cooked medium at best. My wife said her chicken was okay. My great grandsons child’s plate was much larger than I expected with 3 very large pieces of chicken and a big order of fries. All the food was lukewarm. That tells me that it sat before it was brought out. I left a $20 tip on a $123 bill. The cashier also asked about the service. I just told her it was terrible and left my wife to explain. I just wanted out at this point. I checked my watch again and it had been 2 hours 20 minutes since we came in.
As I said it was my first meal there in over 20 years but I can guarantee it will be the last.

Terrible tonight! Waitress was nice, received appetizers, drinks and salads but no food. Sat for almost two hours and waitress came out and told us they had ran out of side items, then brought us unsweetened tea. That was the all we could take, we got up and left. Told the nice lady at the register about the debacle and we weren’t charged for anything, which we appreciated. We will probably come back but the kitchen staff needs a serious overhaul!!

This place is terrible. Only able to order from 2 side orders on menu out of everything. No sweet tea. Been here and hour and still haven't ordered our food. Or gotten anything to drink. Stay away!!!!

Great place eat steak.

Amazing atmosphere, very personal and romantic, waitresses are amazing!! The food is beyond delicious.
