March 2019 - updating the post to reflect a recent visit, keeping at three stars:
I give you pictures of three restaurants serving a medium rare cut of prime rib. All within $3 of each other (about $37). You choose ...
==============================
Updating post after another visit.. leaving at 3 stars but the food is going downhill, fast.
Wanted to try something new. Sat at the bar because that's where you can actually get decent service. Ordered clams linguini ... what could go wrong? Well, if you like pasta drowning in oil and butter and grease from bacon with 5 clams the size of peas, then this is your dish folks!
Come on guys. You can do better. If not, then I recommend you change the name to Bacon Oil Linguini.
========================
I want to like this place because the food is pretty good and I am local, but the service consistently disappoints.
Wait times for refills on beverages is unnecessarily long, and frustrating.
2 managers, 2 food servers and a hostess all walk by in the span of 8 minutes.... none offer to refill water or get us more drinks. Ended up asking for help. Even then, our drinks sat at the bar for 4 minutes before our server went to get them. And here's the kicker ... he gets to our table with the drinks and says, " just in the nick of time". Ha! Dude, try like 20 minutes! This only confirms my assessment and now review ... servers are so far removed from knowing / managing their table, (in this case our server had only 1 table - the only 1 table in the entire dining room), that a 20% tip is simply unwarranted and consideration for a return trip will be less likely.
I guess it's hard to expect more when junior servers are learning by (manager) example.
PS. Veggies were limp and flavorless. Even though I left them on my plate and the server apologized, I still got charged. Go figure.
Absolutely amazing food and service. And the decorations for the holiday make it feel so warm.
The grilled salmon salad was perfect. Every ingredient was so full of flavor that I didn't bother with the salad dressing. I'm looking forward to having this again.
Beautiful view with the outdoor seating. Pub menu was great with the burgers and good drink specials. Fast and attentive service.
