    The fish & chips was delicious and steaming hot, however, the salmon Oscar came with cold green beans, cold mashed potatoes, hot salmon, and was topped with cold crab. Half disappointed in our meal.

    The server forgot to take our table’s order for at least an hour. We had to ask her to take our order when she was bringing food to another table. She also gave me the wrong drink. I am not able to drink alcohol, so being given some drink I did not order is very risky. The food itself was pretty average for the high cost. Overall I would say it was not the best experience.

    The food was good, but whenever we wanted anything we had to get the servers attention. She pretty much just came to our table to take our orders and bring the food out. Never checked to see if we needed anything like our drinks refilled, or salt or pepper for the food, etc.

    Service was terrible. Our server took drink orders for six people, three were wrong or missing. We did not see her again, she seemed to avoid passing by our table. Our drinks were dry mid way through meal. We flagged down a host and he refilled drinks. Food was delicious.

    We went in for my adult son's birthday before a Reds Game. There was a sign outside stating happy hour until 6pm (we were there at 4:45.) When we were seated, the waitress came over and, again, told us it was happy hour. It took us an hour and 15 minutes before we received our dinner. Each person in our group had one or two drinks in that time. When it came time for the bill, no happy hour discount showed on our bill. We told the waitress that we didn't receive the discount of $5 drinks. She went back to adjust it and returned telling us that the manager said it didn't apply on days with events nearby. No where did that say that. She went back to the manager who grudgingly stated that she would give us the discount. We went to pay the bill and they stated that the internet was down and couldn't run any credit cards, but could take down everyone's credit card on paper and run the cards later...assuring us that they would throw away the numbers later. At the same time, they were still accepting orders and sending them to the kitchen via their internet system. We asked to see the manager who came over and told us she was having a bad day and she already gave us "a deal" on the drinks and reiiterated that we could just write down our credit card numbers to be run later. We refused to do that and pointed out that the internet was working on phones, and on ordering, etc. She was quite unpleasant about it, repeated that she was having a bad day and said "forget it, I'll just write it off." In the meantime, we felt bad about the waitress not receiving any tip, so separately people in our group gave the waitress $70. One of the people in the group went back to the waitress and asked if anyone other than her brother gave her cash because she was giving her another $10. She said that no one had given her anything except her brother....blatantly lying (she KNEW who was at our table.) I WOULD NOT go back as the entire experience was disappointing at best.
