   I do not do reviews, and I don’t think I’ve ever done a restaurant review, but I’m feeling inclined. Our server, Rachel, was wonderful. They were out of Blue Moon and tots. Both, no big deal. Then my cheesesteak with French onion au jus came without the au jus or the sautéed onions. I wasn’t told ahead of time they were out of those items or I would have ordered something different. My husband’s meal was also supposed to have ingredients that were missing. I asked about it— they were out of these things. Of onions?? Just maybe not managed well to be out of so many items.

   We made reservations for a special family brunch on Easter. Worst dining experience of my life. The poor waitress was only on her second day of the job. She was working her tail off as there was no chef. The manager was apparently acting as the chef. My scrambled eggs were brown and had turned to rubber, another family member ordered an egg dish which was served in a black oval dish. If the food inside was an 1/8” deep, also rubber. The restaurant has a nice ambiance, and great location, but there were only 3 tables full of people. Guess the word is out that this is not the place to go. It’s a shame as the Ashburn location is wonderful.

   The food was delicious. We chose the New Year special four course meal for 2. It was great. the only complaint was that our appetizer was brought out at the same time as our meal.

   I came with my family on Christmas Day at 5:00 pm. There were five of us. W the order e ordered the appetizer of guacamole, salsa, and cheese dip. The cheese dip was only lukewarm and the guac and salsa were fine. We each ordered our meals. The meals came out in stages. Two person got their meals and then one other person got her meal and then another person got his meal and then the last meal didn’t come out until everyone else was finished. We asked to see the manager and he or she never came over  I understand it was Christmas day, but the restaurant was not very busy. Disappointed in the service we received. Our waiter was nice and did apologize several times.
