   Food was okay. Several drinks were missed and had to be asked after. A few orders were wrong and had to be corrected and one drink never came out the entire dinner. The food was okay but the service was lacking. The location is fabulous.

   Our waitress was incredible. Not a lot of options for non meat eating people and avg price is high. Cool atmosphere

   For Mothers Day, we sat at our table for an hour waiting for our food, which then arrived cold and incomplete. Server offered a side of warm potatoes to go with my cold Benedict, which I accepted. But my mother’s omelette they forgot half the ingredients and it was basically a sautéed onion onelette. The server offered to have it redone, but like she said it could take another hour ! So disappointing and then I had to argue to get the omelette removed from our bill.

   I have never written a poor review of a restaurant but I was super bummed out about this place. Our drinks came after my husband and I finished our meal. We were seated for our reservation promptly but then we waited almost an hour for our food. Our server seemed like she was doing to best she can so I applaud her but our drinks that were just mocktails took way longer than expected. Once again I have never ever written a poor review of a restaurant but I felt like I needed to share my experience with this restaurant.

   The server was amazing and we were seated right away with reservation. However, the food was not as great. It was lukewarm at Best and obviously not fresh. The restaurant is very beautiful and I will probably still come here again.

   Took over 30 minutes to get our food and it was clear it had sat under a light for a while. Taste wasn't bad wasn’t anything fantastic. Probably wouldn’t choose to come here again anytime soon.

   Our reservation was at 7, we did not receive service until 7:30. We waited another 30 minutes for drinks to come, and another 20 on top of that for food. Our server never came back and checked with us, nor told us what was taking so long for food and drinks.

   We all enjoyed our dinner. We were seated promptly and ordered drinks and appetizers first. We highly recommend the seasonal egg roll special. They were delicious. So delicious that I forgot the other app we ordered😊. Jamaican rice bowl with added grilled chicken was good, but it seemed to be missing the typical pop of flavor. I think one ingredient may have been missed. But it was still good. Friends loved their pizza and salad. And said the crab and shrimp roll was very good. One of my favorite things about the McMenamins pubs is the fresh squeezed fruit juice they use--that attention to detail, really kicks them up a notch above other bars. My Palomas were delicious.

    This used to be a great place to eat and show our friends from out of town not anymore! We waited a long time to be served our food and then it was clear our food had spent a long time under heat lamps. The fries were rubbery and just warm. The price you pay here there is no excuse for this
