I was very disappointed in this visit as we brought friends to the place to show it off for our holiday lunch. The service was poor, food was disappointing and much like other visits if the pub has more than 25% capacity, the service experience falls short. They just do not scale well with a large flux of customers or on busy days period.

Great ambiance and good food. Under staffed, so while the server was attentive, food came out slowly, so get a drink and allow extra time.

We had a nice, relaxing reunion/christmas lunch. We traveled from Redmond, Olympia and Boston to meet at the Elks Club.

Honestly was a great experience for my 21st. The lighting was soft with an open fire and beautiful views inside and out. The service was so sweet and patient with me and my group. I will definitely be going here again!

We met with another couple for food and drinks. The food since last time we were there had changed in quality and quantity. One of entrees had to be sent back. We then went to the vault for drinks after dinner. One of the other customers was drunk and barged in on our table. He kept hitting my arm. I asked him to stop. Then I told him to stop. Then he tried to pick a fight with me and yelling some racial crap. He happened to be black and me not liking to be hit makes me a bigot. The bar staff did nothing. Security should have been called. We left. Pretty lousy night

The ambience was great with wood fires set in the dining and waiting areas. The Thanksgiving dinner was excellent and was a great value.
