   The first time we went here I was impressed. Two subsequent visits have been a let down. Probably won't be back. Prices are above average for the quality of the food; which was average (and seems to be declining). Wife ordered tomato soup, which was "chunky" as advertised, but tasted like marinara cut with a little cream. The server said it was really "a bisque". Nope. I've had and made bisque. A lot. This was not bisque. He then confessed he's heard that complaint several times. Thankfully the $7 cup was comped. Other entrees were middling (Steak Frites - $28, Cheese Steak - $23, and Prime Rib dip - $25), but I do have to say the pork chop was decent for $30. Desserts (creme brulee and chocolate cake) were pretty good too. Service was fair at best, which was my main beef with them the last time. Server was friendly, but fairly disinterested. Long gaps between visits (wasn't all that busy). For example, the appetizer plates and serving dishes stayed on the table, along with every other dish used, throughout the meal. I spent a fair amount of my young adulthood waiting tables, and one of the first rules I learned was you NEVER leave anything on the table the guests aren't using, or can't use. "Full hands in, full hands out" (of the kitchen, for the uninitiated). Not here, I guess. In short, I know it's a "bar and grill", but if I'm going to pay $60 per person (including 1 beer, 1 cocktail, and 1 glass of wine) I need to feel like it was a $60 per person experience. This did not.

   Great local hangout. We eat there about twice a month. Nothing fancy on the menu, but the food is very good. Service is friendly and fast. Two items on the menu really stand out, the smoked brisket sandwich is delicious, and even though the roasted chicken takes about 30 minutes to prepare, it's worth the wait.

   The food was fantastic as always (I go specifically for the prime rib. I think it's the best in Western WA!!). Zach was our server the other night and he was very kind, patient, and attentive. The noise level at 7pm was a bit high (just because there were lots of people, and I am more sensitive to it with some hearing impairment issues), but it actually quieted down a lot by 7:30 or so. Great experience as always!

   We sat in a booth in the bar - it’s a place you can just hang out and talk. Food was good - we had the wings. SW salad and burger. Food is always consistent and the service is great.
