    Ted’s Bulletin’s food is always good. Our experience was pretty good this time as my wife and I were able to discuss menu options with the manager who was very candid with us regarding our choices and also provided his recommendations. Both choices turned out to be delicious. On the other hand, our waitress wasn’t good at all. She was very forgetful as we often had to remind her of specific requests that we asked for. Other times, we had to look for her for refills, and we had to ask one of the other managers for a side of ranch that we asked for with our fries. That was the most frustrating part, but everything else was good.

    Service was spotty. Salads came out with the meal, so fish sat there for 10 minutes while we ate the salads. Sea bass was overcooked and bones throughout. Salmon was good. Wasn’t too busy for a Friday evening, but waiter cleared plates but then we waited (and finally had to ask for) the check for nearly 30 minutes while he busily passed us.

    Six of us came to dine on a quiet Monday. The service was horrible. Waited 30 minutes just to have water and another 15 min to have our drinks. Our guest has to wait for another 15 min to have his drink. We intended to dine at 6pm but walked out at 9pm ish. Waited for a long time for food to come. Food was mediocre. Fish was dry. Will not visit for a while.

    The restaurant itself was wonderful. Everything I expected from a Ted’s. However, the location in general is absolutely crazy on a Saturday night. Parking and maneuvering through traffic was very stressful.

    Seated quickly honoring my reservation. Wait staff did not hurry us and answered all of our questions. Food was served in a timely manner. All food arrived as ordered and was just right. I always have a good experience here.

    Server was great, food was OK. I went for dinner, and think I just prefer Teds breakfast or brunch. The restaurant is worn, and the restrooms were not in good condition, even menus were all worn out/faded.
