Came in last night, absolute disaster. We waited 15 minutes for a server to come to our table..when she arrived, it was very apparent this was her first serving job. Asked for a spicy Caesar, she asked if I wanted it “hot”, ordered Burt Reynolds’s shots for the table only to be told they had no “butter snaps”. Took drinks another 15 minutes to arrive. We ordered our food, my husband ordered the chicken fried chicken, I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich (both of which specify on the menu that it’s 2 pieces of chicken). When the food got to our table, both meals only had 1 piece of chicken. My husband made a comment about the single piece of chicken and that they used the wrong gravy, the server told us they ran out of gravy earlier and that the menus had changed but not been updated, which should have been communicated earlier. After sending his food back, it came out with the correct gravy (weird). Fast forward to paying the bill. After paying, we realized we were charged for 3 Burt Reynolds’s shots that we never got. I walked up to the bar, and our server was around the corner blatantly talking to the bartender about how terrible we were and how we only gave her $121 on a $120 bill. When she came around the corner and saw me, she looked like a deer in headlights. I showed her the bill and the bartender rectified the problem. All in all, it was a terrible night.

We had a giftcard here so we were happy to hear they are a dog friendly patio! We ordered the lettuce wraps (which were spicy and messy but flavourful!) and the BBQ chicken flatbread which was tasty and hit the spot. We walked onto the patio ourselves so it took maybe about 10 minutes before we got served but our server Heather was wonderful and very personable!

My girlfriends and I came with my two kids for dinner and our server Lauren was fantastic!
She helped us out with getting us a new high chair when we realized the one my son was sitting in had a screw lose and kept him entertained and smiling as well.
She was super on top of the table and the food and drinks came in great timing!
Would definitely come again!!

We had such a great experience on last night thanks to our server, Kate. She was incredibly attentive without ever hovering — the perfect balance. We never had to wait or ask for anything; she always seemed to know exactly when to check in. She made sure everything was great throughout our meal and that we had everything we needed. Her service truly made our night enjoyable. Highly recommend requesting Kate if you can!
