The menu was interesting and had several good choices. The server was attentive and checked in appropriately. Unfortunately, even after two reminders that we had theatre at 8 pm (we arrived at 6:20 pm), our main course didn’t come to our table until 7:35 pm. For the price and an evening out, eating our main course in 15 min was not acceptable. The courses were good; the sea bass (well-prepared) dish was more Mediterranean than with traditionally southern dishes, succotash and johnny cake.

My daughter ordered a ribeye that wouldn't been out of place at a roadhouse in Montana, huge and tough. She said her teeth hurt trying to chew it. My fish was average and my wife's entree was, hum, none of us can remember what it was.

Hardly anyone was there for brunch. They were out of fresh OJ at 10:00 AM. The waiter said it was a favorite of the hotel guest so they run out often....ok, then fix the problem. It had a really cool décor and vibe.

My husband and I had a reservation for noon. It was our first time there. I can’t rate the food or drinks because we never received any. We were seated at a table with empty water glasses and waited 10 minutes for a server to come with a pitcher after we told the hostess that we hadn’t been served. He stated they were understaffed and started to leave when we asked if we could place our order for cocktails and entrees. He seemed surprised but took our order and left. We waited another 20 minutes for the drinks to come while watching guests come in and immediately get served. When we couldn’t get the attention of our waiter, who was setting empty tables with glassware and utensils, we got up and left at 12:30. No explanation from the hostess when we told her why we were leaving. Just a weak “I’m sorry.”
