Description

Overall, the restaurant seems to have a mixed reputation. Some customers found the food to be good but not outstanding, with some dishes being considered subpar and lacking flavor. There were also complaints about slow or non-existent service in some cases, as well as issues with seating arrangements and temperature control. On the positive side, there were mentions of tasty food, a good wine selection, and pleasant servers. Despite some shortcomings, the restaurant does offer outdoor seating with a nice view, which was enjoyed by some customers. Additionally, Open Table reservations are now available for those looking to book a table at The Lighthouse.

We had a great visit to The Establishment. Our appetizers and mixed drink was very good. Our dinner was good. Prime rib. It was tasty but like all prime rib the meat is pretty fatty. The wait staff was excellent especially Marissa and Shane. Some young white bartender with short hair was kind of rude when we asked about our reservation. We'd been sitting at the bar for an hour eating and drinking. He basically said he didn’t have a clue about our reservation and that we needed to go back to the hostess stand and ask. Then Marissa, also a bartender, said she would take care of us and seated us. This rude guy needs to bus tables or work in the back, where he doesn’t interact with customers. We will definitely be back to try another meal.

I would say this is a fun environment that borders on too loud to hear your friends you are dining with. Only some of the food on the menu is worth reordering, the garlic fries and the fried brussels were delicious. We ordered the grilled wedge salad, which does not come with dressing and the warmness of the salad made the lettuce taste bitter, I'd not waste your money on this salad. We also ordered the risotto which needed about 30 more minutes before it was done, the risotto was not cooked fully came out hard (the rice), and was not creamy. the EST burger was good. I'd skip the stuffed peppers and the deviled eggs. If you are looking for a fun environment to have a drink this is definitely your place!
