The only minor drawback was the abbreviated wine list; they were out of most of the options available. However, they mentioned that they were in the process of updating it, which I believe to be true.

The service was slow and it took a long time to get our orders. The four of us were there almost three hours. To be perfectly fair, there was one server working that night and two bartenders were recruited to help in the dining room. These three people worked their rears off to take care of all the people there. For management to only have one server scheduled was just insane given the holiday. Kudos to the server and bartenders for making the best of a really lousy situation. As for the food, it was great. When I see seasonal vegetables on a menu it 's almost always some generic steamed vegetables. These seasonal vegetables were sautéed with wonderful seasoning and other vegetables like mushrooms that you don 't normally see. The main courses we had were steaks, pork tenderloin and BBQ ribs all were great! We had dessert which everyone really enjoyed. We will be back here....just not on a holiday.

When I opened the menu at the restaurant the menu did not match the online version. Two of the items I wanted were no longer on the menu, beet salad and roasted veggie wellington. The website needs to be updated. What I ordered was good but not really what I wanted.

The service was excellent. The only thing I would comment on is that the stuffed pork tenderloin was dry. read more The service was excellent. The only thing I would comment on is that the stuffed pork tenderloin was dry.
