There are only a limited number of side dishes available without incurring additional costs. Overall, it’s no longer the upscale restaurant it once was.

I'm not sure if our server was having an off night or if there was another issue, but she didn’t seem very attentive. Our drinks were never refilled, and she was quite curt when we placed our order or asked for anything else. Aside from that, everything else was fine. The other tables had their servers check on them multiple times, while we only saw ours to take our order and deliver our food. That was the extent of our interaction.

Bill was $94 for 3 meals, salad bar, dessert, extra sides, 3 drinks so that’s not bad at all compared to everywhere else. I made the mistake of drinking my raspberry tea before the meals came out and therefore had to eat with no drink until I was almost done when the server got refills. On a Saturday night she appeared to be the only waitress, there was a few helpers but I could see her running around alone and busy, so I wasn’t going to tell her she got me the wrong dessert or it would have nice to have more drink refills, and steak sauce, etc. It looked like 1 hostess and 1 server for the whole dining area and then the bar area had several workers. I would have given a higher tip if we would have just been acknowledged more to meet our needs but she was super nice. I actually had quit attending here for many many years because I had a Mother’s Day buy one get one free coupon that wasn’t honored by the waitress at the time after we discussed it and ordered she brought the manager over and I had to pay full which back then in 2005, it was like $20/person. So I feel like the prices haven’t really gone up which is amazing but the portions are half of what they used to be. Quality of food alone was top notch and would have been nice to receive the dessert I actually wanted, I have always loved the raspberry tea with the real raspberries! Finally, I like the remodel it’s very cozy

Sadly not in the case of this place it took a half hour to get our drinks and then we had steak that were cooked on the outside and the inside in completely raw. Our waitress had to be reminded more then once to bring us our drinks then I finished mine before our dinner came out and to my surprise another guy brought us our food and then he left while my drink sat empty then I had to flag down the manager to get our check then it took another 10 minutes for her to bring me the check which was for the wrong table so another ten minutes later we got the right check the sad thing their was only four other tables
