But it was double the cost of most restaurants. It was OK at best and not worth 2-3x the price of a comparable restaurant.

The salad bar was poorly stocked, and the seafood chowder resembled a watery shadow of what it used to be. Over an hour later, just as we were about to ask for the check and leave, our food finally arrived, bringing the total wait time to 1.5 hours. I must say, the chicken parmesan at the bowling alley is larger, better, and half the price. My stuffed haddock was actually not stuffed at all, and was half the size it used to be under the previous owners; I found a small dollop of stuffing next to the fish. To make matters worse, a loud and unruly family was seated next to us. One member of the group even squeezed into the hallway, right by my leg. They started off by trying to get a meal comped for their coughing elderly relative, which didn’t work, so they shifted to asking for a discount for the entire group. Meanwhile, the waitress was overly attentive to them and completely ignored us. Strangely, people who arrived half an hour after us were served before we were. The waitress gave us the runaround, and after exactly 12 minutes of having our food, she invited us to leave because it was getting busy and they needed the table. While it was hot and overcrowded due to overbooking, we noticed there were only four other diners when we first arrived. This restaurant used to be a classy destination under previous management, and it was deeply disappointing to see the decline. I felt the need to apologize to my fiancée's parents for the experience. What was once a place for dressy attire, cuff links, and manners has now turned into a noisy, casual space filled with overly tattooed patrons in baseball caps. It feels more like an overpriced burger joint now. We left feeling frustrated and $160 poorer.

The restaurant, as the name would imply, is in an old lumber yard barn. You can definitely tell this, and not in a good way. Our server Sarah was very nice and really the only reason we stayed. She kindly moved our table from a hot and steamy back corner(The AC was broken I’m assuming, it was sweltering) to a slightly less hot and steamy part of the restaurant. Ordered some appetizers which took about a half an hour to arrive, the salad bar was average at best, and then it took us nearly an hour to get our entrees. The food itself was ok once it finally arrived, but nothing special. We were there for 2.5 hours all together and not because we wanted to be. It was kinda like a 1980’s Ponderosa steakhouse mixed with a dusty old antique mall, no Air conditioning, super slow service, and premium prices . I would never go back, nor would I recommend it to anyone else.

Her confidence will grow as she continues to wait on tables.
