  The setting, the food, and the personal are great and hard to beat.
  The managements attention to detail is very very poor.
  Do expect that your server will be overly busy and.
  Do not expect a clean table when you are waiting to be seated.
  Do not expect anyone at the host station.
  Do not expect ice water.
  Do not expect any type of bread or rolls.
  Do not expect The waitress to know anything about alcoholic drinks.
  Do not expect the waitress to completely know the wine menu.
  Do not expect the waitress to know the complete food menu.
  Do not expect any garnish or any condiment that would accent your meals without asking and waiting. something as simple as a wedge of lemon with you seafood.
  "back in the day" waitstaff would be called into the kitchen and told to never let that happen again, any of the items I listed.
  If I was the owner of this eatery I would be embarrassed!
  unfortunately with the new labor and pay laws that are being implemented around the country do not expect the dinning and eatery industry to improve but rather decline over the next couple years or so.
  Maybe just maybe owners will be forced to involve themselves in the day to day operations of kitchen and waitstaff management in order to cut the cost of new government mandated pay scales for service and hospitality personnel and once again get involved as an owner, as a server, as a food prep, to make sure their customers are pleased and happy and that they are directly involved in the outcome of their bottom line, if they don't they will fail.
  I give 4 stars only in relation to the food itself, and to the waitresses personality, not including her training or knowledge.
  1 star to attention to detail from wait staff
  1 star to attention to detail from the owner/ manager
  1 star to place setting
  1 star to wait time
  1 star to complementary accents to meals
  Unfortunately it is a way, way over priced diner with lots of TVs and should not be classified as an eatery., How many lemon wedges, spiced apple rings, pickled beets, orange slices, olive in a drink lime with a Corona could be bought for the price of a 90" TV? attention to detail would turn this dinner into a great restaurant and would be worthy of the outlandish pricing.
  Its the little things and the lack of detail that add up to huge disappointments
  KUDOS to the kitchen! awesome food and thanks for not using the heat lamps while waiting for wait staff to pick up!
  Timing and adjusting flow in the kitchen is the only thing that saved the night.
