I just finished a dinner with eight other people tonight. What a huge mistake choosing this restaurant was. When I made the reservation the night before, in fairness they told me they only book resevations in groups of four, but since it was a weeknight, getting all of us together shouldn't be a problem. I showed up 45 minutes early to confirm everything with our party, but that we might have one extra person. Understandibly, this is a curve on our part, but I was told it should be okay. When everyone arrived promptly at our reservation time, we still had to wait a full half hour for our table. However, when they showed us to our table, there was only eight seats at one table. When I asked them if they could put a couple of tables together somewhere else, it was then that they told me the tables are BOLTED DOWN and cannot be moved around! I have never heard of this anywhere before. Why don't they tell people this. They had one table for eight, that was it. So after wasting a half hour waiting for another table to open up next to it, we sat down anyway and my brother and his wife traded having their 5 year old daughter sit on their lap.(no children's chairs) We ordered drinks, all sodas and stuff, they were one drink short, it took at least minutes to get the waitress' attention. Finally got that fixed, got the appettizer order in, got the cornbread and chips and dip. There was no silverware or napkins on the table and the waitress, for another ten minutes was nowhere to be found. Everyone was so hungry, they were eating the cornbread with their hands and wiping their hands off on their pants. Finally, when we finished, (My $30 steak was medium well not medium rare like I asked), we got the bill with the gratuity already added. This is not a cheap place especially at $20 to $30 an entree. Enter at your own risk.
