   'Hard to be critical of wonderful food, service, etc. While we don't mean to be negative, our positive, but hopefully constructive comments...Sunday evening, we were seated on the beautiful patio (We MIGHT have been offered that as an option) but, both of us being hard of hearing just understood that was here our reservation assigned us. Wind was blowing, temperature was dipping. Noticing 6 propane heaters, we asked if our might be lit. We were told "they'd try, but the night before, there were only 2 of 'em working. Both our cool dude server and the gracious hostess tried to ignite one, No Success! They had to leave (no problem) they had'da lot of other guests to serve...'promised to come back to try some more. 'Never happened! 'Totally understandable...your indoor dining areas were VERY busy and they were doing an excellent job or caring for all your patrons. It was, however...knowing that Oregon Spring weather isn't always balmy in April....and knowing that the previous nite only 2 of the 6 propane heaters were operational, disappointing that management had not either closed the COLD patio, refilled propane tanks or trained busy staff on proper heater lighting procedures. The hostess was gracious, the server was caring, professional and FUN and the food was wonderful! 'Too bad we left with satisfied appetites, but chilled bodies. Perhaps a couple more jalapenos in the jambalaya would have warmed us up a bit Again, this is not complaining, merely observing. And, we WILL be back...Next time, carefully listening to see if patio seating is an option or an assignment.

   We sat in a place, was it the bar? Was it the restaurant? Service was sporadic, meaning the pacing was poor. They showed every other table their desserts. They just Asked us if we wanted dessert, when we asked what they had, the waitress mumbled a few things.

   First rate food and service. Menu changes from time to time so there are new dishes to try. Specials also offer delicious alternatives. Staff is friendly and helpful. Chef Ib is in a class by himself! Frank & Mary, Eugene, OR.

   Delighted with the service and food. The wine selection was very nice. It felt like a neighborhood cafe and we loved that.

   odd the hostess let me know when I arrived early 15 minutes that the waitress was not there and I needed to wait at the bar? Tables were open, then after 5 minutes seated me and again let me know no servers were not available yet...she let the table next to us know this too,...it was odd and they should not book reservations if a waitress is not available or make excuses. Just fill in and help. Food was still great as usual with a bit slow on service.

   Excellent food and service, our server Kayla was very attentive and explained things very well. The main shrimp dish was outstanding, my partner had a wonderful goat cheese salad with the hummus/baba ganouche/pita/olive plate, all delicious and large servings.

   Wednesday evening, 7PM reservation (first visit). EXCELLENT duck entree, my date had the shrimp small plate morphed into entree (also extremely tasty). Vegetables VERY overcooked. Scrumptious potatoes and mediocre rice crowded our plates (too large proportions for gourmet restaurant). The charming old house had tables crammed together in our area, no escaping a loud party of 10 nearby. The lengthy wait for our bottle of wine was surprising given the restaurant's reputation; our wait staff was not wine-knowledgable and had misrepresented the recommendation; corrected after consulting bartender (the choice was delightful (thanks bartender). Would we return? Sure! Especially for the fabulous duck and quaint setting. Romantic. Maybe better service and vegetables next time.

    All portions of the food were over dressed from the salad to the beef and Salmon. There were flys all over the place and the bathroom was a bit disgusting.

    Though we strive for perfection in our service/food quality, every once in a while we miss the ball. We apologize and hope that you will give us another chance.
