    Booked my reservation two weeks ago for an Easter Brunch buffet. The buffet menu was extensive on their website. Sounded delicious. Reasonably expensive but acceptable. When we arrived, we were told that they don’t have a buffet, only option was to order off the standard menu. A huge disappointment. I talked to a hostess at the Venue and she apologized and had received several calls complaining about the same issue. Where was I now supposed to go to get an Easter dinner reservation elsewhere at 1:30 on Easter afternoon? Ate a mediocre meal and left disappointed and dissatisfied. Someone really needs to take responsibility for website accuracy.

    This place is amazing when it comes to food. The service this time around was awful. Made reservation for 2 ahead of time. Came in and was greeted by the manager, I believe. Said I had to wait. Was finally seated 10 minutes later. Took a good 15 minutes until the server came by to take drink order. Took another 20 minutes for him to come back to take our food order. When we finally got our food my friend was wanting some salt. Took us a good 10 minutes for someone to acknowledged us. Finally the bill, that took a good 30 minutes because we couldn't find the server anywhere. We flagged down the hostess and ask him to find our server for us cause we wanted our bill. That hostess gave us the worst attitude and just walked away. The place wasn't packed full or anything. So we couldn't figure out why our service was delayed. Overall the service was horrendous but the food was amazing as always.

    It is much nicer and quite a bit quieter since the remodel.

    This was the first time our group ate there. It was a great experience all the way around. The service was phenomenal. The waitress had great knowledge of the menu and what would be a great substitute for something. The food was hot, cooked to perfection, the presentation of the meal was expert level. I have never had a better steak in my life. The portions were very filling. We ordered off the special cocktail menu and had drinks of value. Will be back as soon as we can!

    Everything was amazing except they cleared off the table so fast they took my mimosa when I still had 1/3 of the glass left. Kind of annoying. Otherwise everything was great.

    Our server was more than patient and helpful and answered questions about the drink and regular menu very accurately. We ended up having Salmon and one of the Scallop dishes. We were very happy with how everything was cooked and the portion size was not too big or too small. I was able to add on a side of asparagus to my meal for a very reasonable price. We ended up getting desert to go and while I did not feel it was overpriced for the serving, we both got cheesecake. I wish I would have went out and looked at the deserts in the case before deciding. I loved my raspberry cheesecake but my other half was not over impressed with the snickers cheesecake. He thought it could have tasted more like snickers and been sweeter but overall great experience.

    I hesitate to visit the Bistro because of the noise. But my oldest daughter likes it, so I suggested it. Mandy was an awesome server! And the food is always good. But too many people packed into a small space & tin roofs; plus, we were seated by the kitchen, takes away my pleasure in it.
