   They seem to think that COVID doesn't exist anymore. No spacing of the tables. Mask wearing among staff sporadic. It was packed - multiple tables bunched together. A couple of double-tables with at least 10 people at them. I understand that restaurants need to get back, but they also need to observe the restrictions, or everyone will have to shut down again.

   We came on what I imagine was a busy weekend night where they were likely short staffed in the kitchen. So we tried to cut our waitress some slack. However, after 45 minutes of waiting after placing our food order, we finally stopped her as she was walking by and asked about our food. Our food came out 5-7 minutes later. My food was ok, nothing to write home about, but my husband said his tasted like it had been sitting under the heater. We were most upset that our waitress didn't check on us for the entire 45 minutes we were waiting. We probably won't come back since the food really didn't taste that good anyways.

   Nice place and the food was good but it took almost an hour to get our meals which arrived at the same time as our appetizers. Sure, waitress apologized for the delay but no further efforts were made to reconcile the issue, which was a surprise. It’s close to the ice rink so I’m sure we’ll try again but another 60 minute wait for food would be the last 60 minute wait for food here for my family.

   We were disappointed. The venue and menu looks great. Service was poor even though we sat at the bar. Food was so so. Fried pickles were good. Wings were not hot. Fried zucchini looked great but since they make their own ranch dressing, which is discussing and tastes nothing like ranch, we didn't get to eat it. Even the bar tender, when we finally got her attention after about 20 minutes of arm waving, said she doesn't like their homemade ranch. Maybe an off night and we didn't try the entrees, but too many other places to choose from in that area that we probably will not go back.

   Good casual pub type atmosphere. Got a bunch of appetizers to share which were good. Disappointed with the service as our server was more interested in socialist with friends at the bar than attending to patrons. I would still go back.

   I had a great experience here. Our server was friendly and seemed to know everything on the menu. The food came quickly. My friends loved their risotto, and my wings and fish were both fried perfectly. We ended the meal with a flight of margs that were all delicious, highly recommend! I was a little worried about capacity restrictions but I did see them turn customers away. It must be hard to turn down business after this past year I'll be coming back and planning for more cocktails next time!
