    We went for Valentine’s Day and it didn’t go well at all. We went for steaks but they were out and didn’t tell us until we ordered. The chef found a couple rib eyes which was great. Unfortunately they served our steak to another table and I sat for 2 hours while my other half ate. It was awkward just sitting there watching everyone eat. I have to admit the restaurant owned the issue, apologized profusely, comped the whole meal and gave me a $200 gift certificate. I had my meal wrapped up when it finally came and we left. I understand things happen and I’m very happy how they handled it. The steak was delicious when I finally ate it at home. In other news, it was LOUD and the communal tables put people on top of each other but a couple next to us was our biggest champion getting comped.

    We went for an intended game of curling and a lunch, but cut ourselves off after the appetizers. The curling was fun, it’s a slightly smaller court and there are no brooms involved, but it’s still the heavy stones. The game and strategy is more like bocce than I expected. The person attending the courts helped us keep score which was nice. Then after the session we went intending for lunch. We got the pretzel and it was not only overcooked but also seemed stale. (Like it was heated for the second time.) The beer on tap was good but it was at this point we cut the meal short.

    Food and service were great. Place can get a bit noisy. But again, it is a bar/restaurant. Saying that, would still go back again in a heartbeat!
