    We showed up with an extra person and the hostess said she had to seat us in the cold indoor patio area (she had an attitude) I had made these reservation 2 months ago for my out of town business guests. My husband’s old fashioned came with the Maker’s Mark bottle stopper/plastic cork. Our guest’s steak was ordered completely wrong, we all got our food and he had to wait for 30 minutes, super awkward. Our third bottle of wine was corked. There was no compensation or remorse. Why do people go there.
