Many guests had their coats on. They sat us upstairs which feels like an after thought. Its cramped, cold and impersonal. Seats by the window had a draft. The people sitting there before us asked to move and so did we. Felt like we were in a diner. Wish I picked somewhere else for the holidays.

The first time I ordered the top sirloin well done with potatoes and the meat can medium well when I ordered well done and it was warm the mash potatoes were cold and I gave it a pass because it was busy my server was running back and forth and I wanted to be understanding and it wasn’t the right thing to do in retrospect because it seems so be a common practice now that I’ve come here again. Back to the recent visit my chicken it was very chewy and toward the end I couldnt chew the pieces of chicken I managed to cut with the steak knife and I had to use so much force just to cut through it. The quality of the food was underwhelming I did have a manager that came and discounted part of my meal which was thoughtful and I expressed my gratitude. I think it might’ve been oversight twice, I would like the kitchen to pay close attention to the food and how long it’s sitting out or frozen. I just had a slight stomachache and I’ll stay away from eating there for a while until the worry wears off. The chocolate drinks are pretty delicious so I’ll keep Stopping by for that at least.
