    The food was good and the service was OK. I still think that when you pay that much for food the service should be fantastic! I don’t think the server had too many tables, but we had to keep asking for refills on our drinks ,steak sauce, more bread, etc.. Another server actually stopped by and gave us some refills on water and something else. I belong to your rewards so I was under the impression that I got $10 off each campfire meal ordered instead I got one $10 off and then they took $15 in my rewards to bring the bill down. There were four of us who ordered two campfire meals.
