    Friar Tucks & Victorian Christmas go together! This combo has been our tradition to get in the HOLIday spirit pretty much since we moved in the area almost 10 years ago! Our server Lila was our server and she took really good care of our party of 6! I really liked the way the reservations and seating was handled this year, it wasn’t a claustrophobic feeling as it has been in the past years.

    Service was extremely slow, even for a Victorian Christmas Day. Waitress rarely checked on us and some of our food was cold when served. The steak was seasoned oddly, and not as described on the menu. Our dining companion sat there unable to eat it but also unable to order a replacement meal. Chocolate fondue had a good assortment of dippers, but chocolate was cold. We usually eat dinner there when coming up for the weekend, and we usually really enjoy it, but we were very disappointed, especially since we had friends with us.

    Rather disappointed that the restaurant has moved away from the fondue experience. Only fondue left is a cheese fondue. The meat and chocolate fondue are no longer available. While it is a decent restaurant, it no longer has any special appeal and we will look for another restaurant that has special fun food experiences.

    Hi Carl, Thanks for the feedback. We still have chocolate fondue (on the dessert menu) and three cheese fondues that include meat. We're happy the service and ambiance were five stars during your experience with us. Thanks again!

    Prime rib entree was a very generous portion of meat. The creamed spinach could have had more spinach in it.

    I thought our server got lost after I ordered a beer, but the service picked up and improved. I asked for my 10 oz sirloing to be medium rare and it was more like medium well. I asked for a differrent veggie and of course that went wrong, but quickly and easily corrected, not billed for it--so all ended up "good". We would go again.

    The food was excellent. Steak with blue cheese crust melted in your mouth. We would’ve preferred steak over sausage with the fondue, but otherwise it was very tasty. Mock tail was very good too!!
