We ordered: Parfait Chicken and waffles x 2 Spicy chicken sandwich The parfait said it came with berries but only came out with blueberries. We had a side cup of fruit with one of our entrees and there were strawberries, blackberries , and blueberries in the cup. So, the parfait could have came with more “berries” than just blueberries. I did not care for the chicken and waffles but my 15yr old son did. The chicken wings came in a hot and spicy honey sauce and the temperature of the wings were warm. The sauce had an okay taste but they were saturated in the sauce (which is thick) and detracted from the taste of the meal. The spicy chicken was overcooked (some parts burnt) and overly dry. Our waiter was great, the ambience was great, but the food itself was a major let down. I did let the waiter know our distaste for the wings so the manager took some off our bill. Really appreciate that. We went for brunch so maybe their dinner is better. The dinner menu did look far more appealing in the photos.

We had a reservation before a concert and it took 30 minutes to get seated. They didn't have a host and seemed to be understaffed in the dining room as well. The server who seated us said she would be right back, but literally never came back. Someone else finally came and asked if we were being waited on... She was supposedly the Food and Beverage manager but had no clue about the beer or wine selection. We We ordered the coconut curry mussels as an appetizer. Then waited and waited. She took out dinner order and we waited some more. We ordered braised short ribs, and the fillet. Finally they brought out our mussels, and our entries at the same time. My carrots were cold but everything else was fine. We ordered the caramel apple bread pudding too. All the food was wonderful, it was the service that was atrocious. It took forever for them to check on us after the food came and to get our check. Chalk it up to a bad night for them, maybe?
