"I would have easily given this place 5 stars based on their food. However, the service and pricing were completely ridiculous. We were seated, and an older couple came in after we sat. I watched the owner point to a table without looking at them, and even though the woman said something twice he ignored her and kept walking. Not exactly a way to get return business! The look on her face said it all. After we placed our order (and the order was read back twice), the waitress brought our appetizers, but no plates to put anything on. Finally got some after asking, but then the older couple asked for a condiment, and the female owner literally snapped her fingers and pointed to the older couples table. Which the whole restaurant saw. Extremely unprofessional considering that she could have helped them, but instead went into another part of the restaurant and sat down. The waitress was the only one working and there were a handful of tables so she was super busy and definitely inexperienced. Our food came, and the waitress never cleared the table and then told us the kitchen made a mistake on my daughter's eggs. She wanted overmedium, but they were scrambled. She told us we'd have to pay extra for new eggs and the toast that she ordered. She had a complete meltdown about it, but she kept looking at the owner in a panic. That tells me he is not very business savvy and cares more about money than customers. What policy says that a customer should pay for your mistake? Also, why is your policy that if someone wants toast instead of pancakes, they have to pay $4?? I suggest taking a business class and retraining your staff unless you don't want to stay in business. I'm willing to pay for a good experience, but $100 for what we got was not worth it. Your food is good, but your lack of customer service, high prices, and business practices are certainly in need of an overhaul!"

"Stopped by tonight for the first time for dinner. The service was fine but wasn 't too impressed with the food. I ordered Brian 's Peppercorn Sirloin on the recommendation of staff and a small Gary 's salad. The pears were canned and not great in a salad and the candied pecans were far too sweet with all the other sweetness going on in my opinion. The size of the salad was pretty good for a side, however. As for the steak, while cooked properly, the mushrooms and onions weren 't sauteed at all and were pretty much raw. This and a sauce that reminded me way too much of Salisbury Steak Sauce ruined what might have been an otherwise acceptable cut of meat. The garlic mashed potatoes were acceptable but weren 't served hot. The sauteed veggies that came with were ok. My wife ordered a beyond burger which satisfied her, but also was topped with sauteed onions that were essentially raw. The onion rings may have been the best part of the night, hot, fresh and whole rings of onion inside. ______ Reply to owner: Canned pears and super sweet pecans might be for some people, maybe even most, but it wasn 't for me. Serving raw onions and mushrooms on top of a steak and burger isn 't a matter of preference, it shows that the person preparing the food either doesn 't know what they 're doing behind the grill or just doesn 't care. I don 't even know what to say about the Beyond Burger comment, it 's on your menu and my wife is a vegetarian. It 's not just fair game, but the only reason we came to the restaurant in the first place. If a manager had come by and asked how things were, I would have let them know. I provided my opinion based on my experience, I 'm sorry you don 't like my opinions, but I don 't apologise for either having them nor for sharing them on a review site. When I read other people 's dining reviews I want to know what to eat and what to steer clear of. There 's a million places to eat dinner at, but you only have 1 chance to make a great first impression. Unfortunately this one fell less than great."
