  Put on hold so the person could finish her drama story. I called to get information and make a reservation for a business dinner. The person that answered the phone asked if I could hold on a moment. She did not even bother to put me on hold, instead I got to listen to her talk with someone there about some sort of drama that had occured. Well, guess I won’t bother bringing business guests to this establishment.

  If they serve the same dinner fare as they do for a reception, then chances are you are in for instant mashed potatoes, well-done and dry steak. Dry chicken. Wilted, dry 1 ounce portion of spinach salad with 3 strawberries, not whole strawberries mind you, just three slices! Over cooked broccoli, and soupy pasta. The pictures on the website lie. If you plan on doing your reception here, think twice. On a positive note, the bar drinks they offered were delicious!

  Disappointing Groom’s Dinner. I can’t speak about the normal bar and restaurant service, the bartenders seemed quite decent, and it is an attractive space. However, with the indifferent service my family was given for my groom’s dinner, I cannot recommend booking such special events there.The problems started when my mother, who was trying to make the arrangements, was not getting the emailed replies to her online request for information, because they were winding up in her overzealous email spam folder. Despite my emailing the coordinator that my mom, a grandmother pushing 70 who is less than confident in her computer skills, would prefer communication via telephone, the coordinator did not reply via phone to phone messages left, instead emailing me. It was only by sheer luck that my mom happened to check her spam folder and found the email replies sent several weeks earlier.For our scheduled in-person meetings to make the arrangements, despite having scheduled the appointments, we always had to wait at least 15 minutes. In the first such meeting, despite my mom walking with a cane and showing obvious intense pain from two knees due for replacement, she was not offered a seat until one of us asked if we might sit at one of the tables.At the meeting, we were promised a TV and DVD player to use for displaying a slideshow during the dinner. When I came to test the setup the night before, the DVD player rolled out was about the size of the old Betamax video recorders that would be rolled out in my elementary school classes once or twice a year back in the ’70’s – and there were no power cords or cables to connect to the TV that worked. I wound up having to use my notebook computer, and had to try to figure out the connections on my own – eventually getting the video to work, but having to rely on the notebook’s tinny speakers for the audio.On the night of the actual dinner, when large groups of family members requiring two tables desired to sit near each other, rather than have staff offer to move the tables, it was put upon us to move them ourselves. The staff was right there to start cleaning up the place before my bride-to-be, parents, and I left, though. This despite it being well before 9:00 PM. On a Friday night. When we were going to leave fairly soon, anyway, given that we had a morning wedding to wake up early for.Other issues? There was no salad, even though I recall us specifying the salad desired during the initial meeting. There were no dinner rolls, which were not even offered as options. I hate to be negative, and I am usually one of the last to complain about service, but I felt like our business was barely tolerated, rather than desired.

  Great Burger. My wife and I stopped over on the 14th of June 2012 and we were interested in having a little something to eat and a glass of wine. The staff could not have been better at this little bar. The 5120 burger (unadorned) I had was the best I’ve eaten at least in a couple years. I ordered it medium rare and it came spot on medium rare with a nice searing on the outside. It was a very tasty burger I would have been proud to have produced on my own grill. The wine selection is a little weak but we found a couple we enjoyed. Seriously, go for the burger. On the basis of the burger I’m thinking I would try a steak next time. We also had a cheese plate to nibble on and found it quite worthwhile with the crostinis – more of which the bar tender brought us without our needing to ask.
