1 /5 Benge Kayla “Kaiiii”: My family and I chose here for my birthday dinner this past weekend, based on the positive reviews we had seen. While the atmosphere was genuinely nice and we were seated immediately, the rest of the evening was a significant letdown.
Service was atrocious. After being seated right away, we seemed to have been forgotten. We waited an eternity for our drinks, and the food took over an hour to arrive, despite the restaurant having only one other occupied table. This kind of wait time for such little business is simply unacceptable, especially for a special occasion.
The ambiance, though visually pleasant, was ruined by a group of drunk, loud golfers who continuously cursed throughout our dinner. This is not the family-friendly environment one expects.
The food was a total hit-or-miss, mostly miss:
The Good: The fried deviled eggs appetizer was a standout and quite good.
The Bad: The kids meal was disappointing, even for the 8 year old eating it. The grilled cheese was bad, the chicken tenders were bad, and the accompanying fries were cold and sparse.
The Ugly: The shrimp diablo, was inexplicably both bland and unbearably spicy—a combination that made it almost inedible.
I had hoped this would be a memorable birthday meal, but the overall experience was frustrating. While the nice setting and prompt seating were positives, they cannot overcome the extremely poor service, unacceptable noise level, and significant food quality issues. I have to assume, based on the prior reviews, that they were having an extreme "off day," but based on our experience, we would definitely not return.
