A: This was our first time eating here and we had an amazing experience! Our chef and waiter were very friendly and attentive. The food was amazing!! We got fried rice, chicken, New York steak, filet mignon, shrimp, and lobster. The filet mignon and shrimp were the best I've ever had... Definitely a must! I wish I had gotten our chef's name. All of the food was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Our 7 year old absolutely loved it and was begging to come back again. We will be back very soon!

Q: negative

A: This place is inconsistent. Every time we come here the quality is different. The burgers used to be delicious and most recently they waver. They do have great discounts- which is what keeps us coming back. The biscuits they give are also very tasty.

Q: positive

A: Expect to wait if you go during a busy time. Their outdoor seating practically doubles their available tables, so try to go on a nicer day and you'll probably increase your chances of getting a table quicker. Then again, it'd probably be busier as well, so good luck! That said, wait for a table. This is one of those restaurants where if the host says it will be a 45 minute wait you should gladly do so! Tip: Sandwiches come a la carte. Sides can be ordered (such as their delicious Ale Asylum cheese curds or their sour cream and chive fries) in a 'family size' or individual. Smart money is on the family size for about $2-3 more to get a bigger portion and share with the table. Everyone I was with absolutely loved their sandwiches. Fresh ingredients, amazing seasoning on everything, delicious appetizers, and best of all this place has drink specials on the weekend if you're going for a later dinner. Will definitely return!

Q: negative

A:
The interior of this newly remodeled space is beautiful and inspiring, and we were excited. First off, our waitress was highly unskilled, fidgety and downright uncomfortable. She babbled about the menu, and steered us away from the most exciting concept of this new "American" cuisine restaurant....the supposedly locally grown monthly chef's menu. She noted several times that they were proud of their "scratch" kitchen, and the menu had our mouths watering. Everything was just OK at this point - we weren't going to let a bad server ruin our night. Until every other waiter offered their tables bread but ours, so we sat for 40 min. with no bread, no visit from our waitress, who was busy goofing off and flirting with everything and everyone on staff. When our food finally came, we realized REALLY quickly, that there was nothing fresh nor creative, nor yummy about this food. It was so disappointing. On top of it all, it was super expensive. I paid $22 for a steak and $25 for ribs that I could have gotten better at Perkins off the beltline, and I would never even go there. We wondered how the food could have possibly been executed so poorly. The food/veggies was so overcooked and felt like the whole meal came "fresh" from the microwave or a leftover Tupperware container. Mashed potatoes were clearly from powder and scooped onto the plate with an industrial scooper, the BBQ sauce tasted allot like the Kraft crap at the grocery store. I guess all we were missing were the Bush's baked beans, b/c EVERYTHING was from a can not from scratch. We were sad. The worst part about this place is that it could be so great. The menu, if cooked and presented properly is a great concept, they have obviously dumped allot of money into this place. I hope that the investors wake up soon, try the amazing food of their competitors in town (Harvest, Sardine, Brasserie V, Quivey's Grove, Great Dane...and the list goes on), study the competitive pricing, and get the chef some cooking lessons. Also, stop lying to customers about everything being from scratch!
