Q: Bravo Zulu, on time, text friendly, emailed receipt, highly recommend!

A: positive

Q: Service was fantastic! Absolutely fantastic. If the weather's nice, grab a seat in the small outdoor/patio section. The course option was recommended. We chose the 4 course deal which turned out to be a LOT of food and I've got a big appetite. Go with the three if you aren't that hungry. The food is good...not great but very good. You can be very adventurous here if you like. The crispy pigs ears is a favorite. I didn't try. I did get the squid ink risotto which wasn't my favorite. The cheese selections are fantastic. Also, very tasty fresh drinks. They nailed a few of drinks...very creative. The server will point you in the right direction.

Q: Since the new owners took over, the service has been improving each time I visit. Today was the exception. I always go on the weekend, and the wait is no surprise. The issue was not the wait, or the food or my server (the young blonde with glasses was phenomenal). The issue was the etiquette of the manager, the new middle-aged female hostess, and the mid-late thirties blonde male server. In a straw hat (WHY?), the manager was bothering tables, interrupting mid-bite, or just after a server had checked on them. She wasn't managing anything. The HOSTESS was pleasant, but unaware of the awkwardness she caused by pre-seating two parties at tables with one less chair than people, leaving them in disbelief while she struggled to get around them to bring them the missing chair. When she took us to our table, she stopped in front of the counter as the SA finished bussing the table, causing a traffic jam for the servers on their way to the patio with a tray full of drinks. She turned to me and said "Doesn't it seem that they go slower when you need them to go fast?" I would rather wait the extra minute, on the patio, away from the runway, than be in that position. I'm sure the other parties would prefer waiting a minute while preparations were completed rather than being seated at a table that wasn't ready, subsequently being put into an awkward musical chairs of sorts. The OVERCROWDED dining room was a spectacle. The tall mid-late thirties male server hurried from the kitchen, chewing and looking desperate for food, and walking straight into another server carrying plates to one of his tables. I heard and saw him snap his finger and say "OHHH SHIT" as he rushed to the table to ask the guest if sour cream was okay. He obviously didn't' remember till the last second, and at a 45 minute wait/plate time, the guest said it was okay. All the while the hostess meandered through the dining area, getting in others' way and looking dazed and out of place... This place is good, but they really need to filter and train their help before throwing them into the weekend rush.

Q: It wasn't a busy night at the neighborhood, but you could have been fooled by how long the food took. While it did take a while everyone was extremely friendly. The food did come out hot, at least mine did, the rest of the plates were plate-warmer hot. Everyone in the table resented me for "holding back" the table since they staff pointed out they were waiting on my burger. Which hey works as a segway onto the burger. Quesadilla Burger. I knew that was a mistake but I did it anyways. The patty was sorta flavorful. The toppings were in the bland category. Cheese went MIA. And the tortilla were over-toasted and tasteless. A big blah overall, which is sad, since we've had a grand ole time and good food in past visits.
