The Cottage

Read reviews prior to obliging myself in the best meal.... and was never overcharged, underwhelmed, or waited for a thing. Great service, food, and well valued . Thanks for a great meal, can't wait to come back!

I was very excited about trying The Cottage out for a birthday dinner. I made reservations online a week before and the day of I got a call saying “We are closing early tonight and have to cancel your reservation.” Very unprofessional and disappointing and gave me almost no time in advanced to make reservations elsewhere. Sadly, I don’t believe I’ll try and go again.

Bummer, Really, Next Please! After sitting at our table, we are told the 20% tip at The Cottage is mandatory. We are happy to tip 20% if the service is good. As we sit at our table our daughter comments on the quaintness of the restaurant. She says, this restaurant is cute but I am hot Mom. She goes on to say for an upscale restaurant air conditioning would be nice. I offer my daughter my seat near a large floor fan. My daughter declines my invite to sit near the fan. I should note our the service from our waiter Michael was not good. Michael's service was fair at best. Michael's recommendation of a Merlot/ Cab blend was spendy but worthwhile. After an hour of waiting for our meal Michael told us the appetizer was on the house. I would like to note we watched another table finish their meal, the table linens changed and the new customers with plates of food before our dinner is served. Our meal was two third wonderful. I enjoyed the lovely beef shoulder dish, our daughter liked her tasty southern fried chicken but my husband was unable to cut through the dried out beer cooked chicken beast and dried out wing. The chicken wing was so dried out it resembled a small wish bone. As my husband struggles to find chicken on the chicken bone the waiter never checked on us. The result was my daughter and I each gave part of our dinner to my husband. At the end of the night I could not keep my silence. When the waiter finally shows up at our table my words of disappointment flew. The result, the inedible chicken was removed from our bill but the waiter reignited on his prior offer to waive the appetizer. When paying the check we confirm that The Cottage is not the The Cottage Place and the ownership has changed. I note the change in ownership because my husband and I dined there last year. Last year our dinner was fabulous, the service outstanding and menu style interesting. We will not be back.

The service and food for Sunday Brunch was Amazing. We look forward to visiting The Cottage again soon.

Lovely place to dine. My family and I were here at Christmas and the food and atmosphere made this event very special.
