Let me start by saying the food is VERY good and the setting is beautiful! That being said, the service needs attention. We have visited on several occasions and were told there would be a wait but there were NUMEROUS empty tables. Last night was no exception. We arrived and informed the Hostess we had 4 adults and 2 children in our party. She said there would be a 40 minute wait. We could see several empty tables and there was no one waiting ahead of us. I questioned the Hostess about the empty tables (one in the bar area) and she stated the table did not seat 9 people. I said we did not have 9 people, we had 4 adults and 2 small children. She then stomped into the bar area. Soon, someone (who I can only assume was the Manager as she did not introduce herself) was in my face asking what the problem was. I explained the conversation I had with the Hostess and her response was "She's 17 years old and the table did not seat 7 people!" I kept calm and again explained we did not have seven people. I also said if this is a problem, we could go somewhere else. She then seated us at the table in the bar and threw a coupon on the table for a free appetizer with a half-hearted apology for being rude. I will add our waitress was very polite and welcoming. I love the food here and wish they could resolve the service issue.

A restaurant should be judged first by it's food, and this place has nailed it. We are never disappointed, but the joint goes one step further with a terrific ambience, excellent wait staff, beautiful views, and surprisingly reasonable prices. It's become our weekly spot, and with kids eating free every Sunday, our munchkins like it too.

Wonderful food and have always had great service. I sometimes go with a family member who has Celiac disease, and she has never gotten sick from cross contamination of her food, so this seems to be a good place to get safe, gluten free meals.

3/29/2018. Our waitress had to be flagged down for every thing we needed. No water was brought out, glasses were empty when the cold food came. We whistled to get her attention, then the barmaid came over and yelled at us. Train your staff properly! Miss bartender maybe should have asked us if there was a problem.

It's a neat little place, good for catching up or meeting new people. Can't really go wrong with beer and wings!
