My wife took me to an event on Saturday the 30th, 2017 for my birthday. I hear people speak very highly of this place, so our experience must have been an off night or something.
First I will say my wife saw this event posted on Facebook. She told me we would need to take lawn chairs. A little later she told me they also had VIP tickets, which came with a meal and seating. I will share taking lawn chairs, we would have felt out of place. We didn't see a single lawn chair, or the need for them for that matter. Only about half of the table seating was used.
When we arrived we went to check-in. We were told where the VIP seating was, to be seated and they would serve us. We sat for about 45 minutes, and saw others being attended to. My wife went up to check in, and spoke with the same lady who told us where to sit. She tells my wife we hadn't been started yet, because we didn't tell them what type of dressing we wanted on the salad. In fairness, we were not asked when seated. After my wife offered the requested information, food came out quickly. The salad turned out to be a bowl of dressed lettuce. The meal was good, however some of the potatoes were under cooked. The potato pieces were all different sizes, and so the larger pieces were under cooked and hard.
We ask the same lady about adult drink options, and a wine stand was pointed out to us. I will say a half glass of wine at $7.50 was over prices, and had only one glass.
As we were eating a male server dropped a steam line cover on the ground. He picked it up, and started to put it back on top of the item it once covered. A female who seemed to be in charge stopped him, and he took the dropped cover inside. He came back outside quickly, with what I assume was a fresh cover.
The band, Albino Crowe was outstanding. They played a mix of old school rock and country. We both would enjoy hearing them again. We are glad we heard them, and are now following them on Facebook. So thank you for getting us connect to them.
Regards,
John

Have lunch or dinner in a concrete wine tank! The food is wonderful. Not too fancy unique and not boring. Try the burgers or the brisket with polenta or mashed potatoes. Fun place with a nice bar
