    Unfortunately our food came out cold 2x (after sending it back to the kitchen). Was forced to then order something we didn’t necessarily want but needed to have something for dinner. The manager was nice and took the entrées off the bill, but would expect a higher level of service at a restaurant like this.

    My family and I have gone to THE STATION for many, many years. A girlfriend of mine had given me a 50 gift certificate from there for my August birthday. So, with my adult son & his wife we 3 ate there on a foggy, gloomy Saturday night. My son & I can rarely resist the delicious pasta bolognese and his wife got the hangar steak special. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, our great service and our conversation. They had a Station coffee at the end which they loved and I got a cafe latte. This place is always dependable for lunch or for dinner and its truly one of my very top favorites!

    Food was exceptional, as was the service -- and with it being Christmas Day, we were lucky to find such a restaurant open. For many reasons, it was a very special occasion, and Blue MOrl was the perfect place for it. We'll be back!
