    Service was slow. Sat down for 2o minutes before we got any water. Waitress appeared about 10 minutes into the sit, we ordered appetizers which came out before our waters, mixed drinks took forever and my fries were cold with my meal. Talk about a bust for 4 pm on a Sunday with the place halfway full. Throw in a 441$ bill for the family Sunday dinner and left completely disappointed, shameful we won’t be back because this place was where I had my first date with my wife.

    Cute design for the holidays I expected drinks to be expensive which they were but the six dollar cover per person was a lot. Two drinks ended up being over $50 with the cover charge.
    Culinary Dropout - GilbertResponded 1 day ago
    Hi Gina, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you liked the holiday design, and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts. We understand that the cover charge for charity and drink prices might feel a bit steep, and we’ll take that into consideration for future visits. We hope you still had a great time, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Candice

    Decorations were beautiful, cocktails were a overly sweet and could have been more creative. Not worth the price or worth coming back to.

    It took longer than usual to get our dinner. Then one person didn't get their salad before their dinner until reminded and had to be reminded. Another person who was the only one who ordered a sandwich was the last person to get his meal ... much later than the rest of us. Another person requestes no gravy on their mashed potatoes cause of Celiac had gravy on it. Then she said a manager would come over and never did.
