    I get it…busy day but the food was terrible! Cold and stale. Folks were talking about it throughout the restaurant. And…so many staff walked by ignoring our attempts to get their attention. Definitely need to up their game!

    Service was very bad! Waitress did not even bring water to the table. They were out of the wine we ordered. The only ok service were the servers bringing the meat swords. Waitress never brought us coffee but still charged it to the bill as well as two kids “wrongly” billed as adults. We were also double charged for the check on our credit card and they further kept it and could not find it (someone had taken it to the office!??)

    Food was worth the money. Very nice ambiance. The two down sides to the entire experience were the following. First, the restaurant was extremely cold. Second, the waiter was very responsive at first but then he disappeared and never came back.

    Teething problems. Drinks were late and not properly mixed. Waitress was very pleasant. The Tyson's Virginia location is excellent and much preferred over The Wharf one.

    I feel we had to ask for what we wanted and they didn’t stop at your table often. I didn’t see the entire selection so I missed out trying some of the meats. Joined the rewards program was told they are new so it doesn’t really do anything but send out special for bdays etc

    Maybe it’s the new staff. our experience was — meh. Never could get a waiter to refill our drink, even water. Leave me a bottle on my table, and I’ll do it myself. When we decided we were done, we waited almost 15 minutes and could never find or flag down our table person. Finally, we had to find the manager at a register and ask for the bill. Then we had to wait 10 min more for someone to come take the cards and run them. That means that we couldn’t find someone for almost a solid 30 min. That’s not to say the staff wasn’t attentive. We had meat people still coming by the table every 90 seconds, but someone who could get more water or let us pay our bill—very invisible. The food is solid but not that amazing. We got out for $330 for 3 of us. Which is good enough I guess for an all you can eat meat buffet brought to your table.
