Reservation was at five got there five minutes early. They told us we could sit down in seats that were already being sitting in. We asked if we could sit at the bar they said no they said you could go outside and walk around where it was raining there was other people already sitting down, there was four of us and only room for two of us to be able to sit down and we asked if we could just sit at our table until 5 o’clock. They said they don’t do that the waitress she was probably for Service but the service coming into was terrible Manager on staff, we said we’ve been here many times. I’ve never been treated this way. She said well we should’ve just left the doors locked then sarcastic customer is not professional. The shrimp that we got barbecued for the appetizer was not hot. Wasn’t even warm. The drinks were way overpriced, thought we were in New York. The steaks were overpriced and not cooked to our Vikings supposedly being one high-end restaurant all of the waiters were wearing blue jeans and tennis shoes not the same place that we visited there in the past the manager attitude and very sarcastic and didn’t care if she had our business won’t go there again, hopefully Jaime gets this message and does some housecleaning

Huge amount of salad for the small wedge and such delicious dressing. The filet is always cooked perfectly and loved their fall soup, butternut squash! Odyssey never disappoints.

From the start, welcomed with a smile and greetings from our server. The food was sooooo delicious! Drinks were tasty. We alerted them what we were celebrating and the table sign was a special touch. Definitely plan to come again when we are back in town.
