    We were there to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary. We had a great time! Our server, Patty, was absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for making the night special.

    Something a little extra in our area. The food is so good. Enjoyed the Monday night special of Crab legs. Our server Mandy J was excellent and professional. We always think, we need to come back more!

    Our waiter told us that one of the ordered Caesar salad someone else took it and so one person from our party had to wait a few minutes for the salad. I ordered a salad bar and waited for plates. Finally got up and went and found plates in the salad bar. Two of the meals come right out after waiting quite a while. The scallops were luke warm. Then the third meal came out. Finally after they got a quarter away through their meal, my meal finally come out . I ordered the wagyu steak medium rare and it was medium. We also waited forever for refills. When the waitress brought our check, she laid it down on the plates that had been used. We still tipped the waitress, but we felt she was overwhelmed and the kitchen wasn’t keeping up. For the price of the meals, we felt the service was subpar.

    We usually love Sweet Water Chophouse, but our last visit was not the best. Both my husband's dinner and mine, was very Salty. All we could taste was salt. We didn't have alot of time, as we had somewhere else to go that night. So we both kept eating and mentioned it to out server part way through, hoping they would atleast try to make it right some how. We ended up paying full price for our meal, which totalled to a little over $80 (which was way too much to spend for the quality of food we recieved). They only thing we really enjoyed this time was the dessert we took to go.
