    Server raved about loaded steak nachos as an appetizers. So we ordered them, expecting out of this world nachos. They were less than subpar. Cheese sauce had no flavor and chips were nothing more than store bought tortilla chips. Ordered a bowl of loaded potato soup as my main course since we went with a heavy appetizer. Soup had no flavor except grease. Uncertain where the grease was coming from, but you could even see it separating from the soup base. Not as great of an experience as we were hoping for as this restaurant came recommended to us as a must try.

    Our server seemed very rushed and after our order was placed she was nowhere to be found. The tables near us had the same issue. The host interacted more with the customers than she did. When she finally brought us our checks she took 30 min to bring our cards back to the table. The atmosphere and food was fantastic. The waitress needs to be better.

    I had family visiting from out of state. Since I LOVE your restaurant so much, I suggested we go there. The potato soup was terrible and 3 people ordered it. I felt awful. I'm sure they won't return. Too bad too because they are locals. The serving size looked more like a cup of soup rather than a bowl. 🥲

    Service left a lot to be desired. Waited for quite some time for drinks when we needed one. We were never checked on outside of bringing our first round of drinks and our meal. We had 7 at our table and 5 meals were brought out and the other 2 weren’t brought until about 10 minutes later.

    My friends and I all enjoyed our lunch today at The FourNine. I had the delicious Hibachi Wrap with chicken and additional Yum Yum on the side. I tasted my friend’s Bruschetta Burger, and may be trying it my next visit. Five Stars to our server who was very friendly and seemed to appreciate our “humor”
