    I was shocked that they were out of a few basic menu items. Quite disappointing. They left off a few key ingredients regarding our appetizers. While the room was moderately vacant, the server took a long time to service us. The worst thing....the chicken in my caesar salad was woefully undercooked! Horrible!

    Aaron, our waiter was outstanding!!! He was friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful!!! Our food was delicious- I had the fish tacos, my daughter had the chicken sandwich and my sons had steak and Shrimp Fra Diablo! For dessert, we had the strawberry sundae! We had a wonderful experience and will definitely return!

    They are not set up for a large crowd, their bars can’t handle both the bar and the tables. And food orders came out extremely late and not all together.

    This could be such a great restaurant. Sadly, it isn't. It took forever to get drinks (with the meal, I also ordered a glass of wine, but I was charged for something completely different - annoying). The apps were creative, but everything came out like it had sat for 5 minutes—just warm enough not to send it back, but it really should have. The mains were good but could have been better. I love other Landmark-owned restaurants, but this one needs attention from someone who can really make it hum.
