Update to notes below!
I received a call from the owner today because of my last review and the email to the restaurant I felt was necessary last night when I got home from dinner. Concern, an explanation which I can totally understand but not at all dismissive or blaming anyone or anything! This is something that I think is sadly missing from business, in general, these days. I think this is also one of the reasons I have always liked this place so much...they care about what they do. Also part of what bothered me so much last night, just how out of character the last few visits have been.
Something I believe in lately, perhaps more than ever, Understanding! These are trying times for a lot of people and we all need to be more understanding...I need to be more understanding...except for that tiny bun....I won't understand that!
Glad I said something, glad they cared enough to reach out and I will honestly say I am looking forward to my next meal and bourbon manhattan. And I am looking forward to hopefully things getting back to some sort of normal and supporting places like this until they do!

Lst nights review:
I have to say, this has been a staple of what can be good in the burbs..away from the city but perhaps like 2020..the dumpster fire rages.
Now, this is the ONLY place I have done take out from over the last 3 months...the whole Covid thing. Love the fact they have kept it going and are back up and doing things. Tonight though, a major disappointment which has been growing from the take out.
My daughters birthday dinner. Reservation for the patio..when I show up, "no I have you inside..it will be 90 minutes for a patio seat". OK, that's my fault, your website Reservation thing is unclear or wrong? I selected PATIO!!!! Sure, but I can wait 90 minutes because of your mistake....
We get a table inside on a beautiful night...good gauq...great service, tasty cocktail. Dinner...hmmm, menu is not a home run but I figure I'll do a burger....by far, one of the worst good Restaurant burgers.. slider, tiny bun with a Craft single for the cheese...really...Is this Fridays? Daughters meatloaf was burnt, salad was literally a pile of bag lettuce with a delicious homemade Ranch...nothing else on a salad...just a hand full of bag lettuce?? Bun for my burger was cold, bacon...cold, burger was good but again, this was a slider, tiny bun and burger..
I am not sure if this is trying to make up for the whole shut down or just a downturn in the way they want to do business...They gave me 50% off my slider and shitty bag salad but I still think this was over-price, poorly performed and barely average! May be the last time.
