I called around noon to make a reservation for six people, and they were able to accommodate us for the same night at 6:30 pm. Later in the day, around 4 pm, I called to add an additional person, and that wasn 't an issue. When we arrived at 6:25 pm, the restaurant was bustling, so I was relieved that I had made reservations. However, when I informed the hostess about our 6:30 pm reservation, I was told they don 't take reservations but only call aheads. This was news to me, as it wasn 't mentioned when I called twice earlier in the day. Fortunately, we only had to wait about 10 minutes for our table. Once seated, we placed our orders, but it took over an hour before our food arrived. Our server did keep us informed that our table was next, but we still waited another 20 minutes until the food was on our table. I 've dined at this restaurant before and enjoyed the food, but on this particular night, it didn 't meet my expectations. The food was just okay. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the salmon special, salmon entrée, schnitzel sandwich, schnitzel entrée, and chicken tenders for the kids. Considering the cost and what we received, we probably won 't be returning. It 's not worth the drive and the uncertainty of whether it was just an off night for the kitchen. On a positive note, our server was attentive, personable, and ensured our drinks were always replenished, which was the one aspect she had control over. As a side note, the restaurant doesn 't offer anything special for birthday celebrations.

Took an hour to get food. Got the special. Salmon was hot, but the side was just barely warm. Service was slow. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes: Banana Pudding
