    I will start by saying that I will not ever be going back to this restaurant and suggest future patrons to avoid this establishment. I will always take my business to The Homestead for a nice sit down meal or McDonald's if I'm in the mood for a burger. I have never had the worst service or experience in any restaurant as I have had this evening here.

    To start, we pulled into a not heavily filled parking lot. Not counting the pub half, there was only one party of five eating on the first deck I saw. As we walked into the dining room portion, there were zero patrons sitting there. We were not greeted. Instead, we had to ask politely to be seated and asked if we could sit in the balcony area. We were seated with only a party of two next to us and a party of four about to leave. We were told our waitress would be there shortly.

    She was not. In fact, the hostess didn't even bring out our waters until 5 minutes had passed. 13 minutes after we drank the majority of our water and had been ready to order did our waitress finally make her first appearance. We ordered an appetizer sampler, a Reuben sandwich, a vegetarian pasta dish and waited. Five minutes pass and our waitress returns to inform me that the kitchen ran out of Reuben sandwiches. I decide on a California burger, cooked medium, instead. She says okay and walks off.

    About five minutes pass and a party of 4 - along with a young child - is sat next to us. They were extremely disappointed to hear that everything - and I mean everything - they were hoping for were out. From what I understand, the business was out of an appetizer called zingers, all steak, fried green beans, lobster bisque, and had just ran out of burgers. Apparently my burger was the last. They asked for a round of Alagash White on tap, a made in Maine brew, and they were out. When expressing their disappointment, all they received for feedback back was "our boss is in vacation." NOT an excuse.

    As we waited patiently for our food, our waitress only returned once to the party of two as they flagged her down and asked about dessert. We didn't see her for another 25 minutes, in which time the hostess only came out once to refill waters, skipping our table. When our waitress did finally return, she had our entrees with her. She placed them down and said she would be right back with our appetizer. Mind you, we ordered them first.

    The food quality was extremely subpar in relation to the price point of the menu. The pasta dish was scarce of vegetables. She asked for mushrooms to be added, only to receive three slices of mushrooms inside the dish. There was little flavor as the sauce was hardly there. It did look pretty good from where I was sitting.

    As for my burger, I received it cooked well done. It was lukewarm at best. I observed that it had to have been sitting a decent amount of time as the cheese was starting to solidify again. The french fries were overcooked and cold.

    The appetizer came out 13 minutes after our main course and after we had finished eating. We immediately asked for it to be boxed and for the bill as we had completed eating. She put our food down, took another tables order and came back for the appetizer. She boxed it up in three small boxes as she explained they were out of large boxes.

    As we were leaving, I stopped to explain our situation to the hostess. We were told "I will pass on the message." I did not feel that my message had been genuinely heard. I proceeded to ask her what would be done for the experience we had and she offered to go ask. Upon returning, she explained the very BEST they could offer on our $47 bill was half off the appetizer. That came out to $6.50 off an appetizer we didn't even get to eat nor will be able to enjoy. A $40 experience I never want to experience again.

    The French Onion soup was fantastic! My son had the Cuban sandwich and said it was the best sandwich he'd ever had. I got a Ruben and it was great. My wife got the chicken quesadilla and it was good, but not great. Great service as well.

    Good food and a pleasant wait staff. So pleased to see this place open again!
    Edit- Have now eaten at this restaurant twice, both times I have gotten sick afterwards. I have a gluten allergy and ordered the gluten-free sriracha chicken. I was assured on my first visit that the rice pilaf served was gluten free... I now doubt this. The first time I got sick, I assumed it was something else... the second time... well, I won't be going back again.

    The bartender was pleasant. The food however was not worth the prices we paid. I had the bacon beef tips. The flavor and presence of bacon were nonexistent. My tips were put in a small dish covered in some barbecue soup.My girlfriend had the barbecue mixed grill. Which consisted of very dry chicken in the pork chop covered in Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce. We were also told that butternut squash was the vegetable of the day. We both received sauteed summer squash that was very bitter to the point that it was not edible. When I went there years before I remember a super dining experience with awesome food. Based on last night's visit I will not be returning.

    We grabbed a late dinner after a movie and it was pretty quiet but the service was nice and the food good with a decent selection of beer on tap and a selection of specials. Prices weren't too bad but perhaps a little ambitious for the area. There's some out door seating and a bar area.

    My husband ordered a hangover burger, which came with a fried egg and a very tasty roll. It was great! I had the Caesar salad with crab cakes - delicious! Desserts were homemade and quite good as well. Congrats on the recent reopening!
