    Great football weekend visiting the Big House and hanging out in AA. Table was ready on time, but waiter was VERY SLOW and food coming out was even slower. Didn’t take our drink orders for almost 30 mins and then told my daughter, oh I’m sorry we don’t have that drink anymore, that’s the “old drink menu”! Then why did you give it to us?? 1 appetizer took 40+ mins to get. Place wasn’t even that crowded, as we were dining late. Food was excellent, but waiting so long in between and having to ask for more water, etc. is NOT good in a restaurant of this caliber! Even though we had in the reservation it was my Son’s birthday and checked with hostess when I got there and she said they had it down, Nothing was done to acknowledge such! The food is good, but they gotta do better on the service end.

    The bar was very slow. Took quite awhile to get our drinks. Waiter was nice but enjoyed giving the third degree to my 21 year plus children when they ordered a drink/apparently ID was not enough but questions were in order. Strange. Otherwise, dinner was delicious and we had a great time.

    Excellent service and delicious food. Our location was near the window so we watched the train come by which was fun.

    Delicious dinners of Halibut with a fantastic corn sauce & couscous and Dynamite Mahi Mahi. We started with an excellent Caesar salad and enjoyed a wonderful bottle of Oregon Pinot Noir. Service was professional and the old train station is lovely. Only problem is an understaffed valet. Be patient when parking. Try the lot across the street.
