Left after 1 and a half hour wait, and realized call in parties had priority over guests waiting in person. Even the bartender, if you could call her a bartender, was extremely rude and inattentive.
We've been there 4 or 5 times over the last 18 months and have enjoyed the meals and the service. While it is a heck of a drive from South of 44, we went without reservations or call ahead and were seated with 15-30 min. There were, 4,6 or 8 of us and it worked out. Having said that, none of the trips were in "snow bird season", which may have something to do with it.
