Completely see where you're coming from. I think what I should have mentioned was that staff could have talked UP the evening menu, instead of apologizing for it. "I'm delighted that you've come at this time of the day because we have our amazing dinner menu available...." Isn't it funny how easily a few words can change our perception? Thanks for the feedback Terry! Thanks for the feedback Terry. Completely see where you’re coming from.

Seventy seats are outdoor dining & 100 seats indoor. Due to the fact that food on our kitchen line changes between breakfast & lunch, and between lunch & dinner due to limited refrigeration space to have everything available at all times our staff has to notify people when this changeover occurs. In our case we don't appologize for this but it is important that customers know why you can't offer lunch & dinner items at the same time. I appreciate your comments though.

It is hard to determine whether someone wants a bar snack or the full menu. Servers are getting shy about what to offer clients because they have been the receivers of negative feedback from clients who were merely looking for a bite and a beer vs the full menu. it is merely a sign of these economic times.
