Last night family and friends gathered for live music at The Pour House and we had a splendid evening. Wait staff was very attentive all night. Food and drinks were excellent. At the end of the night, our check was a bit higher than expected, however, no mistakes were made, the pricing in general is just a little “pricey”. I guess next time we need to pace ourselves a little better with our drinks. 😁

It took a really long time to get our drinks (wine, beer, bourbon mixed drink). We had to ask and were told the bar was “doing their thing” but we were watching the 2 bartenders not doing much. We had to ask for plates for our appetizer. Twice. Nothing was said to make us feel they knew they were slacking on customer service. General disappointment.

Very busy for Valentine’s Day, so I take that into consideration. Ambience was exceptional. Alcohol was good. Appetizer was good. Main course was improved from my last visit. It was a wonderful time for the occasion. Pricing was a bit high for the food, but I think on a non holiday, it would be even better. Giving 5 stars. Very pleased and this place will remain on my list.

Had high hopes as we have been to many other LSC restaurants but this place was a miss. The bread plate on our table was overtly dirty when we sat down. We ordered an appetizer that included chips that were stale. Food was otherwise ok. 3.5 stars at best

Dinner for NYE. Appetizers included shrimp cocktail and caprese salad. Both were disappointing. The shrimp appeared to be frozen, pre cooked shrimp and the sauce tasted from a jar. On their fb page, they had a photo of the caprese salad on a rectangular plate with a bit of arugula and several tomatoes and mozzarella balls, what was receive was a salad bowl of arugula with a few tomatoes and mozzarella balls. The pesto was very good. Entrées were: Chilean Sea Bass with Roasted Vegetables and Broccolini and Wild Mushroom Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and Garlic Spinach. The Sea Bass was way over cooked, to the point of it not even being finished. Potatoes and vegetable were fine. Chicken was fine but not exciting. Mashed potatoes were fine but did lack a little in flavor. Garlic spinach was good and had a nice flavor. We did express our disappointments upon being asked how things were by the floor manager. Dessert was the Bourbon Pear with Vanilla Bean Gelato. It was delicious. The gelato had a wonderful vanilla flavor. The waitress was very pleasant and attentive, maintaining a smile even knowing we were displeased with our food. She was sweet. I was excited to learn the black bean burger was back. Was quite disappointed when the Impossible Burger replaced it some time ago. My advice is to go it but get a burger and fries. Their burgers are their highlight.

Well we were going to a show and our very nice wait staff let us know in advance for us to eat and make the show we should order maybe the flatbreads or salads- we went with the flatbreads and they were not good. Not tasty at all- comparable to a bad frozen pizza at best- disappointed
