Stopped in for dinner around 4:00. We were given menus and then ignored....no drink order taken, it was like we were invisible....and we were the only people sitting at a table. The two women behind the bar looked at us 3 times and still no one took our order. Finally after 15 minutes, we left. Apparently if you're not sitting at the bar, they're not interested in serving you.
