Culinary Dropout

I went here for the first time with one of my friends to catch up. When I pulled in, I was not expecting the entire parking lot to be valet only, but I told them I just need a disability space. Valet said he could park it there for me, but I declined again repeating I just need a disability space and then just parked myself. Valet person was not happy with me for not using their service, but I didn't let it bother me. I entered through what looked like a small alley and walked to the humongous outdoor dining area where my friend was waiting for me at a table. They had a bowl of water waiting for me and my service dog. Several people arrived later with their pet dogs, as this is a pet friendly restaurant. I ordered a nice green hibiscus tea. I have a very strict diet with no gluten or dairy, so finding something I could eat was difficult. I told the waitress I saw a meatloaf dish online and asked if they still have that because it wasn't on the menu there. She reported it is a lunch item but is not on the brunch menu; however, she could run back there and ask if they could make it for me. When she came back, she told me they could, so I ordered it. My friend ordered the pretzel bites and fondue. The food arrived at the perfect temperature. The meatloaf came with green beans and mashed potatoes with gravy. It was amazing! My friend reported her pretzel bites and fondue were really good as well. The waitress kept checking in with us and replaced drinks as needed, so service was excellent. There were families using the ping pong tables and corn hole. It had a great atmosphere. I don't think I personally will be returning because of the parking issue, but otherwise, this is a great place to meet with friends to dine and catch up.

This was my first time going here and we went for a reserved function. It took a while for our drinks to come. Also, I'm gluten-free via an allergy and I wasn't able to eat the buffet that was provided, aside from the raw veggies. Not sure if it was pre-selected or not by the group we were with. Otherwise, according to everyone there, the food was amazing. Awesome atmosphere. Played bags and had a great time.
