Tack Room Restaurant & Bar

Could've, should've been better.  No really, I remember several years back really enjoying this place.  The food now is terrible, the ribs were bones with burnt barbecue sauce on them.  The chicken was thin, a little chewy smothered in barbecue sauce.  I've tasted better cardboard then this bread!  The service was, well a little creepy, the bus boy/host handled the top of the glasses with his noticeably dirty fingers (maybe it was dried on barbecue sauce!)  The waitress however was fun, friendly, efficient and competent.  However when we had to request some meat on the bones (I've given my dog meatier bones) or a replacement dinner we could hear the very loud verbal abuse from the kitchen and worried considerably about even eating the replacement dinner.  We should've been treated better-any other restaurant would've been interested in pleasing the customer, comp, free desert something we spent over $60 (I would've rather donated the money to a charity).  We were far too polite to confront the management but had to warn, okay vent because they are giving local eateries a bad name.  Local should be better right?  I really challenge management to step up to the plate and work on these issues.

Went to the Tack Room last Friday for my birthday.  Had seen a write up on it in the newspaper that raved about it - whoever wrote that has no taste buds.  My steak (ribeye) was cooked rare as I had requested, but over half of it was inedible gristle and tough meat.  Told the waitress about it and she said "Oh", took the plate and walked away.  Was expecting some sort of credit on the bill, but got charged the full price!  Never going there again --

We just had a absolutely excellent meal to celebrate my parents birthdays. The service was prompt and friendly.  Mom and Dad were given their choice of dessert. The raspberry cheesecake was outstanding as was the chocolate moose cake. I would definitely recommend this place as we were told about it by a friend today.
