I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. My last visit (for a networking event) was at least 9 years ago... The food & ambiance was stellar then, and it still is now! Everything is still cherry and bright: the dining area, the staff, and the energy. I will certainly visit more often.

Food and service was awesome. Only reason I put 3 stars on value is because of inflation. It is getting too expensive to go out and eat. Not Skipper’s fault.

Yesterday we went to Rishtedar and ate Indian cuisine for the first time. My husband despite being sceptical gave in and we went in and enjoyed everything we ate. Everything was good, from Samosas to Murgh Tawa Masala to Cheese Naan. Excellent service, highly qualified staff at the tables with detailed explanations for each dish, and customer care. We had the feeling of being transported to India, fantastic atmosphere and atmospheric venue. Absolutely must try!

We chose Don Jorge's at the last minute as there were not a lot of choices on a Saturday night. The reviews looked good, so we gave it a try. We are so glad we did! If you like Tex-Mex food, this is the place to go. There was a DJ that also sang and had a surprisingly good voice. The decor is simple yet clean. And the food was great. Everything we tried was perfect including the freshly made salsa. If you are in the mood for Tex-Mex, I would highly recommend Don Jorge's!

We had a wonderful time in the bar and at dinner. Our server Kendall was attentive and informative. The only bit of feedback I have is when we checked in with the hostess- we requested to be seated earlier if possible....At 8:30, our reservation time, I walked out to the stand to be seated and she told me she had texted me 30 minutes ago. Earlier, she said she would come in the bar and get us. when I asked why she didn't just walk in the bar, she said to be honest I forgot what you looked like. there are lots of techniques that can be taught to solve that problem. So that was a let down in our experience.

Quite possibly one of the greatest dining experiences of my life. Grace was our server and made the experience unforgettable with her welcoming charm. She was clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. the food was extremely creative and well prepared. I ordered the pork chop entree and honestly, it's the best I have ever had anywhere. My wife had the baby back ribs as a starter and we were blown away with the unique preparation. Our cocktails were also top notch. The speed of service and the humor from the bartender rounded out the experience to make for the perfect Valentine's night out. If you haven't been to the red lion, you are missing out on a truly special experience.
