Best KPortal Reviews

First time to this restaurant. Was pleasantly surprised. We had the pizza special for Monday with small antipasto salad. Pizza was 4 slices of deep dish with choice of 2 toppings. Pizza was delicious, salad was huge. Will definitely come back to this local restaurant. By the way it’s attached to a hotel.
The pizza was good. The tables and bathroom were clean. They must have been short staffed because it took them a long time to bring out our beverages- we could hear them saying they ran out of cups.
The kids grilled cheese was really bad- my son cried when I made him eat half, and I felt awful after taking a bite afterward because it was really gross.
The employees were friendly. Food was priced fairly.
I would order pizza from them again. They also have frozen yogurt. The yogurt itself was good, but they had toppings out like caramel that needed to be refrigerated like it says on the bottle, and were room temperature.
Had lunch good bacon cheeseburger.
Waffle fries with bacon bits and cheese.
Nice place bar / grill. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and food.
Normally, I would not rate any place this low. However, the main reason was the service was the issue! 1st, I must admit there was one server. She was covering six tables, and the bar area where appropriately six people sat. Once we arrived, there was one couple who sat down before us and three other couples who sat after us! Within five minutes, the server checked on the couple before us. She then checked to see what we wanted to drink. We ordered one beer and two glasses of water with fried mushrooms. Then she checked with the other tables to see what they wanted to drink / eat. The couple in front of us received their food. The two couples who came in after us received their orders. Our appetizer finally came with the beer and water. We ordered our main dish! While waiting for the main dish, the first couple paid for their meal. The couples that arrived before us were getting refills for their drinks. Our sever dropped the food off, salad, and flatbread for wife (she said it was good), hamburger for me (pretty good). A few minutes later, the server asked if everything was ok and if my wife wanted another beer! My wife said no thanks and asked for some more water. Within the next 20 - 30 minutes, the server walked by us to give the other two couples to go boxes, I again asked her for water, I sat my empty glass at the end of the table. I observed our server refilling other customers' glasses in front of us. Our server came to get checks from the couples who came in after us, and then they got up and left. The server eventually got us some water. We paid our bill, and then we left!
Very good customer service and awesome atmosphere! Hotel is connected righ to it, can't go wrong at all! Def a must place to stop and have a drink & a meal!!!
Great food and great service.. though the tip was added into the price of the meals. I don't like that..
Since the first time I've stepped foot in the Gathering Place it has been nothing but positive. Usually only go for drinks, but the food is good as well. Love the doughballs! Bartenders... oh the bar tenders, they look like they will rip your throat out, but they are the sweetest ladies you could meet. Always good music, and great drinks. Prices aren't bad either.
We should have left when it took 10 min to get a menu and a drink order. However we stayed. There was only a couple tables being used but food took a long time too and all of it was cold. Appetizer came out with our meal. Meal was dropped and no waitress to be seen for 20 min. Will not return.
