    Food as always is on point. Service can slow down when its very crowded. I think it is due to lack or not enough bus support staff. When hostess & waitress have to perform services that a bus person has to do it takes away from their primary responsibility of tending to the customers for food and more drinks. Their sister restaurants have ample bus persons not sure why this one does not. I was here for valentines and now our anniversary and both times wait time for table service was slightly delayed compared to their other spots and we frequent them all regularly. we want this one to be our special occasion go to since the three others are next to where we live. we will return because of the food and atmosphere.

    We made a reservation for Friday night because most restaurants around here are busy on Fridays. We've been to Wild Goose before, sometimes sitting at a table, and sometimes at the bar. We live nearby. My husband doesn't love it because the food is hit-or-miss, and it's really expensive (more than most places around here). I like their drinks and some of their food (especially the fish tacos). I have to eat gluten-free and dairy-free, and the fish tacos are pretty good, and they're not breaded, so I can eat them. They easily take off the cheese and sour cream to make them dairy-free. They have a nice spicy sauce on them, too. Anyway, we wanted to sit at the bar but they were all full, so I had to make the reservation for a table. The place was packed and very noisy. They only seemed to have two servers, who were not fast enough to keep up. It took quite a while for anyone to take our drink orders, let alone bring the drinks. He ordered a beer, and the waitress came back with the beer list, saying they were out of the one he picked, to get another one. We didn't see her come back for a long time. She didn't bring his beer until he was halfway done eating. It was hard to catch her attention. We only got appetizers, since they are pretty filling and because of the price. She seemed to have an attitude about that (like maybe we weren't spending enough). That may be in our imagination, though, due to having to wait so long in a loud place. She didn't ask me if I wanted another soda, nor did she ask if we wanted dessert. It took a long time to get our check. We probably won't come back any time soon. FYI it was the brunette woman server, not the blonde, who was working that evening.

    There were only two waitresses and it was a busy evening, but that being said, they never came back to the table once to see how anything was, or to give us water. The muscles were the tiniest ones I’ve ever seen and they were cold.  There are so many good restaurants to try. I doubt that I would come back here.

    Very good food and service. Mixed drinks could be a little stronger.
