   I wanted to love this place but it simply wasn’t it. It was Valentine’s Day, which we expected to be busy, but we felt terribly for the servers working as they had to be their own bartenders, too. It was hard to track down our server when needed, but I give them credit; they were working multiple jobs at once, and doing a great job. The food was terrible. There’s no sugar coating that. We didn’t enjoy a single aspect of the meal itself. The martini I had was actually quite lovely, but I didn’t bother ordering a second because it was too much of a mess in there. We were excited to leave and sadly will not be back. The overall atmosphere in there was 1/10 at best. It felt so awkward and uncomfortable.

   The food is always good, and the service was excellent. The young lady that waited on us was very friendly and very attentive. Great place to eat.

   We were disappointed with the Fullerton Inn this year. Last year 12/23 they had the tables decorated, there was a gentleman playing holiday music, and the overall experience was very festive. This year the lights were bright like a warehouse (left on for set up), the vases were empty, no music, and the food was average. Very disappointed.

   Wonderful as always!! We sat in the tavern with a view of the gorgeous fire and enjoyed cocktails from the speciality menu. I highly recommend the Chicken Piccata which is served in a buttery garlic lemon sauce with asparagus. My partner got the pork chop which I usually don’t care for, but of course I had to try it. I was shocked by how wonderful it was!! For dessert, we had to get the crème brûlée which was also incredible. Great atmosphere and great company.

   Our food was delicious and delivered nice and hot. The pumpkin cheesecake is to die for! Get it while you can. It’s seasonal. The atmosphere whether in the lounge or dining room is always relaxing.

   I’m going to chalk up the experience to everyone has a bad night occasionally, and it may have been theirs. Long wait for food only to be told after almost an hour that one of the appetizer selections was not available, only to see it go out to another table that arrived at least 30 minutes after we were seated. Not sure if it was the kitchen, but server probably should have realized we had no food on our table after almost an hour! Despite all of the drama, the food was really quite good, so I might be inclined to give it another shot on a quieter night (not a Saturday).
