Outstanding. As a New Yorker I'm picky about "diners" but since it was Cameron Mitchell we decided to give it a go. Drinks were great, food was Outstanding and our service was top notch. Will definitely be going back. We had the meatloaf ans stroganoff and wow! Amazing

The Pros: The 2 of us were greated upon arrival and sat instantly at 5:45 on Thursday, as they were not very busy. Food was tasty as usual (romano crusted chicken, pot roast special, chicken tortilla soup (soup was $8.49 for a little cup). Our waiter tell us to have a good evening when we were leaving. But that is really the only good from our waiter.
Cons: we waited about 10 minutes for the waiter to come to the table. Not really a big deal, but there were not very many customers in there that appear to be his tables, so maybe he was in the restroom or something?. Again not really a big deal, but no apology from him or anything when he got to the table. His name was Ernie D. I thought he said Ernesto was his name. He talks kind of soft and mumbles, so he was very difficult to hear as he went through the specials. I already knew what I wanted, but my husband did end up choosing the special of the night entree as well as the soup of the day. As we sat waiting on our food, we realized we didn't have any rolls, and I had an empty iced tea glass for a while. Finally he comes up to tend to the table behind us by giving the gentleman his check, and he walked by and looked at us and started to walk away. So I called him back over and asked him for a refill, also asked him about the dinner rolls. No apologies again whatsoever for forgetting to bring us the dinner rolls or for walking away with empty glass on the table. But he does say I'll get you some rolls if you want some... or something along those lines. While we were waiting, a lady brought us our meals. She was very friendly and our meals are correct. He eventually shows up with the dinner rolls as we are eating our entrees. I asked him for butter and he refuses to bring any. I've never had an issue getting butter before. The table next to us had a different waiter, and had no issue getting butter. Our waiter just didn't want to bring it! And he still had to go get my tea. But he did bring it back and asked if the food tasted okay. Proceed to the point to where we are now with one person done eating and the other person having just a little bit left, and still a a couple dinner rolls in the basket, because the butter didn't arrive, and the other rolls we ate did not taste good without it, he comes over to ask us if we want dessert. We of course tell him no and he says I'll bring you your check. Note that both of our glasses are completely empty. We wait to see if he's going to offer to refill them, and he does not! So as he proceeds to leave, we have to say we would like refills of our water and our iced tea. So twice failing to refill drinks without us demanding it, failing to bring us any rolls until we tell him we want them and after our food comes, and then refusing to bring his butter, is not my idea of a good waiter. If I was the one paying the bill his tip would have been cut in half. But because they bring out a machine and you do it sitting there in front of him, my husband didn't cut it that short, but he did cut them but I think 18% or whatever the smallest was on the machine. I usually Tip 25%, but this gentleman didn't deserve it. Now he didn't deserve zero because he did do some service okay, but management needs to work with him or just get rid of him. He does not know how to properly wait a table. Our bill for the two entrees typed above and the cup of soup, and an iced tea with $65 before tip. If you want somebody to come in and tip $15-$20 on this bill, then you need wait staff that can properly do their job. We were very pleasant with him, but I will refer to this review if we ever come back to this location again, and make sure we specifically request that we do not get his table.
