Garrett served promptly and efficiently timing yhe 3 courses perfectly. The queensfest portions were as per the regular menu, NO skimping here! The shrimp cocktail served 6 nice 16-20 size shrimp with nice roulade and tartar sauces. The lamb shank was substantial, with a nice mash and gravy, asparagus side. Sarah, the service mgr promptly addressed a table request to everyones satisfaction. Finished with oreo cookie dessert and fresh hot black coffee. I'd heard you have to try Alton's, glad we did. You will be glad you do as well!

Our server was beyond bad. She did not have any care or concern about making our evening a success. For us, success would be to have our food delivered within an hour, a server without an attitude and good food. By the time we received our food it was really too late to enjoy it so I really do not know if the food was good. However, the appetizers of crab cakes were just okay, with minimal crab which was too fried. Yes, we received our appetizer on time, but the rest of the meal was beyond tardy. The manager was finally called over to our table, and was quite apologetic, but a little to late. The evening was ruined. By the way, there are great views. I hope you have a better time than we had.

We went from eating here 3 times a month to just not eating here as the food and service went downhill and the prices went up. We reluctantly tried Brick House Tavern again this weekend as the restaurant we wanted to try wasnât open. We are glad we did. The food was dramatically improved and service was better. Not all went perfect as they forgot to put an egg on my spinach salad. I had steak put on my salad and it was cooked to perfection. We used to like getting the chicken wings, but they cost way too much for an appetizer. They used to be a lot cheaper. We will try coming here again and hope to find things to our liking.

Mac's is very casual, with either outdoor or indoor seating. We were with a large group, but the staff did its best to keep up. I'd have to say the food is a step above your typical bar food; the food at Mac's is very tasty and nicely presented. Prices weren't too bad, either.

While waiting to pick our daughter up from camp at the beautiful Davidson campus, we stopped to have breakfast at the Famous Toastery. We loved it!! They have outdoor seating in the back and front. Either would be a great option on a nice day. The back is shady, but the front allows for some great people and dog watching. Lots of people strolling with their dogs on this main downtown strip for Davidson. Had incredible gluten free toast. The service was excellent! We will definitely eat at the Famous Toastery again when we are in Davidson!
