The service was excellent and the food was great and reasonably priced recommend them

It is our halfway point between our kids and our house

My issue wasn 't so much with the food, but more toward the management. Firstly, after we were seated, we were asked about a drink. We decided to get s drink off their cocktail specials menu. They came, and the drink was fine. We ordered food. When it came out, we were asked about another drink. Decided to get another since they were good. The server bought out two more drinks. Only this time they were in much smaller glasses(less than half the size of the original). The server actually said here 's two more drinks, in smaller glasses , and quickly left. Not even asking how the meal was. We thought that was odd, and wondered why she said that, and why they were smaller. Now picture this. We were seated in the back,and there was one other small group of people seated directly across from us. I literally could have reached out and touched them. Now during the course of the meal, the server continually would come back and check on the other patrons, not even glancing over at us. Eventually she must have noticed we were apparently done. Asked us if we would like dessert. We graciously declined, and proceeded to question about why the second drink was smaller than the first. She didn 't know, and asked if we 'd like to speak to the manager. We accepted. When he came over, he already had his reasoning for the difference in size. It was because the first drinks were served in the wrong sized glass. So we actually got more for our money because of this. Making it seem like we got over on them. I simply tried to explain to him, if he could see it from our point of view that we felt we got short changed. We expected to get the exact same size drink. Keeping in mind, no one said anything to us about what size the drink should have been initially. We were just under the assumption that this was the actual drink. Had someone mentioned when we decided to order another round, that the glass size would be smaller because the original drink was poured into the wrong size glass, we would have understood. And could have simply said no, thank you or ok, that 's fine . So not being aware of any of this, we just thought they were trying to short change us. I never once mentioned that I wasn 't going to pay for meal,or that I deserved a reduction in the price. I was just trying to get him to understand how if we had been told this a long time ago , things would have been completely different. But because they decided not to mention any of this the whole time we were there, we could only assume they were trying to take advantage of us. He didn 't want to hear it. All he could say over and over again, was about how we got more than we paid for. And must have assumed we were trying to get a free meal. He was definitely getting mad, and finally said fine, what do you want? Not pay for the drinks? And just stormed off before we could say anything. We felt if anything, paying for one and a half drinks each would have been more than accepting to us. Again, I wasn 't implying at all that I desired a free meal. He came back and gave us a bill with no drinks on it, and didn 't say a word. The whole time we 're thinking, why is he mad at us? He should be mad at his staff for not notifying us about something they obviously knew ahead of time. Or be mad at your bartender for serving drinks in the wrong size glasses. At one point the server told us, we got those size glasses originally because there were no more of the regular size glasses clean at the time. I was like really, you didn 't have any more of the normal size glasses! Even if it was true, why didn 't you say something when you brought them out. I look at it as, hey,that 's on you! You messed up, you have to fix it. I know it may sound like a trivial matter, but because of that, I won 't go back. In your reply to my review, you just proved my point about you. Very impatient and don 't want to hear anything. You say you could give me a different glass everytime if yo
