Prior to the day of my reservation, I went on the website to make a reservation. It says if there is going to be more then 6 people, send an email to the restaurant. I did this. No one answered my email so I called and explained I was going to have 9 people, the lady told me to book online regardless of my party size. So at this point I had sent a special email directly to the restaurant (that went unanswered), called the restaurant, and booked online. My family of 9 showed up and we had this tiny couch that didnt accommodate my family, we had to pull up extra chairs. Then we were in an extremely sunny spot and asked to open the umbrella, which offered no shade and was cooking my family. We had a liquor and food menu at the couch seating area but no beer menu. I asked the waitress to see thr beer menu and that was a QR code... if you order a beer from there, it closes out your tab after the transaction.... less then convenient. For being a brewery, why cant I see a printed list of bee
