The prices are higher than some places but seemed fair for what we got. Service was great too. We will return!“

“First time there. Drove from Norwalk for a family celebration and it was worth the drive. I had the District 36 salmon, which was unique. Excellent flavor, not overcooked & can't wait to go back. My wife had the chicken parm and was also pleased. Others in the party were very pleased with their selections. I opted for the seafood bisque which also excellent, even though I wished the bowl was bigger. The service was excellent & plentiful. One main waitress had several helpers to bring the food to the table which was well timed. The room was spacious and tables were spaced apart which was appreciated as there was birthday party with kids nearby. They were enjoying each other a lot. We will be going back again.“

“I dined at Trostel's Greenbriar to attend a seminar on February 28, 2024. We all were served the same items. The large mixed greens salad with their homemade buttermilk ranch dressing with tasty bread was a wonderful start. Then came a center cut New York Strip steak, a whopping 16 oz (!), and a hefty sized perfectly baked potato with butter and sour cream. I asked for a very, very, very, very rare steak and that's exactly what I got! I was in Heaven!! For dessert, we were served an oversized wedge of cheesecake, which was 3-1/2" - 4" high, with ample strawberries and sauce. It was to die for!Our servers, Cheyenne and Meredith, were very efficient, attentive and friendly during my whole time there. I commend them wholeheartedly!! I would definitely like to try more menu items at this establishment!I usually take pictures of my dishes when I dine. However, I simply forgot this time until I got my dessert.“

“Couldn't have asked for better service considering I showed up 20 min before they closed, which might I add they closed at 9:30 on a Saturday & will discuss below. Food was delicious and hot no complaints with quantity or quality chips and salsa included. The corn shells were so fresh & warm I could have eaten the shells alone for my dinner. The seven seas soup was superb even though it contained only quarter size piece of fish. here are the few reasons I feel the need for 3 stars. First closing hrs are 9:30pm on a Sat.? Why so early?Secondly, the parking lot feels unsafe as it seems there's a lot going on with all the businesses & traffic on the property. So not family friendly in the evenings.Lastly, Environment inside was very noisy and rather busy. So not a place to wind down & have a drink at least not 20 min. before closing time (I can only base off the time I spent at the est.)The food was so good I will def. return & recommend.“
