Wow, what a great experience! We went to Tanner Jacks on a really busy night. The restaurant is a bit small, but the friendly host/hostess (there were two people at the door) told us the wait would only be around 15 minutes and we were welcome to get started on drinks in the bar. We were a little skeptical, but... more

Wow, what a pleasant experiance. Start out with the freindliest hostess greeting you as you enter (sometimes its the owners wife) to the warmest nicest and fastest bartenders in town.
