The food is good but nothing to write home about. Was very disappointed in the espresso martini. They advertise it as part of the happy hour but unfortunately they make it poorly (no foam and no bean on top).

Went here for a team lunch. Only one bartender serving the whole restaurant, so it’s understandable that service was going to be slow. But then someone who I think is a manager shows up to help, and he sort of idly does, and also spends huge amounts of time standing around (I watched him bus a table in a 2/3 empty restaurant instead of checking on tables first). Also, other tables who got there after us were helped before us, including a huge table, so it was an hour before our order was taken and another hour before we got our food. One of our teammates got her food a good ten minutes after the rest of us - they gave her a discount, that’s it. My burger - I ordered medium rare - came out barely pink. Everyone else said “well I’m hungry, so…” to describe how their food tasted. So - what was to be a celebration turned into a disaster of a time suck. We didn’t even get to have the “post lunch discussion” we were meant to have, we just left.

We sat there for a long time and finally got up to get the server's attention so we could order a bottle of wine. Never made it to the food because the service was so slow that we decided to pay and leave. The place wasn't full at all so no excuse for the wait. Went to another restaurant close by that was extremely full and got great service. Won't be going back.

Very nice brunch, but (our reservations were 1230 PM on a Sunday) I wish I could have ordered from the lunch menu. There website did not specify hours for brunch only service.

Pretty nice brunch spot, my food was just ok. I ordered THE STANDARD and the potatoes were much to be desired. They were a little hard and didn’t have a lot of flavor and wasn’t very hot like the rest of my plate. I would return for dinner and happy hour, I like that menu better

Other than not being able to offer a gluten free menu or ANY suggestions, our group had a good time and enjoyed our meals.
