    This was my 3rd dining experience at Counter Culture. The reason for continuing my visits was simply that I had a gift card. The service team is not consistent and lukewarm. The attention to the customer is also inconsistent. The Team don’t really help each other…and I observed many opportunities for team members to open a door to help another Server or clear their table (at one point 4 people were simply standing around the stand at the entry). This never happened and we had several empty dishes sat in our table for quite a while. We enjoyed the oysters on a half shell from Massachusetts. We had ordered several dishes…but the oysters were the only really pleasing dish. I will not be returning anytime soon. It’s too bad…lots of potential.

    I had an amazing experience at Counter Culture, and a big part of that was thanks to our fantastic server, Caleb. From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect.

    Love this place! We go for bunch a few times a month and it’s always great and consistent. Caleb has served us serval times and even when he’s not our server he takes the time to come over and say hi. Our son james loves him. Best sausage I’ve ever had, the burrata egg white omelet is outstanding and they have awesome craft cocktails. Our favorite spot for brunch.

    The food is amazing. The indoor seating is very loud. The outside seating is lovely but the whole dinner we were being blinded by the headlights of cars pulling into the parking lot.

    We were a group of 6, 3 couples. We had to walk out because the chef refused to adjust and fulfill a dietary restriction. We stayed and honored the price of our 1st round of drinks and pad the sever properly. A manager never came over and it was very awkward as I was with VIP clients. It really was one of the worst experiences I have ever had with a restaurant claiming to be higher end. Terrible.
