    Very disappointed. We have been to Narrative several times and always enjoyed it. We brought out of town guests for brunch and had a frustrating experience. There were a couple of large tables and we are always understanding of that but the service was incredibly slow and inattentive. Our second server seemed to understand how we were being neglected and offered to comp us an order of mini donuts for the table. Very nice. 2 of 4 of our orders were wrong (as in ham in a “no ham” omelette) and took forever to correct. When the check finally came, we were charged for the donuts. We were so over it we just paid it and left. Not sure if/when we’ll go back. There was even a dog in the dining room (very obviously not a service animal) getting more service than us. Really disappointing….

    We went to Nerrative for Thanksgiving dinner. From the moment we entered the atmosphere seemed very nice and upscale. Host was very friendly and seated us promptly ( we had a reservation).Overall staff was very nice. Their options for Thanksgiving dinner did not impress us, for $75 you could choose: soup or salad,main course and dessert. So,we chose from regular menu: artichoke crockets wer great 👍,Bread service - dinner rolls were delicious. Tuna tar-tar was ok. Halibut with hashbroun crust was underseasoned and hashbrouns were nor crispy at all( pale white).I got crab cake with arugula salad - and my dish was way too salty and crab cake reminded me of the puck. Oreo ice cream was good, and a nice size portion. Coffee was very good. We did like that they had options for NA beer and wine too.

    We appreciate that the restaurant is open on Thanksgiving and that they offer a prefixed Thanksgiving menu but that one can also order from the usual menu. The staff were kind and attentive, and the food was delicious.

    Happy hour is advertised on their website but we were told it was “going away” and it was not honored.

    My girlfriend got the bolognese which was pretty good, I ordered the steak and was pretty disappointed. Super salty and tons of fat so it was really chewy. Cocktails were excellent though! Would recommend going for cocktails and an appetizer.
