    Chicken boomers appetizer was super salty and pretty flavorless. The short ribs were amazing, however, highly recommend! Loved it! Gerard was wonderful. Great server and had a lot of recommendations. 5 stars to him for sure!

    Service was unbelievably slow. Our server was forgetful and not attentive at all. It was 1:05pm when we arrived, it wasn’t very busy and it took until after 2:20 pm to get our food. We were one of the only people left in the restaurant. Kitchen was shutting down.

    This is what restaurants should strive to be like. The restaurant itself is beautiful and everyone working is very hospitable. Our server was always checking in and other staff would come make sure we had drinks . The food flavor profiles were all so delicious. The short rib was so so good. We came for my friend's 40th birthday and they were so lovely about it- they gave us a welcome drink and a bonus appetizer and cookies to celebrate. It made her feel very special. I recently went to a restaurant for my own 40th birthday and they didn't even acknowledge that it was my birthday. We will definitely be back!

    The food is good, not amazing. The decor is wonderful so the experience of being there makes up for it somewhat. We ate breakfast there, had the egg soufflé sandwich and bacon and eggs which were good. Coffee was just okay.

    I love the Apparatus Room. The atmosphere is great. The food was delicious. I’m my only complaints are they automatically included 20% gratuity on my bill when it was just my wife and me and all we had were drinks. That should not happen. The other one was two glasses of house wine and two old fashions shouldn’t cost $122.

    While our Waiter was awesome, we were not impressed by the place, I was seated in a chair that was way to low for the high table, so not really comfortable, the bread that was served was still cold on the inside, and my carrots where under cooked.
