"I think ordinarily it would be great for outdoor dining however, there is currently construction across the street with a very loud generator running."

"Thinking that this place would be lively, we went here for a late Sunday Brunch. It was completely dead. We were seated immediately; no need for a reservation. Unfortunately, we waited at least five full minutes before anyone even came by. Just when we were about to walk out, a server stopped by to say she would be with us in a moment. Regretfully, we stayed.
The food was good, but not great. The server didn't know the menu at all. Also, we ordered $7 mimosas only to find out later that they were only $1. It was a pleasant surprise, but had they promoted it a little better (or even told us about it at the table), we would have stayed much longer and had many more.
I'd go back for drinks and bar food, but probably won't dine here again."

"My son and I went and there were three seating choices -- outdoor, dining room and bar area. As the Final Four was on, we chose the bar area and it was great. While the outdoor seating was much louder, the bar seating area was like a lodge or clubhouse decor and was perfect for the evening. The food was very good -- there are many choices if your party cannot agree on one type of meal before going out. Service was fast and friendly. We had a very nice outing."

"I know that the type of clientele can't be helped but nevertheless a good restaurant should always be well prepared. The place was packed with weekend partying 20 somethings and even with our reservation, we had to wait 10 minutes or so because there were no menus to be found. The Salads and Lobster Mac & Cheese came out promptly and both were excellent. The Manhattan had too much Vermouth and was not drinkable. The Kitchen got so overwhelmed with "Wings and Burger" orders that somehow our Entree orders were lost and we ended up canceling them after an hour. The Manager was very gracious and comped our bill. We were told that Sun-Thurs Dinners are much more subdued...so we will definitely go back...but only during the work week."

"We went for lunch prior to going to see Annie. The food was fantastic and the service was very good. We liked it so much we went back after the show for dessert. Thanks to our Waitress Michelle, she was great"

"The bar was hoping at 7 pm on a Friday night, but I sat in the quiet dining room. We were the only party in that room for a while, then other parties came too. It was a good atmosphere to chat. The servers seemed overly attentive, at first and then when we wanted them to take our order, it took a while for them to come back. The food was really great and the list of beer on tap looked great too, however, draft beer was not available the night we went as the CO2 line was warm. I expected to get some sort of discount or an offer for a free beverage if I came back another time. I did get the bar manager's card and he apologized, which was a nice gesture. I know that this location is new, so I will definitely go back and give it another try."
