"Our table was waiting for us when our party of 8 finally gathered. The staff was very accommodating and patient, and the service throughout our brunch was very attentive. Food was a good value, and was well-prepared and tasty. With the appealing wide variety on the menu, each of the eight ordered something different. Everyone was satisfied. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and never felt rushed."

"There were three in our party and we ALL liked our main courses. We also had two appetizers that were outstanding -- the crab cakes and the grilled vegetables. Also liked the fact that you could design your own wine flight. Will return!"

"We enjoyed everything about Broadway Cellars, except for the hostess. I used the Open Table app and to find a restaurant, made a reservation for 15 minutes in advance, and we drove to the restaurant. I thought it was great to find something close by at the last minute! When we arrived and I checked in, mentioning our reservation, the hostess said "Oh, you made the reservation from your CAR. We'll get to you when we can." Her attitude just made us feel like we were not appreciated since we made a last minute reservation, despite the fact that we would NOT have gone there if we hadn't found availability. It just really rubbed us the wrong way, she was still snide even as she seated us. The rest of the service we received was great!"

"We were very disappointed. The duck ravioli was in a sauce that was way to thick and overpowered the duck. The mushroom risotto was made with Elmer's glue; it was very paste like rather than creamy."

"This is a neighborhood burger joint that tries to dress up, with inconsistent results. The bartenders are good, but the waitstaff are untrained. On a recent visit, ten minutes passed before the waiter came by the table. I had been trying to order a cocktail the whole time. He dropped a menu without even getting a drink order then, so when he finally came back, I skipped the cocktail, ordered dinner and sent for a glass of wine.
I had steamed mussels. They were small and not very flavorful, though the broth was reasonable. Had the garlic toasts on top not been totally charred - black on both sides... I left them uneaten, prominently displayed and they sat there throughout the meal. Chicken Caesar salad small; Nicoise salad unmemorable."
