"Well my roommate got double charged for her drinks...she and two others had bills for 25 bucks each and they each tipped 5 bucks so her total should have been thirty but her bank account says they charged it 60...she's calling them tomorrow about it. BTW she only had two drinks and they were 25 bucks but i will say that the drinks she ordered (pear martini) and the other drinks were absolutely delicious and gave a nice buzz. Our server was slow and I can say that judiciously bc I used to serve in a bar. This guy had a 10 person table and he barely paid attention to us...drinks were long gone and we had to get his attention to get another one (for the most part)."

"I came with a group on Easter Sunday for brunch hoping to avoid the crowds and noise of the more popular brunch escapes. Outdoor seating was full and most of the inside tables were too. Although not noted on their website or when I made a reservation inside tables were expected to use the buffet which I wasnt averse to, it just would have been nice to know in advance. The items were a mix of less than IHOP quality french toast and sausage and Harris Teeter quality brunch items like salmon on toast points and fruit. The wait staff and MOD were very attentive but had their knees cut out from under them with the food.

I would go back but only for after dinner drinks."

"Food was excellent. Everything was prepared perfectly and almost everything was delicious. Of everything we ate only one entree left a little to be desired. The cocktails were delicious as well. The atmosphere was very fun and upscale and the service was exceptional, including the owners stopping by to check on us."

"Good food, I had lamb shank which was quite tasty but it was served on a bed of puréed Fava beans which was not a good combination. Our server was very good and attentive. My only complaint was the noise leve was too high to have a conversation without shouting."

"I've been there many times on dates and with and friends. This time I brought out of town guests with their children. The experience was as pleasant as always. It was a Sunday evening and we were eating early for the sake of the children, so the restaurant was not crowded or noisy - it's a livelier scene on other nights of the week. For our purposes this was perfect, but I love being there on other nights as well, when the scene is lively. The staff were very attentive and they were able to recommend choices for the kids (the younger ones had sliders (minus the fancy condiments) and sweet potato fries). The adults enjoyed the creative, flavorful appetizer menu and shared everything, tapas-style."

"There was a very loud function going on upstairs, a "date auction" for charity. It was kind of annoying but the staff was extremely apologetic and as the men and women up for sale walked by on the mezzanine, they were unaware that there was a HUGE wall length mirror that we could watch them go by in. Several of the women did silly dances and had no idea we could see right up their skirts. LOL...so that made for some funny entertainment. That said, the food was excellent as were the drinks. The mac & cheese that we started with was Out Of This World! I had the lamb chops which were amazing! Totally would go back and would recommend!"

"I went there with a group to celebrate a birthday. We had a reservation. We tried out and dismissed 4 different tables for different reasons and number 5th was the best. They were very nice about the whole process. Our waiter was super friendly and nice. He did get some details about the dishes wrong , e.g. he said the salmon was wild (dark sockeye) but it was actually farm raised (light pink). But his charisma and energy more than made up for it. When we mentioned it was a bday celebration, he brought the one dessert we ordered to share, with happy birthday written on the plate with chocolate sauce and a candle - very sweet. Food was pretty good, but not perfect - e.g. my pasta was overdone. Good drinks and wine - we had a blast:)"
