"The staff was nice and accomodated us with our 19 month old. The music was also really great. The food was just not that good. I ordered a vegetarian omlet which was so salty that I couldn't finish it. My husband ordered chicken and waffles and the waffles were over cooked as well. The sweet potato fries were also dry. So all in all, great ambiance but just not a great brunch. Sorry!"

"We sat in the restruant (that had about 7 servers, and a busboys, and at the time only 5 tables with customers) for almost 15 minutes with water from the busboy. No server approched us, eventhough we were seated right nect to the bar and a server station. After 15 minutes my husban called one of the servers over to tell them we were ready to order. She said she would get our server. Another 5 minutes before she came over. We had reservations, the place was not busy at that time, yet almost 20 minutes before we even had coffee ordered. Food wasn't hot, wich makes me think it sat around in the back for awhile before it was delivered. Overall very disapointing."

"Unfortunately we were unable to stay for the musical portion of the evening but found that the staff (especially Kendra our waitress) were all friendly and helpful. Ace, the bartender, made me an excellent Cosmo. Very nice intimate neighborhood ambiance.
My short rib was a little on the dry side but the side dishes were excellent as were the crab cake appetizers. My husband's rack of lamb came well-done instead of medium as requested and was a little short of flavor."

"The food, service and atmosphere were all outstanding. The staff were friendly and efficient, attentive but not intrusive. We found the appetizers and entrees to be of very high quality. The music was very good as well, all in all a very special evening. Although the establishment is not large, the intimate atmosphere enhances the experience. We will definitely be returning soon."

"I liked this restaurant a lot. The music was lively and upbeat and the food was delicious. The ambiance had a feel of coziness and a little romance. Although initial service was slow, servers were friendly and helpful. Overall, the experience was very nice."
