   Fantastic food and fantastic service! Ordinary never disappoints. Thank you to the patient and professional service person who took good care of us while I talked my 93-year-old mother through navigating the Internet! :)

   Went here for happy hour before dinner. Early booking enabled the three of us to enjoy a booth at the back which was fun. Really friendly waiter and fun vibes!

   Love this place. Very dark with so much character. Feels like a speakeasy. Great mixology as well. Never disappoints for an amazing cocktail

   This place is a gem. When I first looked at the menu I was skeptical, but the food was amazing, our waitress was excellent and the drinks were so good. If I had to critique anything it would be that the sign out front should be a bit more eye catching and the seating could be more comfortable. Well done!

   Truly great ambience. Best single malt scotch of my life. Noisy. Service was only adequate. Definitely worth a visit.

   So, like usual, we usually come here pretty late into the evening. I booked a rather late reservation again, not expecting the place to accept another one for an hour before closing; but 30 minutes prior to 10pm, the waitress kindly told my group there was another reservation for 10pm coming in. Disappointed that we had to wrap things up and leave, I was bewildered they’d do just what I was hoping wouldn’t happen, but it is what it is. My group had an overall good time and Ordinary is still on my top ten favorites. I’ll be back again for sure.

   Cool quirky place! Wasn’t sure about bar seating offered by manager but later realized that only reserved diners were allowed in, which kept us from being crowded out at bar. Bartender was knowledgeable and accommodating.

    The Ordinary really tries to make their drinks weird and experimental. I ordered the Four Legs Layered from their experimental cocktail list, which had literally four separate layers of liquid. The top layers tasted bad, but the bottom layers were good. I also ordered an old fashioned, but it was the worst old fashioned I've ever tasted. Definitely worth checking out this place at least once to see the unique interior, but nothing special.
