    Great place. Always love the food. This tune however we were not as impressed with the menu. The Lux Burger amazing as always but the other entrees of the sirloin special, & loco moco not as yummy. Biggest thing the loco moco is 2 beef patties on rice and menu doesn’t reflect that.

    Great neighborhood restaurant in Uptown! Lively, but quiet enough for a good conversation. Our food was fantastic, but the service was a little slow, especially in the beginning with drink orders.

    Our second time here but our first for brunch. A previous dinner was excellent. Brunch offerings were numerous and varied, as well as creative, though I wish there were more breakfast options for non-egg eaters. Waffles were about it. There were four of us this too, versus just the two of us the first time around. Their first time here. Everyone liked their food as far as taste was concerned, and aside from the chicken and waffles for $13 being just two wedges (half of a round waffle) and a single chicken breast, we were quite satisfied. Two diners had a spicy bowl concoction of some sort and while they both thought it was really tasty, both felt quite definitively that it was too spicy. This coming from two people who love spicy food, so for what it's worth, watch out! Definitely a nice restaurant with unique food and a good vibe. We will be back.

    Food was good and we thought it was a good value. Liked that we could have a booth so we could hear each other talk which doesn't happen in a lot of restaurants on a Saturday night. Waitress totally missed that I booked the reservation to celebrate my husband's birthday. She never mentioned nor did anything to help us celebrate. Is that her fault or mine? Either way, we would return.
