The food was was over priced for the quality. I just could have easily spent LESS for the same quality at hipster or goldfinch or black sheep. Our server got me the wrong wine, forgot our Brussels. No croutons on the salad.. I just feel like if prices are going to be that much then the service should be great and the food spectacular

Wait staff was horrible. It was like it was her first day. Had to send steak back that was overdone and brought to table while still eating salad. Manager stepped in to fix, but was very unprofessional in her vernacular with swearing. Did not feel appropriate to slam the cooks for being men and not being able to cook. Also was sat next to a very loud birthday party who where swearing and very disruptive to dining experience. Lights were very bright which destroyed atmosphere.

Solid Choice in Cedar Rapids. The food quality is good, however the menu is somewhat limited, but generally has something for most tastes. Ambience can be somewhat hit as miss. Despite the restaurant trying to push a more upscale vibe, this is a hotel restaurant so clientele can range from more formally-dressed concert/event goers to hotel guests in t-shirts and jeans. The layout is very open with a bar situated in the middle, meaning there is little-to-no sound damping in place. This can drastically vary the ambient noise level depending on the mix of clientele and how busy the bar is during your visit.

Not food allergy friendly, The waitress was a bit rude when we questioned her about an item on the menu and what that was in it. When she told us about that, one item consisted of we told her that I was allergic to it. She replied rudely. "Why don't you just order a salad." Which we ended up doing. Needless to say that we left hungry. $35 dollars for 2 small salds..Won't go there again.

Went for appetizers and some cocktails. Not a ton of options as far as starters but the cheese brûlée we decided on was delicious and we tried 4 of their specialty drinks that were tasty and got the job done. Our waitress was fun, attentive and kind. Would definitely go here again and try an entree! Perfect for date night and a beautiful view at night!

The menu was limited with a lot of burgers, but the cajun pasta and filet were very good. And they did manage to get the "rare" correct in doing the filet. Portions were "right sized" and nobody was having to take a go home box as we were on our way to Theater afterwards!

Mother's day brunch was a hit. There were many options to choose from including a waffle/omelets bar and prime rib carving station. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive and mom got a free mimosa. Food was delicious and the view was beautiful from the 16th floor. They even had a fun photo booth to mark this special day! 5 🌟 experience!

We had reservations at 5:45pm and seated about 5:35pm. Server brought us waters and had our dinners ordered by 5:45pm. Restaurant seemed busy and a little short staffed however, the restaurant should have prepared as there was a comedy show in the adjacent arena at 7pm so they should have expected a crowd. Our server told us around 6:11pm that she checked on our order and it should be up in a few minutes. She came by once more to give us the same answer and I even stopped her on another occasion to tell her we had tickets for a 7pm show. By 6:31pm, no food was served. We left $10 on the table as I had ordered a hot chocolate earlier in the evening and we left without saying a word to anyone. Very disappointed. My husband and I have never done this, EVER, however in this circumstance, we were extremely disappointed in the lack of communication from our server and lack of service overall.

They said they are short staffed. Waited an hour for our burger and salad. People all around of were canceling orders or switching to appetizers because the wait was so long. Our food was not warm when it came out. It tasted fine but this place needs a restructure in management and some organization skills. I watched a bartender walk around the entire restaurant twice to try and find the table that ordered the drink. Nobody knew what they were doing.

We have been here three times with the first time being absolutely amazing. Then, the 2nd time the food was not all that great. But we enjoyed it so much the first time that we wanted to try again so we made our reservation. But total disappointment. It took almost 30 minutes to get a drink, and when i ordered another one i had to cancel the order because after 30 minutes i still didn't receive it. The waitress only stopped by to take order and drop off bill. We had to flag her down any other time we needed her. After waiting about 45 minutes for our food we barely had time to eat before we had to go to our events downtown. We left more than half of our food on the table. The food wasn't even that good. Not sure what has happened to this place, but it is very disappointing. I doubt we will try it again.

I went to 350 on First with my wife to celebrate Valentine's Day. Using Open Table, the only available time was 5:15pm. Arriving on time, I was surprised to see many open tables. As we progressed through dinner, the restaurant did fill up a bit but there were still many open tables. I would have preferred a later time than my 5:15pm reservation so I have to wonder if the app wasn't set up properly. The service by our bartender was good. The food was average.

We arrived just before noon on Sunday Christmas Day and enjoyed their very tasty breakfast quesadilla. I especially liked the crispy thin shell. The waiter was very attentive, pleasant and took good care of us. The coffee served wasn’t quite as hot as my wife prefers, but the waiter quickly fixed the problem. The restaurant area is spacious, clean and of course the view is great. We enjoyed our time and would definitely return.

We went for the fact that it was on the rooftop of one of the tallest buildings in the area. We did not go for the food, which was lackluster. Highlights: -My sandwich, which was supposed to come with maple aioli, had barely a smattering of the stuff on it. It was really quite pathetic -My wife noted that the entire menu mentioned yukon gold potatoes. But the potatoes she actually got were red potatoes. She brought this to the attention of the manager on duty who then informed us that sometimes they run out and have to substitute whatever they have. This was the first we heard of this. There was a general attitude there of "we know this place is subpar and we don't give a damn".

We had a very nice meal with a beautiful view. It was also very convenient to just walk across the street to the theater to the performance we were attending. Several things on the menu looked enticing, we chose the chicken and waffles which was excellent! Very tasty meal and a crunchberry punch cocktail!

Outstanding 3 course Thanksgiving dinner! We had a group of 6 and could not speak more highly of our experience. The service was lovely, we had a beautiful table, and the food was incredible. This is one of Cedar Rapids best restaurants with beautiful views and hospitality that is second to none. It was truly a perfect Thanksgiving for our family. Looking forward to going back to try more of the regular menu items!
