The restaurant was great and the Sunday brunch was delicious! It filled up very quickly after 11:00 so I was glad to have a reservation. It also gets quite noisy in the front restaurant as large groups fill in. I enjoyed the variety of mimosa options and the Salmon Benedict was a must have dish.

We made reservations for a birthday for the back porch outdoor seating which was really charming. We loved! the atmosphere. Umbrellas, a lot of breeze and a big fan on the corner kept us cool, we loved being outside...it felt very Europe. The whitefish salad was excellent, as was the swordfish entry, and the fish sandwich. The Cab was very very good, with a generous poor, that did not go un appreciated. Overall, an excellent, and we would come back. Attached wineshop is one of the best in the area, we got some ciders.

The burger and chicken sandwich were good, the wine/beer list is top notch, and the ambiance is great. Staff was friendly. We’re out of fries which were part of my top three choices. One man’s opinion but tater tots or a tiny romaine Caesar aren’t quite substitutes. And with the new payment system, I didn’t get to see my total and was just expected to hand over my card. Im sure they’ll figure it out.

Food was fine, but we were disappointed to see the menu had changed. The chai spiced brioche French toast with lemon drizzle was gone - slices were a lot thinner and not as good, and some of the staples - like the two eggs meal and breakfast sandwich - were missing. Unfortunately, these items made up our usual order. Took my parents when they came to visit, and we were so excited for them to try our favorite brunch spot. We ended up with three corned beef hash, and it was very oily and not great. We used to be regulars - ordering brunch for takeout/delivery on the weekends, but with these changes on the items we used to order (and LOVE), I think we may be looking elsewhere now.

The prior weekend my husband and I were in this area for dinner and wanted to try this place but they were all booked. That was a bummer but I totally understood so I said we would come back for my birthday and I’d make a reservation for that cool back area with the cabanas. Made a reservation for the cabana and stated that it was for my birthday. Upon arriving, we checked in and the hostess told us that we made the reservation for indoor, not at the cabana but she could still seat us outside. She sat us down at a table in the middle of everything and when I asked to change tables she said that we could only sit at the non-cabana area. After sitting for a few minutes I decided to double check the reservation. I was right and I made it for the cabana so we showed a different person and she took us there. Made me feel stupid, embarrassed for wanting to move so much and really not special as I stated that I specifically came to celebrate. Our waitress was very sweet but barely came to check in on us. We were so confused how to order our entrees but since we hadn’t seen her in what must have been 30 minutes (or longer) we decided to just order off the QR code. About 10 minutes after we did that she checked in and told us that we were supposed to have ordered with her. So that was confusing and then getting our checks to leave was confusing as well since we ordered apps/drinks with her and then entrees on the QR code. Wish she would have explained up front. Our reservation was at 7 and we did not leave until 9:30, which is absolutely insane to me. Only 1 person asked us how our our evening was and it was the guy cleaning up our plates. He said he’d have the manager come talk to us but they never came by so we left. It was truly a disappointing experience considering how excited I was to try this place. I would not come back. Food was good though.

The dining room is very appealing. It was lovely to sit in the window and see the passers by on the sidewalk. The appetizer was a whitefish salad with crackers - small portion, tasty enough. The Caesar salad romaine was wilted (I wanted to tell chef that all it needed was a quick soak in ice water). We had 3 small plates. Asparagus were a bit overcooked and quite small for this seasonal vegetable. Best overall was the crispy rib - meaty and perfectly seasoned - delicious. Burr at a was served with crackers as well. Bread would have been a nice addition to the meal.

Servers are very kind but not super attentive. Remote ordering system is easy but confusing with servers and makes it difficult to ask about menu options, etc. But a very pleasant atmosphere and friendly, gracious people. Good apps, salads. Would be fun to offer tots with cheese, bacon, green onions or other toppings. Great neighborhood vibe, and tons of outdoor seating options with different views/setups.

We sat for over 30 min at the Front Porch by Evening Star before going up to hostess and figuring out we needed to order food and drink through a QR code. We sat for another 20 minutes to get the wine we ordered. Food was good but not hot. Great ambiance but service needs great attention.

All the ordering is done by phone so there is little interaction with the waiters. You have to sign up with a 3rd party vendor in order to use the menu and order. If you need anything else, it can be hard to get anyone’s attention (at one point, we had to go and track someone down which was tricky). The food was good but not for the price (if each dish were $10 or so cheaper, I would say the value is closer to what we received). The atmosphere was quiet and there was plenty of space between tables.

Food and service were great. Limited brunch menu, but that was what we were looking for on Mothers Day. It was too cold to sit outside and I was worried that it would be noisy and crowded but that was not the case. Classics on the menu were terrific, and host was very nice as well. Phone calls got a little incessant, why did I need to verify my reservation four times in four days, including one hour prior to the actual time?

Great neighborhood restaurant- think it still needs some attention- the poached eggs were pre- made which is fine but they should be hot- the potatoes were meh- no love in them. My mates enjoyed the breakfast burger. Service was nice but at brunch someone should be walking around filling up coffee! We always come back and will again- just give it a little love
