            My personal first time with the new menu. Quite different. I had the pickerel which was excellent. A lovely piece of fish perfectly cooked. Very peppery but I enjoyed every tasty bite. It was served in a warm chickpea salad with asparagus and that was delicious. Highly recommend

            I reserved dinner for two on Sunday evening, with a note that it was a birthday celebration. Given the lack of customers on a Sunday night, the service was surprisingly slow - took over an hour for our Mains from the time we sat down to the time we received them. Nothing was said about the birthday, so noting it on OpenTable was... just because, I suppose? I don't expect anything free, but some acknowledgement from staff would have been appreciated.

            Had a lovely Sunday Brunch at Hot House. Great service, a relaxing environment and what a nice treat to have live jazz while sipping your mimosa. Great destination for brunch!

            Amazing service and lovely location. The 2 mimosas for $12 is a great value and so tasty as so many varieties of mimosas to have.

            We enjoyed our experience. We did miss the omelette station as only scrambled eggs were available which were not very good. But would definitely go back. The placement of the dessert station is much better than when we were there previously.

            Very disappointing. Overpriced and bad service. Our party arrived on time for our reservation Prompt water service and then went downhill from there. Although we we not quite ready to order right when we were all seated our waiter never returned. Well over a half hour later we had to ask for our server Lemon ordered for our water arrived just before our food; which seemed also to take a good length of time. 3 of us ordered the smash burger. We all agreed it was not enjoyable. Dry, dense and TASTELESSfor a medium it was overcooked. The cheese was melted so much than it was hardly visible. This was an additional cost of $4.00!!! Burger looked to be about 4oz Sad
