    Really delicious food, and excellent service. We enjoyed the non alcoholic cocktail too - “Girl Next Door” best mocktail we have ever had. Make sure you save room for dessert

    Crab gnocchi and rabbit tagliatelle were both reasonably priced and delicious. The asparagus on whipped feta with olives was absolutely amazing! Full of flavor and punch. Dishes were visually appealing, the bibb salad with strawberries and yogurt dressing was very shareable. Great wine and drink selection. Consistently excellent food and service. Highly recommend this restaurant.
    Lockbox at 21c HotelResponded 7 days ago
    Hi Regina, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the crab gnocchi, rabbit tagliatelle, and especially the asparagus with whipped feta—it's one of our team’s favorites, too. We're also glad the bibb salad hit the mark and that our wine and cocktail offerings added to your experience. Consistency and creativity are at the heart of what we do at Lockbox, so it means a lot to hear that reflected in your visit. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Sincerely, Lockbox

    Overcooked $50.00 steak. I'd return for drinks and apps but wouldn't eat dinner here again.
    Lockbox at 21c HotelResponded 7 days ago
    Hi Stephen, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about your experience at Lockbox. I regret to read that we didn't meet your expectations. We always strive to provide our guests with the best locally sourced food and service, and I regret that we missed the mark with your steak. We always encourage guests to speak up early when their meal is not satisfactory so we have an opportunity to correct the error before the guests conclude their meal. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance to right our wrongs and welcome you back into our space. Best regards, Brian Walters Director of Food & Beverage

    It was a beautiful evening to have nice drinks and a wonderful meal. I would recommend the hamburger. Yes a nice restaurant and get the hamburger and fries but it is the best.
    Lockbox at 21c HotelResponded 7 days ago
    Hello Arlin! Such kind words and generous compliments, we thank you! Our Lockbox Cheeseburger has been around since Day 1, and we haven't changed a thing--for good reason! While our burger is very delicious, our Summer menu is now in full swing and has some fantastic offerings available. We hope you'll get an opportunity to swing back by and enjoy another great dining experience with us and the freshness of our farmers' summer offerings (try the Tagliatelle!). Sincerely, Lockbox

    Hi Neal! Thank you for the compliments and the recommendation! We also love our fries and Chicken Sandwich! We think we have all the other chicken sandwiches beat, but we may be a bit biased. We look forward to welcoming you back to your next Lockbox meal! Sincerely, Lockbox
