    So hard to write a poor review, as they tried. I think it was just poorly managed. The hostess and other guy should have helped out, but did not. Not sure what was going on in the back. Hard to write a review when you can’t even get served. We had reservations. Waitress seems really overwhelmed when we sat down a Dan said we really weren’t in a huge hurry. But that didn’t help matters. Needed water, never got that. Would go into the whole night, but basically never got served and the only thing we did get, the charcuterie board, was as if they ran to the closest convenience store and put some cheese and meats on it with some grapes.

    Came here to celebrate my sons 17th birthday. The vibe passed, aesthetically. The restaurant was dark with nice ambient lighting. With halo lights hanging from the ceiling that gave a nice effect in photos. Our waitress was nice but really nothing to write home about. She seemed busy majority of the time even with the restaurant appearing to be less than 1/2 full and other staff available. The menu had a lot of options that all sounded delicious. We started with the fried mozzarella that was set in a rosa creamy, vodka sauce. The flavor was there but the sauce was a little cold and for $17, it would’ve been nice for us 3 to have been able to get more than 4 tiny triangles of cheese to share, but this seemed like one of the places where things are overpriced but it’s a birthday dinner so we signed up for that. My man ordered the blackened salmon pasta for his entree, my son chose the kung pao shrimp, and I opted for the roasted lamb with risotto. My sons shrimp dinner had about 8 pieces of medium/large shrimp and he said it was good. He ate it all within about 5 minutes and I was left asking him if he was still hungry. He was, but not famished. My partner, was picking around his salmon, not really wow’d by the flavor but I suggested to him to pour in the sauce left over from the fried cheese to make it a little more jazzy. He took my suggestion and really enjoyed it after that. He had a hefty piece of salmon atop his pasta that filled him up. My lamb dinner looked underwhelming on presentation because the protein were 2 of the smallest lamb pops I’ve seen. I’d guess there were probably about 4-5 oz of protein between the 2. But I cut off a little taste for each of the guys to get their opinion and we all agree that my dish had the best flavor. There was a mountain of risotto, cooked to perfection, topped with this beautifully rich , creamy, mushrooms sauce. It was DELICIOUS! I so wished there would’ve been more lamb to accompany my carbs …. Full review on yelp lol

    I can’t say enough great things about this place! The food, the atmosphere, cleanliness, music and service.. anll exceeded my expectations. We were there for hours without realizing. The manager Cindy was so warm and kind. She made me feel right at home with her smile and conversation and she went above and beyond to ensure our every need was met. The servers were great! Laura was a joy and the person clearing tables went above and beyond too! Hard workers and WONDERFUL music from Rory Ellis. We will be back.

    The food was amazing! The service was TERRIBLE. It took forever to get our drinks. The server didn’t bring them all at the same time. Our water glasses were empty most of the time and we were told they didn’t have anymore glasses. I mean, what kind of restaurant runs out of glasses? It wasn’t even that busy.

    This. Was totally different experience from my first visit and not one I wish to repeat. The menu has breakfast potatoes listed and we were served French fries, which were clearly from a freezer bag. The entertainment was so loud we were practically screaming to be heard. Overall I was disappointed and will be looking for another brunch location.

    Had a few issues with food and service. Out of the brisket and brûlée we mainly went there for. My shrimp in my shrimp cocktail were so hard that when I couldn’t bite into it, I used a fork and knife and they were ultimately so hard that I couldn’t get through the last two. So a waste of money but we didn’t complain. Also I’d like to point out we weren’t told they were out of the two items until we ordered it. The waitress was forgetful in an almost empty building, but that’s okay because we’re human. Then we didn’t see that gratuity was automatically added to our party of sixes, bill. So we double tipped which was annoying. Also it being for a birthday and getting nothing and no dessert. Just a let down. We went back to use the restroom when it was a night club and it was very busy and the security guard was very nice so that looked like something we’d maybe visit in the future

    The food was just flat out not good. Our server was wonderful, attentive, and quick however. The manager was kind as well, offered us free drinks even (we ate a few bites and just couldn’t stomach it and left shortly after, grateful for his offer but we passed so we could hurry on and find food elsewhere). I have NEVER once left somewhere that quickly! We ordered “truffle fries” first. They were like thick crinkle fries from a frozen bag, were soft and flavorless, and had barely a sprinkling of cheese and zero truffle flavor to be found. Also no bacon, which was listed on the menu (I’m not wild about bacon anyway so it wasn’t a big loss for me, but it just wasn’t as described). Three dips were provided for the fries…bbq sauce was one, which was quite strange. We both ordered the lamb baracoa, which was just inedible for both of us. I LOVE lamb…but this just left a bad taste in my mouth, the texture was off, and the grits just weren’t a good mix with it either. I took two bites and put the fork down…I just couldn’t do it. I had a bad feeling when I walked in and it was totally empty on a Saturday night when you’re right in the heart of downtown. It looks like they’ve tried to make the ambiance fit downtown but the booths and paint around it looked rough and just didn’t fit the vibe they advertise. It’s such a shame…it’s a great location, *looks* like it will be a good menu, but it’s more like extremely cheap food with a price tag that doesn’t even come close to matching the quality ($38 main dish, $16 fries…absolutely not. McDonalds is better!) The website makes you think you’re getting a much classier vibe and quality food and you just feel hoodwinked when you’re there.

    It took us 2 hours to get our food. Our waitress was inattentive and slow along with uncommunicative. We asked multiple times about the wait and were told 5 minutes twice and finally the 3rd time the food did come out. It was not that busy either. We had 7 people and ordered 2 pizzas, 2 burger, 2 side salad and kung pao shrimp. The shrimp was cold when it came out and it was extremely salty so it was sent back. We did not wait for a replacement. It was a horrible experience and we couldn’t wait to get out of there. The only saving grace was the entertainment. She was fantastic.
