    Service was slow and some ordered items were never received. Staff seemed to be overworked/understaffed but we were ignored most of the time at our table and I had to repeat my order because they forgot what I ordered. Not worth the price. Entree was good.

    Hi Shaun, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We apologize for the slow service and missed items. We appreciate your patience and will address these concerns internally to improve. We're glad you enjoyed the entree and hope to provide a better experience next time.

    menu was lacking, food was uninspired and bland. it was recommended as a good place for people watching yet it was outside the pearl st. buzz. the service was slow, the servers said the kitchen was backed up yet the restaurant was mostly empty. we were looking for brunch and the brunch menu was pretty sad. overall felt like a bad choice and wish we'd gone elsewhere.

    Service was mediocre for an OpenTable restaurant. Table was ready about 15 after the reserved time. Server wasn’t good about drink refills. Food was decent. Brussels sprouts were flavorful - but a little over crisp & essentially falling apart. Probably wouldn’t return.

    Food is excellent, interesting but not fussy. Had a wonderful steak sandwich with chile and onions. Family vibe on Sunday, more 'grown-up' at other times. Cocktails and mocktails first-rate, coffee very good. One of our favorite places, both indoors and outdoors.

    Unorganized. The people next to us left because no one came to take their food order. Lots of staff roaming around, but there seemed to be no assigned sections so it felt chaotic. I think if you are staying at the hotel it might make a convenient choice, but there are tons of other places in the area for a better meal.

    Poor service and just ok food. We waited 10-15 minutes before even being acknowledged and the place wasn’t even busy. We also didn’t get our food until over an hour from when we arrived. Then, the kids meal was forgotten and took even longer to get. Everything just seemed to take forever. Food was also not worth the price. The place had a cool vibe since it was in a historic building, but overall, it was not an enjoyable experience.

    Was promptly seated but it took 20 minutes for a sever to take our drink orders. Had to find someone to place an order for appetizers. Then had to track down waiter to place the dinner order. 45 minutes later, waiter came by and said “I forgot to enter your order. What did you want again?” Another 40 minutes passed and then the food came. But, no one had bussed the empty glasses or appetizer dishes so we bussed the tables ourselves in order to make room for dinner. Waiter offered to comp a round of drinks for the inconvenience. We finally ate 2:15 after sitting down and 1:30 after ordering the first time. I have been going here for 20 years and the service has fallen off a cliff. Not even an “I’m sorry” for the hassle. It was also incredibly loud. Food was good, but not good enough to justify the wait and poor service. Run away.

    I love the Corner Bar, and dine there at least once a month, often on the delicious Verlasso salmon sandwich, with a side of cole slaw. It's a great place to meet a friend for dinner, either inside or outside, where the people-watching is great fun.

    This has been one of favorite spots, unfortunately yesterday's meal was a disappointment. The service was HORRIBLE. Items ordered were not prepared properly; protein was missing from the salad and finally delivered after the meal was finished; the appetizer came late into the meal. The server never came by to check on anything. Coffee/tea never delivered…food prep people and expediters stepped in to try and fix, but it was a bit late.
