We attended the Valentine's Day dinner... they food was spectacular! As expected they were very busy. This allowed plenty of time to talk and enjoy the live music. The staff was friendly and attentive... albeit stressed due to the large turn out. The owner/chief even came out to help and speak with guests. This is a great place!

The problem here was on Valentines Day: This is where the problem occurred we called in advance and questioned the individual that has answered. Of course we had called other establishments nearby with a similar ambiance and menu. We have frequented this establishment before but not over Valentines day. My wife asked what were the specials & pricing of certain dishes being served that evening but no fixed prices were discussed she reserved the table of 6. So our Father on a fixed income and sister-in law and husband showed as well 6 total. Once seated we looked at the menu to find that each person Valentines meal was going to be fixed. 75.00 bucks ridiculous never going back we were flummoxed and fleeced. We could have left yes but at 6:00 pm and leave to only look for other menus???

Cool, hip place with great coffee, service and food. We had breakfast and everything was fantastic! From the orange cornbread waffle to the sidewalk slam breakfast. Be sure to get a bloody mary, made to your desired level of heat, with a spicy rimmer and a plump, well-seasoned shrimp! Homemade hotsauce and jam too! Will be back for dinner, creme bruelle and parties on the patio this summer.

Our reservation was confirmed twice yet the restuarant was closed when we arrived. There was no notice or attempt to contact us. The owner was unapologetic and made a thin attempt to save face by offering a free dessert "next time we come in." We looked forward to trying Dark Star for the first time as we had heard the food is great and atmosphere appealing. There will be no "next time" as we will not waste another opportunity for a date night away from our young kids at Dark Star, which is a shame because we are a short walk away. First impressions are everything and this one was a dud.

They were clearly unprepared for restaurant week, as several items were no longer available, but the service was great, and the food we had was absolutely fantastic. We went for dinner, for which I'll go back, but I am really excited to go back for breakfast and try those waffles!
