    I really enjoyed the format of this restaurant - it's a great addition to downtown Augusta. We dined at the interior bar and the servers were attentive and kind. The food was below par - especially compared to the delicious food at Edgar's and their bakery. It seemed to be "a day old" - the pretzel was tough and difficult to tear apart, the cheese dip was kind of cold, the sliders were overcooked and stale tasting and the brisket flatbread was the same. The blue crab dip was good and I recommend that. Maybe it was a bad night and we'll try again.

    Reserved a table for 4. Reservation confirmed twice. Was told upon arrival that no table was available and that those who were at the table reserved them ahead of me. After arguing I got a high top table that sits 6. Then no napkins or silverware were provided, (I retrieved them for my group myself). No one came to our table for 20 minutes. Then the food to all my group was finished before mine arrived. Took more than once I had to find my server because she didn’t come by. Had concert tickets and half the group went ahead because I couldn’t get my bill in a timely manner. Left cash on the table and left to make the show. Good quality is good but very small portions for the price. The food, drinks and atmosphere is not enough to make up for terrible service.

    The food was excellent but the service was horrible. Our server never spoke to us. She literally just stood at the table and looked at us. She never checked on us so we did not have the opportunity to order additional beverages or get water refills. My friend had been there in the past and had a much better experience so this was disappointing.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the outside seating. The service was excellent. We chose several different items from the menu. All were very flavorful, the sliders were the best I’ve ever had! My only recommendation would be to add signage to designate the entrance to the building and that the restaurant is on the 3rd floor. I look forward to our next visit!

    Even though all the restaurants are feeling the stress of the times we’re in right now, EAB handled the crowd with kindness and grace. Just the kind of hospitality we hoped for before going to see a concert at the arena. Fantastic location, great food, excellent drinks, and top notch service. What else could you ask for? Make that reservation!!

    My 14, and 8 yr old daughters, and I came into celebrate a late Valentines. I wanted something unique and different; instead of your typical chained steak house. My oldest was impressed with the live music; and the atmosphere was appropriate for them both. The waiter gave my 8 yr old crayons; and was happy with her cheese quesadilla. The food was great! And dessert helped complete or date! Definitely will be back!

    Potato wedges were HORRIBLE! Had better wedges at TPS gas station. Chicken wing tasted OK but were TINY. Even the desert was barely passable. Ordered the brownie. Hard as a rock! They swapped it for the cheese cake. Not bad. B. W.

    The food was ok. Nothing to special. It’s tapas. Plus we made the reservation and the didn’t honor technically. The manger was cool and explained that they were short staffed so the service was lacking significantly, but another table had a waitress different from ours and she seemed to do a good job of checking her tables.

    The drinks and atmosphere are fantastic! They need to improve the menu and available choices. Love the tapas idea but very limited selection. It is a really fun space though and would love to come more frequently with an improved menu. One of the most appealing spaces to meet friend for drinks after work or meet before or after a show downtown.

    Always love EAB, this is our second New Year's Eve there, and both times we had a wonderful experience - due in no small part to our server Roland. We were fortunate enough to be in his section both years, and he is courteous, friendly, funny and knowledgeable about the menu, restaurant and area. The food was outstanding, we ordered tapas and shared, and they were all outstanding, as were the cocktails. The only negative at all was that it was raining so we didn't get to enjoy the outdoor games and ambience (obviously through no fault of Edgar's), but to their credit they opened the partition as soon as possible, and it was wonderful that they have the rain shield so we could still technically dine outside. Highly recommend!!

    We sat for 20 minutes without being greeted or served after the host sat us outside. I had to go to the bar and ask for a server to wait on us. I’m still not sure who our server was and the whole experience was super disorganized. We ordered the mussels and 2 dips as appetizers. The 2 dips came out immediately but were in 2 oz ramekins. I was pretty surprised by the size as it was $12! The mussels never came even though we ordered them as an appetizer. While waiting for the mussels, we decided to also order the chicken wings. For $9 per order I expected at least 7 per plate. However, only 4 wings came on the tiny plate and the wings were tiny and flavorless. By now, I’m over the entire experience and tell the server to forget about the mussels so we can just leave. Awful ambiance, awful service, and horribly disappointing food flavor and portions.

    The ambience and the rooftop seating was the best part of the dining experience. The drinks were ok, nothing really special, and they were out of merlot. The food was fine, I felt that $9 for 4 wings was a little steep. I believe that that rooftop and ambience is how they substantiate the tapas/ food prices. I can't quite figure out what the establishment is trying to be, it was sending mixed messages, but it has potential for sure.

    The Roasted Mojo wings were dry and tough and had no flavor. When ordering the Patatas Bravas, it was supposed to have manchego cheese on it, however only about 2 of the potatoes had cheese on them, the rest did not, and there was no chimichurri in the aioli. The Wagu sliders tasted good, however, one them had cheddar on only half of the burger. They also were over priced on their bourbon’s, and their pour was very small.

    TL;DR: this venue is more for drinks and hanging out than for dinner. Our experience here was just okay. We went for dinner, but I don’t think we will go here again for food. The restaurant itself has a cute and vibrant atmosphere. They have games, live music, and other shows. When we got there the music was a bit loud, but we did go around 9PM and I think it turns more into a bar the later it gets. The food tasted fairly good. The buffalo chicken and pimento cheese dips were delicious, but the toasted bread served with it was very hard. The pork nachos had good flavor, but many of the pork rinds were too hard to eat. The sliders were really tasty too, but I’m not sure the portion size was worth the price. My biggest complaint is their timing. My boyfriend got his nachos about 10 minutes after we got the appetizer, but I didn’t get my sliders for at least another 20 minutes. Obviously they just threw the nachos together. It wouldn’t have been difficult for them to make the nachos closer to the time that my sliders were ready so they could bring those out together.

    As visitors, we had no clue where to eat near our hotel on 6th and Broad. A chance stop at Edgar’s bakery, and a recommendation for Edgar’s above Broad. Charming ambience. Friendly service. Shout out to Roland. We had the spreads trio of French onion, buffalo chicken, and crab with bread and crudités. We had a Nicois salad with all kinds of goodies on it as well as the shrimp and Johnny cakes. Homemade ice cream sandwiches rounded out the meal. We were pleasantly stuffed. The adorable vintage Airstream converted to a bar was a nice touch. Bright painted murals, yard games like corn hole snd Bocci ball vie with the pleasant view from 3 stories above Broad. This place was hopping Saturday night. Lots of singles, mingling. Live music.

    Waited 15 minutes for a server to come to our table. She took drink and appetizer order. Drinks arrived but after 45 minutes, the appetizers had not. We paid for drinks and left. When we asked about the food, the waitress responded: “You never got your food?”

    Small plates were smaller portions than I've had in other experiences. Definitely need several for two people. Food was excellent. Service very friendly. We were there early so it was fairly quite (6 - 7 pm). As were were leaving it was getting busier and louder. Would definitely recommend.

    I made a reservation for 6 outside as I was told to for the singing competition and when we arrived was told they didn’t have room for us. Wouldn’t even allow us to sit at a 4 seat table and pull up a chair (as we ended up with only 5) as they were all reserved (which should have included my reservation). Was disappointed I’m not being able to be a part of everything like I’d hoped.

    They would not add two seats to my reservation. Had been trying to contact them for 3 days prior. Then the seating they gave us for 6 was not made for 6.
