It was quiet here for lunch on a Monday afternoon. This is my favorite place for a great burger. But decided to try a French dip which did not compare. Friend enjoyed the buttermilk chicken sandwich.

The service was good. Unfortunately the food was just ok. 3 of the 7 people in our party had burgers. The rolls were very soggy and falling apart. 2 people had the grilled basil chicken sandwich. No real taste to it. The fries that came with the burgers and sandwiches were just ok. 1 person had the shrimp toscana. It was also just ok. Kind of dry. 1 person had a Greek salad with chicken. Also nothing special. We’ve been here before a number of years ago and wasn’t thrilled with the food but decided to give it another try. Not sure we’ll be back again. Unfortunate because the service was very good.

We were a group of 4 people. We were offered drinks immediately and soon after we ordered our food came out. All was delicious. It was bottomless brunch for a fixed price and they didn't try to rush us out or stop serving us drinks after we were finished eating. I highly recommend,

first time coming to this place. overall it was a good decision. the only thing was the plating of the filet mignon. the meat and a small sauce n that was it. plate looks so empty since it’s a big plate with a small piece of meat. for the price they can atleast try a little bit of more effort to look appetizing. taste was good only on a bit of the dry side. and the other thing was the 18. my husbnd complained the sauce was too much that it can be too overwhelming after a few bites. willing to go back hopefully it will be much better.

Service was very as always. The Parker House rolls which everyone looks forward to did not come out warm again. What was once one of my favorite dishes the blackened swordfish and crabmeat hash for the second time was disappointing. The fish was overcooked the sauce was too much and the hash was flavorless.

The food is always excellent here. The service is hit or miss sometimes. We had to wait this last time for at least 15 minutes and a flag down for someone to take our order. But the food is always good here, so I convinced my lady that I wanted us to stay. The chef did not disappoint. The ambiance is great. It's definitely a neighborhood gem.

A lot of the food came out wrong and took the entire meal for the replacements to come. Most of the desserts we ordered were not available which was odd as we had an early reservation.
