    We came with 4 friends. The waitress did not come to take our order for a long time, but understood due to the crowd. It cleared out after 10-15 minutes and there was only 4 other tables with patrons. Service continued to be slow and the waitress was extremely rude. Food came out quickly and was delicious.

    Really good food, although the menu isn’t very large, but that’s probably why they’re able to have quality for the items they do have. Only disappointment was my daughter was looking forward to pizza and they ran out of pizza dough earlier.

    Took our family to HatBack for dinner after visiting Enchant. We had a reservation due to having small children in our party. We were seated quickly in a family friendly room and the service and food were fantastic!

    Food and service was terrible. Kitchen put a steak salad in a microwave when I mentioned the steak was not done enough for me. The salad came back wilted in a piping hot bowl. The rest of the tables food was okay, drinks were not good. Pricey restaurant for mediocre food.

    Food was quite bland. Lemon Chicken, potatoes, and brocollini. Only thing that had flavor was brocollini, which was a charred flavor. Pulled Pork Sandwich, the pickled beets was the only thing that provided flavor. Sprite was flat. Homemade chips were good, pizza was good. Food got delivered quick, however entire service was slow. Server started clearing the table AFTER getting handed the check with the card, and didn't clear any dishes until then. Poor time to spend cleaning up the table. Either it should be done throughout (taking away excess dishes), or should wait til after the costumer has paid and left. Not while you are holding the check and card, delaying time.
