    Service was very good. Food was ok, a couple of issues. Artichoke fritters has not artichoke. The mussels were undercooked! We ate maybe half and decided it was not really worth the risk. Everything else was ok. Soup was excellent!

    I had many choices for dinner and decided Narrative was where I wanted to celebrate my brother's birthday. It did not disappoint. Service was wonderful, food was timely and delicious.

    Came here on Mother’s Day and had a wonderful brunch. It was mostly reservations so not overly crowded like some places on a special day. Service was friendly and attentive. Ordered the cinnamon rolls and I had an iced almond milk vanilla latte and my guest had an iced mocha latte. Both coffees were strong and perfectly sweetened and creamy. The two cinnamon rolls were big, scratch made and delicious. So big in fact that we shared one to not spoil our appetites for the mains. We both got Eggs Benedicts, but different kinds, crab Benedict and the narrative regular one. Both we so delicious I would love to come back to have them again. The restaurant ambience is upscale, the background music nice and not too loud to talk. Tables separated enough to not hear your neighbors conversation. Also street parking is free on Sundays. All in all it was wonderful. Highly recommend you come for brunch.
