We have been coming here for the last 10 years every time we attend a show at the Performing Arts. This was the worst service that we have experienced!! We ordered a couple of glasses of wine and didn’t receive them until half or dinner was over. We had to ask for them!! Our water glass was a plastic cup! We thought this was a higher standard restaurant! Very disappointed!!!

The food here is ok. Not great but ok. If you order carefully you can find good things. We had the seasonal barata salad which was amazing and really tasty and a good value. The biggest ripoff was the “artesianal bread basket”. Will attach a pic if I can. It was 6 little pieces of bread and three little mounds of butter fore $16!! Could not believe it. Do not order this!

The menu is really limited…and more limited when they ran out of chicken for two of the things on the menu. It was the day of a matinee at the Buell theater. Not a surprise rush. The food we got was mediocre and over priced.

This was my first time dining here, and I will definitely be back! I have numerous food allergies to content with, and the bartender/server (I believe his name was Daron) was extra diligent in ensuring I knew exactly what I could/could not order from the menu. He had already noted my allergies before I arrived thanks to my information in OpenTable, and went through every menu item with me to see what would work. He confirmed everything with the kitchen and I had a wonderful meal. Even though I sat at the bar, the service was exceptional, and I never felt forgotten because it was busy. I even had a nice conversation with another diner at the bar. It was a lovely evening. Oh, and the food was fantastic!
