    Great place for a pre-show dinner! Just a couple of blocks away from many theaters, yet half the price of many competing restaurants in the area. Had sampler appetizer and then New York steak/Halibut. Chef did an excellent job with all. Delicious steak prepared correctly as requested at medium rare. Halibut was steamed in paper which kept it appropriately moist. Menu has a wide variety of food and drink to suit many tastes. Recommend!

    Food was decent. We thought the mac & cheese and osso bucco were quite good. There were a few signs of farm-to-table, e.g., delicious asparagus and good salads. The room is attractive, but was punishingly loud for our 6pm reservation. Moreover there was unappealing music adding to the noise. I may try this place again, but only at a slow time of day.

    Service was extremely slow. Food was good, nothing exceptional. The strawberry cheesecake, which one of the servers recommended, was absent of anything resembling a strawberry; only some red gel squiggle on the top that didn’t taste like strawberry. The check was a fiasco, with 2 different totals listed and also 2 margaritas we never ordered.

    Food was very good and reasonably priced especially for the neighborhood. They are definitely still ironing out some kinks and the rollover from what used to be an Italian restaurant to more American casual. Servers were very welcoming and friendly but not super efficient. Long wait for appetizers and we got our soda literally five minutes before they presented us with the bill. They didn’t seem understaffed just not running as operationally smooth as they need to in a bustling neighborhood. I’ll wait a couple of months for the kinks to iron out and definitely be back.

    When I walked in and saw the creative decor and then saw the creative menu, I really wanted to love this place. I had read mixed reviews about the service, and unfortunately, I had the negative experience that I was hoping was just a couple of disgruntled patrons. All the people around us who were seating either at the same time or even after us got their drinks and food before we even had someone pay attention to us. Then, we ordered 2 Stella beers. About 15 minutes later, our waiter came over and said that their other restaurant where they get their beer from is out of Stella and they. only had IPAs. What? They don't keep their own beer at their location? I don't get it. My husband went with the IPA and I decided to go with a Limoncello martini. When that was taking awhile, I asked the waiter who said "He's making it." Another 15 minutes later, my husband got up to go to the bar (in another room) to see what was up and the bartender had not started making it. We'd now been at the restaurant 45 minutes and I still didn't have my drink. Another establishment would have comped it -- that didn't happen here. I have such conflicted feelings because once I got the drink, it was honestly the best limoncello martini I'd ever had. And the food was very good. The waiter was nice, but I feel like there were some significant language barriers with the entire staff we encountered. Since I saw the other tables get timely service, I'd like to give the place another chance, but my husband isn't willing to risk it and won't go back.

    Enjoyed a wonderful afternoon theater dinner. The service was excellent, drinks well preferred and a generous pour. The salmon, chicken and turkey burger were presented well, tasty and delicious, as were the sides. This is a welcoming place and a solid value for the area!

    Incredible experience with an outstanding staff that is welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The restaurant is beautiful with its walls filled with flowers and plants, plus the neon signs providing a casual, yet stylistic vibe. The menu offers a wide variety of options of all dietary preferences/restrictions plus a beverage menu including wines from all over the world and mocktails for our friends who don’t drink. I am not sure about the recent one star reviews I saw but every restaurant can have a bad day at some point. Fortunately for us, we had a great time and will definitely be going back. 100% recommend the veggie burger and Salmon buddha bowl. Delicious

    Massive food delay. Multiple food delays with people leaving to make it to the shows they bought tickets too. Missing food. No communication or any apologies concerning the delay.

    Food never came. After waiting an hour we had to leave to go to theatre. Do not go here before a show.
