    We scheduled a reservation ahead of time to celebrate our anniversary after we heard good things about their food but once we showed up we were shown to our table then blatantly ignored by every waiter. It was weird tbh they just walked by us for 20 minutes trying not to make eye contact no one even tried to bring us water. We left after being looked past for 20 minutes and ended up at Rosie’s around the corner 10/10 recommend it was AMAZING and the staff was awesome you should totally pick them over this place. Totally disappointed I expected better

    The food was better than expected complex and complementary flavors! We ordered a couple appetizers they are large enough to share. The halibut and Beef/ beets cooked in beef tallow was our favorite! Be back sooner than later

    All was generally good but after mentioning several times that we had no time constraints, our server was at our table every 5 minutes to move us along. We had cocktails, appetizers, and entrees and we were paying our bill 1 hour and 5 minutes from the time we walked in. Felt very rushed.

    We dined in for lunch and we really enjoyed ourselves! The Shisito peppers were lovely! Our server Tucker was friendly and professional. He really made us feel like we were at home. About mid way through our meal we were approached by a woman (assume the manager) and asked us if everything was great. It was to which we replied. If you haven’t been to Pennyflower you should really give it a try. Food and service were both spectacular!
