    Fine brunch spot. Good bottomless mimosa deal (worth it if you have at least 4 mimosas, otherwise just pay $7 each). I made a request that they omit sausage from my breakfast burrito and I was told that "they're already made." This did not give me confidence that the food was prepared fresh. Meals came out extremely fast and we had the bill less than 30 minutes after we sat down. It felt like we were being rushed out, but there were plenty of tables to seat other guests and no wait.

    The restaurant is intimate and perfect for either a date night or friends’ get together. Our server (the entire staff) was friendly and accommodating. He checked in with us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was amazing. I had the salmon stuffed with crab. *chef’s kiss*. Would definitely visit again!

    We were not impressed by our meal at Station 4 yesterday. The noise level was so high the waiters had to shout - and so did we. The food arrived lukewarm (eggs benedict) with overdone, cold potatoes and watery bernaise sauce. My lunch partner was satisfied with his meal - but not enthusiastic. The service was slow but OK - the waiter was friendly. I've dined pleasantly on the patio but it was closed for a special event.

    Everything we ate was incredible! The calamari was huge and flavorful! Perfectly fried. The crab and artichoke dip was so delicious and the stuffed salmon (although I wish there was more crab meat) was so good! The mash potatoes and fries must be made for God’s favorite potatoes. Truly tasty.

    Very over priced flavorless steaks. Had to send back as it was almost raw (asked for medium). They put it under a broiler way too long the 2nd time and dried it out completely. Mac and cheese was as flavorless as the steaks. Ruth's Chris price, not even longhorn quality..

    Food was subpar- way too expensive for the quality of food. Horrible, not only tasting but quality. I was excited about the pictures online….but during lunch for my special occasions NEVER do it. literally a light drinker and it tasted like water, for a crazy price!!! Birthday Lunch gone BAD- The crab dip was literally 90% cheese on top. The shrimp was so hot in the boiling oil burnt our mouths. The sandwich’s we didn’t even eat 1/2 of either of them….sooo A Lot of money wasted for going 1 hour away~ good luck!

    Food was below mediocre; unseasoned. As someone who frequently brunches in the city, the noise level in there was insane. People were literally yelling trying to talk over the other guests. Maybe servers should cut guests off the bottomless mimosas when guest start knocking over chairs. Also, there was no music being played…where was the ambiance’s??

    I don’t usually leave negative reviews but this brunch was super sub-par. We went to brunch with our daughter hoping for a special meal/outing. Instead, our server was either inexperienced or just bad. For example, there were several small things that lessened our experience - mugs had coffee drips/stains on the outside. We were happy when he came to refill our coffee, but he literally drained the pot - not really appealing if you are looking for fresh coffee at brunch. , even worse was the quality of the food - crab Benedict had unappetizing bits of crab as did the salmon Benedict. The Hollandaise sauce tasted canned. Potatoes were okay but a bit greasy. We left feeling that this was not a restaurant we will eat at again. They need to do better if they want to create a nice brunch experience for return customers. Really disappointing.

    The initial server an older gentleman who did not introduce himself, was extremely rude. We asked for creamer for a second cup of coffee, he told us to use the one from the other guests. My dad asked if he could add onions and peppers on his potatoes, he basically told my dad eat the potatoes the way the are served. We had to ask for another server because we could no longer tolerate his rudeness. My moms steak cane out tasting burnt no flavor it should have been medium but it was dry with no flavor. This was my moms second time she said she would not return due this customer service and the food.

    So let’s start with our table had no silverware and we were never offered water until we were leaving . Second the first waiter forgot to put in our drinks. Then, the Stuffed Salmon with crab wasn’t cooked thoroughly and had no taste. The spinach was so salty I had to spit it out instantly. Then the Brussels sprouts were over saturated with vinegar. After all that our waiter never came back. Thankfully there was a waiter by the name of Alissa who went above and beyond . She was amazing and saved the day. Her customer service was impeccable. She listened , solved the issue and showed team work. Even though she could’ve thrown her co-worker under the bus, she didn’t . She showed integrity and apologized . She showed true dedication to the restaurant and encouraged us to come bk. Alissa would be the only reason I would consider coming bk.

    My best friend and I made a reservation this past Saturday for dinner. We both ordered the lambchops with risotto for our main course. The food and drinks were good and the atmosphere was nice. But I didn't appreciate the servers asking us "how is everything" every few minutes. I'm glad they checked in, but it was too much. The kicker was having some lady, I guess she was the manager for that night, asking us to leave about 10 minutes after we finished our meal so that they can seat other people. We spent well over 200.00 in that restaurant for just two people. She could've given us a little more time or even asked nicer. It was embarrassing to have the manager come over as if we had done something wrong, and it made me wonder if that's why the servers kept bothering us. We decided not to cause a fuss and got up to move to the bar which was ok, but we did have to correct them on the check and keep flagging them down.

    I visited with 2 friends on Saturday, February 11th for brunch and overall I'd give them 3.5-4 stars. The hostess didn't notice that I requested booth seating on my reservation and also didn't tell the server that we were celebrating a birthday. The server was new so she had to ask for assistance with a few questions we had. I had the chicken and waffles which were just ok, one of my friends had the shrimp and grits which she said was good/spicy and my other friend had steak, eggs and home fries - eggs and potatoes were good but steak was just ok. The pineapple and strawberry mimosas were also very good. I couldn't enjoy my coffee because they only had whole milk - no creamer or half and half. After letting the server know that we were celebrating a birthday she brought out a complimentary slice of cheesecake. Overall the restaurants decor is very nice, hostess station although pleasant should pay attention to guest requests, the server was nice/attentive and the food is ok.

    Came before a show at Arena Stage. Had to request Theater Menu. Service was confused. Wrong dishes brought several times. Roasted chicken with sage butter had no hint of sage and was extremely salty. Swapped dessert for house wine which made it pretty good deal. Overall, not impressed.

    We ordered the pre theater 3 course menu. The servers were pleasant but service was uneven, especially given that the place was nearly empty. Our server was slow to get.to us, then drinks came quickly, followed by the first course. The main course appeared just minutes later, before we were halfway done with the first.course. Then no one came back for a long time, no one cleared the plates from our first course. Dessert and check both came in reasonable times. The food was pretty good (but nothing memorable) though. And we got to the theater on time.

    Visiting from out of town. We arrived and the restaurant was empty save one other couple, who left after their coffee. The entire restaurant smelled like dirty mop water IYKYK and it was overwhelming. The $7 “americano” coffee we ordered was burnt, like it had been on the burner for hours despite them opening at 10am. We were seated at 1055, ordered, and finished eating by 1110. From ordering time to food on the table was 5 minutes. 20% gratuity is automatically added during brunch. It did start to slightly pick up pace when we left at 1115. For the price we paid I would definitely not go back.
