    Service is just too slow. Servers are very nice but drinks took 20mins to arrive and food took over 30mins. They need to be ready for a busy Sat night crowd and they clearly are not - at least yet.

    Wait staff was very personable and attentive. Noise level was on the high side but to be expected at a family restaurant. Food is very good with large portions.

    This was my third time there and first time I ever recommended someplace. I usually leave it up to everyone else. All were pleased and we loved our waitress. Her name was Louise. She was very friendly and we are all/were in the food service industry so we like a friendly waiter / waitress . She definitely fit the bill. Will be back.

    Pros: Overall I loved my experience. What a beautiful transformation with the space. Our waitress was great and the food came out quickly (perfect for people on work lunch hour). Cons: I ordered the Mesquite Chicken bowl and although it was very tasty, it was quite dry. I felt like it could have used some sort of a dressing or sauce. Also, the acoustics were not great (and it wasn't even a rowdy Friday or Saturday night). As with everything lately, it seemed a little overpriced for the dish. Otherwise, I will be back and just try something different next time.

    Uncomfortably dark with very little lighting in some areas. Much too loud. The music is much too loud but more than that it is very dark. It made people at our table tired as we did not have a light over us. You can see people holding up menus in different ways to try to catch a glimmer of light to read the words. It was a beautiful sunny evening but you would never know it for how dark they kept the restaurant. It already has very dark walls so it felt like a cave when the sun went down. The food was very good but we couldn’t wait to leave. Please give customers the ability to see and hear. Sadly, we will not return.

    Beautiful new space, fun vibe and the menu is great for people with food sensitivities. I was disappointed with the General Tzo’s chicken though. Not that great and pricey. The picante burger was good but not very spicy. We will try again

    I would have put better marks if the noise level was lower. We asked the server to have the bom bom noise shut off but management didn’t do it. Food was good and service was good but we couldn’t hear our friends talk so that will influence whether we come back again.

    Staff and service was outstanding. The noise level from the customers conversations was deafening. I never recalled the acoustics from previous establishment, John Harvard Brewery, that bad. The sound measured in decibels was equivalent to a rock convert.

    Food was a little higher than I'd expect (just a dollar or two) and just okay. Service was pretty good - although the restaurant wasn't full, I appreciated that they had a wait so they didn't overload waitstaff. It was extremely noisy though, especially as the night went on (and it was fairly early for dinner - 6p to 8p or so).

    New restaurant. Very well designed. Desperately needs blinds. Half the restaurant was struggling with the sun. Also, need better insect treatments. Of the windows are going to be open, you can’t be swatting flies it off your food all meal. But it’s only been open for a month. Food really good. They’ll find their way.

    Service was good. Our server had a trainee with her and they were good. Ordered apps and kids meals. Drinks were slow to come out. Had to ask for refills on water. Ordered chips with my black and Bleu burger, got fries. Server brought out chips after asking about it. Cold(not warm like stated on the menu) and tasted burnt. Food took forever to come out. Overall disappointed and reminds me why I stopped going to these when they opened Burlington! Good Luck, we won't be back!

    The ambience was great. The dining area was open to the outdoors which was very nice. We started with Shrimp & Crab Cake and Southwest Tots - both yummy! The jicama slaw was very refreshing. The tots are a generous portion. We had Fish+Chips, Quinoa w/Seared Salmon (salmon was underwhelming and overcooked) and Tavern Burger. The Fish+Chips was the star entree, flaky, crispy, and tasty. We dined early to avoid the crowd, it was very pleasant. Service was acceptable (we had to ask for water). As we were leaving it was getting busy. Glad we dined early! Overall an enjoyable experience. Will return.

    We found the service to be poor. First we were led to a table for 6 when we were only 2. Then we had to wait about 20 minutes before seeing a server. Our drinks took a long time to arrive. The food was fine, what one would expect. We won't be rushing back.

    The evening sun coming through the patio doors was so strong that I received a sun burn on my neck. Most patrons in our INDOOR section were wearing their sunglasses. There was no shade or way to diminish the brightness. Courses could have been timed better. The bar order was way too slow. They were busy so we were made to feel rushed to turn over our table. Not a good place for someone who has trouble hearing in crowded environments. We’ll go back, but not until the winter, and will likely sit at the bar.

    The food and decor are excellent but the noise level is through the roof. We were also there in the evening when the sun was blinding for all the tables facing the parking lot. Note to the owners- invest in some sun shades! Overall, great addition to the area!

    We had a party of four, and three out of four rated all aspects as outstanding. One our group experienced a less than outstanding experience with the lemon blueberry pancakes. Instead of being fluffy and light, the pancakes were dense and chunky. When separating a segment with a fork, the segment fell apart instead of coming off in a piece of three layers. The pancakes were so crumbly that it was hard to pick them up with a fork to eat them, each piece had to be scooped from its bottom in order to pick them up. The other three entrees were good enough to return to the restaurant to order, but despite the server’s recommendation, we would steer clear of the pancakes on our next visit.
