    Dinner was a unique experience (in a good way!) We were a group of 5 and we ordered the small board and 6 small plates . That amount of food was perfect for us. Our server was Emily and she was so helpful and pleasant. I’ll ask for her the next time we go! My only disappointment was the charcuterie board itself. I thought that some of the items were on the skimpy side. I would have like much more jam for the cheese. Oh, the Reisling wine was delicious!!!

    The Board Room is a great restaurant for enjoying a variety of small plates with good friends. The service is great. The food is served quickly and the plating is stunning. The menu offers a large number of interesting cocktails and wines. We enjoyed our dinner. My only complaint is that it is fairly loud - seems they could do something to fix the acoustics.

    The restaurant was adorable and everyone was nice but our food came out literally 7 minutes after we arrived and all at once on a tiny table — super uncomfortable. We were out in 37 minutes despite our desire for a leisurely meal. So $150 for 37 minutes was a bummer.

    We had a high top in front of the bar right by the vent. If you are a hot person it was cold and distracting. Of the 4 of 1 loved their meal the steak. The Salmon seemed slightly more fishy than desired, my mushrooms were late, but ok. Not tender but really burn my mouth hot. The chicken was o er cooked. The drinks were good and the cheese board was great as usual.

    Fairly nice evening. Had booked with notation that it was our anniversary-never acknowledged while there. A little sour beginning being told as we were seated that they had another reservation for our table in two hours! Food was good - probably a better experience to go with at least 4 people so we could have shared and tried more dishes. We ordered bananas foster for dessert but their “version” was a butter torte (cake) with bananas and cream on top - we were disappointed. Okay but disappointing evening for our first visit. Would go back but with more people. It was quite noisy by the time we left.

    Not worth it for the price. The service is a hit or Miss, the food is all over the place, the cocktail menu is not great. The Brussel sprout salad is almost inedible.

    We had never been here since it opened, decided to try it for our wedding anniversary, which we noted in our Open Table reservation; however, the restaurant did not acknowledge this in any way, which was a touch disappointing. However, the food and service were very good. We would go back again.

    Hi John, Thank you for the 5 star review. We personally reached out to each guest who had reservations with us sharing we would be having live music and offered each guest to be moved inside for it. We moved everyone inside that wanted to be away from the live music. Hope everything else was okay and you had a nice dinner.

    It would have been 5 star if the wait staff did not continually remove dishes and utensils from the table while we were not yet finished eating. They took away my wife’s knife and fork she needed to eat the rest of her plate of food. We had the feeling we were being rushed to make room for the next party of people. Our entire dinner experience from the time we sat down to paying the bill took less than 30-minutes.

    Service was great! Food was awesome! We ordered Crispy Korean tacos, pork belly buns and chicken Milanese. My husband and I found the amount of food was more than enough. Small plates…but more than enough to share with another couple so the value is definitely worth it.
