The food was outstanding! No question on the quality of the food. The cocktails were good. We were surprised at the slow service and the time it took to get orders out of the kitchen given there was barely a few tables, including ours. It seems they got off to a great start but things like employee turnover and training for the front of the house has lapsed a bit. Will definitely go back as the food was that good to overlook the other stuff.

As usual, the food was outstanding. The four of us in our party each had something different: Volcano Pork, Ribeye, Lemon Garlic Chicken, and Chicken Sandwich. The service was subpar this time. The young man seemed distracted and missed a lot of things. He also messed up our checks, and they had to be redone. Additionally, they were out of all but two beers, and one person in our party ordered the fish and chips, and the server came back after several minutes and said they were no longer serving fish and chips (it's on the menu). I hope they are doing ok...

Great new spot for those who appreciate elevated food and cocktail options and know that it’s going to cost you more than a trip to Outback Steakhouse. Staff is sincerely friendly and overly accommodating. Menu has something for everyone and everything our group tried was very good: braided pretzel loaf / burger / ox tail roll / numerous cocktails.

We have been here before and enjoyed it so I was very excited to pick this restaurant as the brunch spot for Mother’s Day. We made a reservation and arrived on time. We came in and were sat a few minutes later. Once we were sat the server gave us waters and even gave our son a new kids cup so he wouldn’t spill the glass cup. She came back about 10 minutes later to take our drink order. When they arrived my drink was wrong and missing the salt on the rim (which makes the drink) but I didn’t say anything as they seemed busy. There are about 10 tables and 6 were sat. Another table came in after us, a party of 6 and then a party of 3. After waiting about 40 minutes the server said “I’ll be right back to take your order” to the table of 6 that was sat 10-15min after us. She then proceeded to return and take their order, never once acknowledging us. Over the 45 minutes of waiting for our order to be taken we noticed only 1 waitress, 1 bartender. We tried to be very understanding of them being understaffed but once the other tables order was taken in front of us we decided to ask for the check. We asked for the check and she said ok and then returned and said she was sorry, that something happened to the cook and that they were short staffed and said the 2 drinks were on them. This was a very kind gesture but it being Mother’s Day we knew this was detrimental and we would have very limited options of where we could go next to eat. 45 minutes is a very long time for a 4 yr old to wait and it would’ve been even longer because we didn’t even place our order. Had we been notified when we sat of the issue we would’ve been a lot more understanding. I really had high hopes for this place as we loved it before but it totally ruined my Mother’s Day brunch :( we will be back but only to eat at the bar and only my husband and I (in case there is another long wait).
