    We very much enjoyed our visit to this restaurant. While it is an easy pick due to proximity if you are seeing a movie onsite, we were terribly surprised by how good the food was on this visit. The wine selection is always solid (and the markup is reasonable), but the food was much better than we would have expected. The truffle fries were spot on and our Mediterranean salad was fresh and crisp and dressing was excellent. My gouda mac-n-cheese was good, but not not great. Our server, Paul, was considerate and attentive. Perfect date night. Terribly convenient, nice open-air design, and solid food and wine. Much better than one would expect from a cinema restaurant.

    I want to give you good and honest feedback. We live in the area and would love to come more often. We tried dinner again last night since you had live music. The service is terrible. My husband had to get up 3 times. The first time to order our food. The second time to get us utensils and a third time to get salt and pepper since we had asked for it 2 times and never got it. Please hire more staff!!!! We have the same problem each time we come.

    This was to be dinner with two of my girlfriends, before going to see the Barbie movie. We arrived 2.5 hrs prior to the show and we’re seated right away.  The server came over and took our drink order along with one appetizer…but after that we hardly saw him. When he did come over, he said he was extremely busy on the other side of the restaurant. We were in the main indoor area, with hardly anyone around. We didn’t end up ordering dinner, only appetizers, because we would have missed the start of the show. Very disappointing.

    It was Mother's Day afternoon. Only 1 server on the floor. There was a party of 23 - 30, plus our party of 3. Within 30 minutes there were 2 tables of 2 and several tables of 3-4. The server did an amazing job, but still waited longer then we should have. The bartender made drinks with missing ingredients. The Lemon Drops tasted like straight vodka with a sugar rim and lemon slice.

    Service was terrible. The servers were chatting amongst each other at the hostess area while our group waited for over ten minutes after being seated for our drink order. My water glass was empty for most of my brunch. Food was set up outdoors, flies landing on exposed food items including fruit, pastries, and deserts. Food was not fresh. I brought up the issues up with our server as i tapped a rock hard ricotta pancake on the table. The only recourse offered was to microwave it, which did not help. These are examples of the service, food quality, and overall experience. A terrible experience and terrible value at $75 per person.

    We went for the mother's day brunch. They charged $70pp and that price did not include drinks. The "buffet" was no better than a motel 6 continental breakfast. The sausage and bacon were cold, there was no syrup for the pancakes, the muffins were pre-bought and hard, and who honestly wants swordfish and mashed potatoes for breakfast?????

    Mothers Day brunch was set up nicely with lots of tasty options. Service was nice. Only thing that I think needs work is staff and patrons were trying to get through same door at same time and there were a few near collisions. Buffet was set up on patio between bar area and detached kitchen. So large busing bins were being carried in and out while patrons were walking out to patio and while patrons were carrying in their loaded plates. Nose level high because of airplanes and cloud cover made it worse. Other than that it was perfect.

    I was very disappointed in this years easter brunch. We went there last year and the overall experience was better. First the food was just ok. we waited 20 minutes for bacon a staple burch item. Second the kid’s activities where lacking unlike last year. The egg hunt was suspicious as the two coveted “golden eggs” where found by baby’s being held by moms very disappointed to all the kids. Over all not worth the $340 for a family of 4

    Party of 5 to celebrate two birthdays. Food was ok. Chicken schnitzel sides were inadequate and the fish was overall dry and lacking flavor. Would recommend adding something more flavorful and saucy or moist instead of boring mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. We ran out of water and no servers in sight to help with refills. Server was kind enough to place our candles on the desserts.

    Our waiter, Max, provided excellent service and the ambience was nice. Our table was in a great location. My Aperol Spritz was watered down for $15. My $24 cobb salad was mostly romaine lettuce with one egg and one quarter of avocado and very little chicken which was supposed to be "grilled" but seemed as though it was microwaved. I will not be returning.

    I have never had a negative thing to say about The Lot. This time it was bad, from the food to how dirty the floor was under the table. The salad my wife had was terrible, but the Salmon on the salad was good. I had the flat bread pizza and it tasted like frozen pizza. We had lunch and a movie on 2/25. So because the food quality was bad, we let's have popcorn. I have to tell you, the popcorn was cold had no butter. The movie was good, so we did enjoy the movie. My wife and I loved coming here for dinner and movie, we have to find a new venue now.

    The food and service were excellent from beginning to end. We liked the Valentine Dinner! The live music was enjoyable, but sufficiently loud that we were not able to have a conversation during dinner. The musicians were very talented, but the overall volume needed to be turned down just a bit. We would definitely return for a meal in the future.
