    First time to the Patio on Goldfinch. Nice environment and decor. Found service a little slow and they serve tepid water. I am not sure if I would go back. The food was good but not really good. Seems like they could try a little harder in my mind.

    Was at The Patio for a Saturday brunch. Had a turkey burger which was excellent and the fries were perfect -- crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside and they stayed that way. I even at some leftover cold ones in the car on the way home and they were still surprisingly good!

    Saturday brunch: Great ambiance. The indoor planters give an almost tropical feel. Excellent, helpful, very likeable servers. Perfect timing of service and entrees we would all order again. Overall, the best part of our weekend.
