    There was a great vibe and music. Our severs were all incredibly attentive. Something happened in the kitchen so we waited 45 minutes for our food, but they really tried to compensate for the crazy wait.

    The Sawyer is a lively and fun place to dine. Service is excellent. We had the beef stroganoff, portobello mushroom on brioche bun, cheesy loaf were all made to perfection. Yum! Special shout out to the cheesy loaf— we would go back just for that. It is that good! While the room was full of energy, the entire experience was relaxing and we got to enjoy our meal and have nice conversation. Our server did a great job! And we were never rushed. We had a wonderful night. We will be back!

    Note to manager hopefully some constructive feedback : our previous visits have been great - great food, great service, but this visit on 13th March was a dud . Took an hour to get the main course , when I came the steak was flavorless, the shepherds pie was too salty, pasta dust was overcooked and too salty , staff forgot cutlery , no attentiveness during meal, serving staff complained to us about the kitchen staff (!) . Appetizer was good. I know the sawyer can do better I hope this is taken as constructive feedback. Thank you Jan Edbrooke 408 218 2508

    Hot cheesy bread was really cold. Cheese was not melted. They kept giving us prosciutto on our burrata plate even though we told them we are vegetarian twice.
