    Our server Eva was incredibly kind and accommodating. The drinks were delicious and so was the food! Such large portions, definitely worth the price. We celebrated my birthday and my menu was signed by the team. Lovely brunch with live music! Definitely recommend!!!!

    Overall food was good BUT it is on the pricey side. It’s a one time experience for me as my bill was $330 for 3 people- this does include drinks but for a restaurant that is not 3-5 star dinning that’s pretty steep. The noise level is pretty high due to open dinning and it does make it difficult to converse. I will say the staff (manager) did a great job with checking in on the food and drinks, so staff is very friendly/ attentive.

    Our server Maddy was great and we finally had a decent wedge salad and smash burger. Things were getting a little smaller for awhile with the food but last night it was back to what we always love about coming there.

    Disappointed to find upon arrival that there were no tables for our party for 4 - despite this reservation and $$ guarantee. What was surprising is that over the last 2 years we have reserved in this same manner on open table and requested the bar, and were shown to a table in the bar marked reserved each and every time until tonight. Tonight we brought guests (their first visit) so the discussion and shuffle that ended up with a table in the restaurant was inconvenient and not the service we had come to expect. Food was not as good as usual either. Loaf of bread was very over salted-for example. Change in management?

    The restaurant was extremely busy. We were seated by Annabelle (sp) and within a few minutes she showed up at our table and said that she was going to be our server. She was very professional and engaging making our lunch so much more special. Love this restaurant and their servers...oh and the food was great too!

    Smash burger was the best burger I have had in years. Service was friendly but unobtrusive and prices reasonable for a quality lunch in the days of heavy inflation.

    The food was wonderful but our service was disappointing. Our drinks took longer than expected, we were finished with our appetizers before they arrived. It was pretty obvious that our server forgot to bring them but she didn’t apologize or even acknowledge the error.

    Excellent food and even better service. A couple things. It is located in a strip mall which looks kind of strange, but once you walk inside you would never know. It’s also a bit loud and lots of echo noise. All that said, the food was delicious and service was impeccable. They also have a really cool bar area. I will absolutely visit again!

    Went with a group of women and the food was wonderful. The kitchen was happy to accommodate a few minor changes to our orders to suit dietary needs. Our waiter was fun and knowledgeable without being overbearing. We really enjoyed him. Only complaint is the noise level. Horrible. It was difficult to hear the person sitting next to you

    Our server was great! My tuna steak was ordered medium rare and arrived well done. The server promptly returned it and came back a few minutes later, saying that they could not send me another one because a 48 top had ordered the last ones. Therefore, I ate a salad for my dinner while the others at my table ate their full meals and came home to reheat chicken at my house for my dinner. Disappointing as it was my husband’s birthday. I wouldn’t discourage a friend from visiting as I do love the food but will indeed caution them to not stay for dinner on a special occasion when there are large parties being served.

    Great service, great food and the smash  burger is awesome. How can you beat a five dollar burger definitely taste like a $15 burger. I always parrot with the green goddess salad. And they always recommend fun drinks. I actually saw the desserts go buy last time I was there which the girl did asked us if we were interested and I said wow next time let me get the dessert specials first and I’ll save room.
