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.

Everything was amazing. The service, the food, the ambiance. I went for brunch and it couldn’t have been any better. The hollandaise on the crab Benedict was to die for and the egg was poached just right.

Best steak we have had in this area. Restaurant is beautiful!! Lucy was an amazing server!!!! Nice touch with the Birthday menu! However, since you do sell bread at this location. It would have been nice to have had some at the table. Just an idea!

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
