    They were out of 3 things we ordered and it was impossible to get our server’s attention when we needed something. Someone else dropped off our order, someone else was kind enough to bring ketchup and another drink after we flagged them down, but - aside from seeing him talking with the bartender for 20 minutes - we didn’t see our server until he brought the check. Will never go back.

    Food was very tasty, as usual. Service was extremely poor — inattentive and certainly didn’t treat us as valued guests. Will think twice before going back.

    Salmon was excellent and so was the ahi tuna. Conversation was easily heard due to low noise levels.

    I enjoyed the lemon-lime spritzer. Got the meat loaf slider but it had mushrooms on it. The don’t like mushrooms and it was not advertised on the menu. My flatbread pizza was good. I support everything on the Plaza.

    I really wanted to like this place but the food just wasn’t up to par. Boring chicken tenders. Lukewarm soup in a very small cup with no accompanying bread or crackers. Sourdough crust that didn’t taste like sourdough. Service was fair. Free parking in the nearby parking garage. Just…meh.

    Wonderful food and great service. We eat there quite often and have always had great service. Maybe time to reupholster some of the beautiful green Booths. Great restaurant and I would advise anyone to go there.
