    Food and service were mediocre at best. We had to ask for small plates for the starter we ordered to share, when I ordered my steak I was provided with a butter knife and had to ask for steak knife, server was absent minded, and inattentive, every one at the table agreed that the food was meh at best.

    The entire visit was lovely; from the friendly and competent greeting and seating experience; to our server MJ who kept the right level of attention and suggestions; to the great food that has just the right blend of familiarity and distinctiveness- always delicious. Great visit.

    Ordered a medium well steak - it came out medium rare with cold fries. They brought it back- didn’t wait for me to check it and walked away. It was still bleeding and no fries. Had to wait, again , quite a while to flag our server down to let them know the steak hadn’t been cooked more. He then left to get a manager and we had to wait some more. At this point, we gave up. They did remove the food - as they should have since we didn’t eat it. Between the kitchen being off and the service being poor - can’t see returning

    It was one of my employees last days before they moved and my birthday so I took them here randomly picking it off of OpenTable. Food was 10/10 we got the Brussels sprouts appetizer 8/10 , the garlic bread 11/10 appetizer which is must try it was amazing , the one app with the crunchy rice and salmon I think it was 8/10 , and the chicken tinga taquitos 10/10. For our entires we got the filet , the chicken , and one of the pastas , all 10/10. The service was 11/10, the guy that served us was extremely sweet and even surprised me with a dessert and also my employee for his going away. I would 100% be back
