    ALways feels like a mixed bag, though my wife does seem to like it. Was not busy, yet we were sitting next to the hang out spot for the wait staff, so their constant conversations were in my ear. I need to learn to NOT order the fish and chips, it always disappoints. And they served it up on some wax paper or something and it is hard not to end up eating some of that. My wife enjoyed the chicken and waffles. Maybe I should try breakfast for dinner one time. Or just skip Ted's Bulletin altogether.

    The food was very good, but the service was very slow. They appear to be under-staffed.

    This was the first time we dined at Ted's Bulletin and we were very pleased! And it's in a great location, at the Mosaic park so lots of activity going on. We sat outside, weather was amazing and our server, Andre was excellent. He made our dining experience that much better. All the food was amazing and I had the best avocado toast that I have ever had. We looking forward to dining there again!

    Service was incredible. Managers and server checked in regularly but were not overbearing. Thank you for making my daughter’s 13th birthday so special.

    We went for an early dinner at 5:30pm to avoid noisy crowds. We sat at a 2 person elevated booth which.was nice and intimate. We ordered appetizers of Loaded Tots, Grilled Cornbread and Bacarian Pretzels. The loaded tots were large cubes with good flavor and some cheese & bacon, but not smothered. We liked that. The grilled cornbread was delicious with the cinnamon butter that was served with it. The pretzels were a little strange though, and tasted a little like hotdogs. The gruyere cheese for dipping didn't seem as sharp as it should have been. Gruyere cheese can be considered a "stinky cheese" with a strong flavor, but not this one. We ordered the tomato soup and a Green Goddess Salad. Both were flavorful and pleasing to eat. We each enjoyed a glass of the Brut Cava sparkling wine which had a really smooth taste and were served in a typical white wine glass rather than a champagne flute and was nicely chilled. No problem. It tasted great! This was our 3rd time at Ted's Bulletin at the Mosaic District and it was a most pleasant experience yet again. The server was attentive and we will definitely go back again and again.

    Our server was excellent! Good food, good ambience. Loved the playing of classic films from the 1930s on the big screen TV. Much better than sports!
