Its been awhile since I've been to the living room. I forgot what a fun place it is. Love the patio. Had the burrata & peppers and the gnocchi was delicious 😋

Food was mediocre at best. Portions were tiny and the sauce on the ravioli was soooo much. Very disappointed to say the least.

The food was excellent, however the kitchen seems to struggle to get all the food out at once, or even close. I think it was almost 5 minutes from when the first dish arrive at our table of 4 until the last dish was served. So that was not so good. However the servers were incredible and this off set the poor timing of the food. The staff there even took the time to track me down after we left the restaurant to let us know someone at our table left something behind. Incredible and thank you! Would definitely go back again, and this time maybe the food will all come out together.

We had a great experience here! Our waiter was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend the old fashion and asparagus risotto. Great atrium space making a comfortable outdoor seating.

Not the quality of the old “Living Room” we remember.. very disappointed about the quality of the food. The octopus carpaccio was the only highlights. The pasta came out cold and stuck together. The muscles tasted old. generally everything did not taste fresh at all and they’re usually not someone around for us to be able to ask for something to be sent back so it just ate it because we were hungry. We also often had to grab our own plate or extra cutlery from other tables instead of waiting for a server to come by. It’s really unfortunate because level of quality you should expect from this restaurant would be much higher. What happened Living Room??

Incredibly delicious food and outstanding service. Have been eating here for years and it’s been excellent throughout. The cheese fondue and the steak tar tar are particular favorites of mine. Very friendly and efficient staff.

We were there to celebrate Mother’s Day The service was not very great The starter was good but the main was below normal - I would rate OEB and broken yolk for egg bene over theirs The dessert pineapple ravioli was good but the tiramisu was very sweet
