Excellent and quick service. Perfect place for lunch with kids

Stale smell evident going downstairs that permeated the space. Subpar housekeeping carried to dirty water glasses. Knob Creek wasn’t as labeled. Left after appetizer.

We had to wait 15 minutes to get our table even when we made reservations. We saw a group of the same size that arrived after us being seated before us. They then took us and sat is in the bar area instead of the dining area. The food is okay. Their crab cakes were tasty, their fish and chips were ok, but I would not recommend their fried chicken sandwich.

Food was great. Thursday night- very crowded and noisy. Burger was super as were the salads. Only complaint was that a martini tasted “off” and came with no olives. But other than that we had a good experience.

Good eggs, bad salmon, brisket too tough to be called brisket. Good service

Service here is and always has been top notch. Creative cocktails, food for every taste and budget, and wonderful atmosphere make this a place I will return to again and again.

My boyfriend and I took my parents there for dinner. We sat indoors and it had a good atmosphere with lots of conversations around us. We ordered the bolognese, the chicken, the salmon and the duck. Everyone said there meal was good except the duck. That person said they wish they were warned that the duck is cooked rare and the side was minimal. Otherwise it’s a great choice for dinner.

Great service with good food

Our waitress was shy. Food was delicious and appropriate temperature. I wanted avocado toast, but it was sold out. Other items which listed avocado were also unavailable.

Our server Hillary was fantastic! Great service, lovely personality and great suggestions about the menu! Could not have been better!
