    We took our Granddaughter out for her first Dinner at Eatery A. She really enjoyed and wants to bring her Brother next time. Her and her Grandmother were going to Nutcracker after Dinner. We had a great time.

    Eatery A is on my "regular dining rotation." Typically, the food, service and value is very good. On this particular visit, I had a group of five and we order several small plates - meatballs, pasta, Brussel sprouts, an arugula salad, a kebab, au gratin potatoes and mushrooms. Most of the dishes were very good, but the Brussel sprouts were bitter indicating the produce was probably old and the arugula salad with the lemon vinaigrette was too sour to eat. These are easy fixes that hopefully the chef will address. Overall, it's a great restaurant for the value.

    It was our first time atEatery A. We were greeted warmly and showed our seat immediately everyone was very friendly and kind and our waitress. Izzy, greated us within a minute of being seated and served us water immediately. She was attentive cleared the plates. Every time she came by the experience was a 10 out of 10 thank you.

    Luckily we had a reservation, it was very busy. I had the duck breast and it was delicious. Loved the blend of flavors. I also tried the drink Spirit Cleanser. Loved it! I could drink about 10 of those!

    Trying to have a business lunch. Seated in the bar area -- way too loud. Next time I will ask for a table in the dining area. Server was awesome.

    The food was fabulous, as was the wine we had. The atmosphere was busy, but very up beat. We had a great conversation with the two people at the table beside ours. A truly fun evening all around!

    The food was wonderful and we had a lovely dining experience. The food was out quickly and delivered in a good pace between courses. The drinks were good but I wish there had been more martini or fruity cocktail options. We had a snaffu with dessert and the manager and waitress immediately remedied the issue and offered beyond what I would have asked for. Incredible customer service.
