    Our waiter was not attentive, took way too long to check on the table, barely spoke to us or offered recommendation. Our desserts took 30 minutes, we had to remind him that we placed the order.

    Had a reservation (made with Opentable) for the piano bar that wasn’t honored. Had to settle for walk-in dining but should’ve just gone somewhere else.

    The atmosphere and history is incredible. I bet the bar and whisky room would be a fun date night. The food was not great and took over an hour to arrive after ordering; maybe the worst flatbread I’ve ever had in my life. The server was very minimally engaged. Not rude but for a $200 bill I’d expect more than just a short hello and order taking. Go for the ambience and some drinks and apps.

    Excellent food. The service was a bit slower than we are used to, but that could have been due to the overall ambiance. I highly recommend.

    What a fantastic spot! We ended up in the back bar to watch college football at the bar and I enjoyed hearing the Jazz music from the Independence Bar thru the hallway. Beautifully decorated for the holidays, the food is good and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Food came fast and the wine list is great!
