   Restaurant was nice and food was good, but server who took our order was very rude. I asked if they had any non-alcoholic beverages, and the server grabbed the menu from me, proceeded to open the menu and pointed at non-alcoholic beverages. I kindly told him I already looked at the menu and was curious if they had any soda (for my younger sister who is not 21). He then loudly yelled that they don’t put alcohol in their sodas. I’m sure he was having a bad day, but he made a huge fuss over a simple question and didn’t answer the question.

   Went for Valentine’s day. Prefixed menu was way too much food for 1 person ($75). No reason to overcharge just to over serve. I feel like ownership did the math and said ‘we have to charge $75 per head to make a good profit on Valentine’s’ and then reverse engineered the menu to try to justify the $75 price tag. The menu had no cohesion, which made for a very disjointed meal. Either increase the quality of the ingredients at a lower size/quantity or charge less. It was moderately busy, but our waiter served all 4 courses in a row without clearing a single plate. Never experienced that at a restaurant, having almost 10 plates of food at a table for 2 without any being cleared. All in all, the food was good and the setting is great, but it’s not enough to overcome poor service, extremely high prices and being forced to be overserved. Pro tip: No one wants to leave a Valentine’s meal being overly full.

   I’ve been here before, but only for brunch and I only ever sat at the every front. I haven’t been since they opened the wine bar or for dinner. Yesterday, my husband and I went for Valentine’s Day and were sat at a communal table with another couple. Why would any restaurant think it’s ok to seat random couples together on Valentine’s Day? Also, the restaurant was packed like sardines. The tables were so close together it was very claustrophobic. The seating ruins the ambience. IF I ever go back, I’ll only get brunch at the bar. Also, service was lousy; with the automatic 18% gratuity, I see why the service effort was so low. Also, the lighting is really bad! You will only get good pics in the daytime if that’s what you’re going for.

   I was sat at a table with other people on Valentine’s Day. The other people were not a couple, not good in Valentine’s Day. The restaurant had at least 15 two seat tables open the entire time we were there. They should have filled them first

   Went to watch the Super Bowl with a group of friends and it was a great venue to catch the game. They offered drink and food specials and our server was extremely attentive.

   Great foot. Portions on the smaller side but other than that delicious and with a great ambiance. Super Instagrammable too!

   The ambiance is best thing about this place. The food and drinks were average at best, even at the reduced price for restaurant week. We also tried items off the regular menu to be sure, and weren’t impressed. To be clear, the food wasn’t bad, it just had no substance that helped it stand out.

   Went here for restaurant week and was very disappointed with the price of the menu and what portions were provided. Tiny portions for $45, and I wasn’t able to choose my own tip because they added it in there themselves. I ended up payingdouble for what I thought I was going to pay, and quite honestly, left very hungry. I would’ve been happy to pay that price had the meals been comparable in size with the price. Other than that, our waiter was lovely and the ambience is nice.

    Excellent food, ok service, ridiculously loud music for 11:00am on a Sunday. Asked them to turn it down but it's part of their "Sunday brunch experience"...so expect to have to yell at each other to have a nice Sunday morning brunch
