    A bit on the pricey side, but always fantastic food. It’s tough to find a better burger in Milwaukee.

    Our server seemed like she had a lot of other tasks to tend to in addition to caring for the people at her tables, so there were long pauses between the things a server usually does. We were over half done with our food before she asked if the food was tasting good. We were long finished when I was about to get up to ask for our bill. She came out of the kitchen carrying a tall stack of drinking glasses.

    The food was inventive and well prepared. They acknowledged the reason I booked the reservation and made it special for me and my two sons. Our server, Leah, was also special and mature beyond her years. She embodied the name of the restaurant even though she was modest about her social skills. Many servers today do not know how to converse with guests and it was a pleasant surprise to enjoy the interaction. I hope I spelled her name correctly.

    We had wings as an appetizer and they were the highlight of the meal - but they weren't great - just decent wings. I had the Salmon Bowl. The vegetables (edamame, cauliflower, avocado, cucumbers) and rice basically had no flavor. I don't think there was any seasoning on any of it (including salt and pepper). The salmon itself was fine but a tad overcooked and the "sauce" on the salmon was very sparse. I asked for some soy sauce which made it better but it still wasn't great. My husband had the chicken Caesar wrap which was mostly lettuce and not very good either. We were disappointed and probably won't go back.

    Worst birthday dinner I’ve had in my life. Food does NOT look like the social media videos…fair I guess- but it doesn’t even look like the pictures on the website???? The chicken sandwich was tiny…and for 21 dollars??? Pictures had two fried chicken patties and came with one for starters (wish I could include photos..) Whole tables food was mediocre, missing ingredients, and vodka pasta was bad. Booked with note that it was my birthday and staff was not attentive nor did anything special. Which is fine til they added a service fee. This might be my second time reviewing a restaurant because yah. It was that bad. Wish I could get another chance to do my birthday somewhere else.

    Decent variety to choose from for meals and drinks. Very loud atmosphere. They add 3% surcharge to bill to offset rise in costs, but you can ask to have that removed. Never heard that can be given as an option. I would just bump up the prices on menu. Hate seeing that as a line item.
