   The Valentines Day menu was a limited menu with 3 dinner options and 2 dessert options. The Steak was cold, the potatoes were overdone and dry, the chicken was dry. When the check comes out for over 120 dollars, you would expect the food to be good, it was not. Also, wish we knew they were doing a limited menu, we chose co-op for their large menu and many appetizers to choose from.

   Save your time and money, there are better options in Lubbock for both casual cocktails and fine dining. The quality of the food does not justify the price, the level of service does not match the value proposition, and the cocktails are dive bar quality at best. Went for Valentine's Day dinner and left incredibly disappointed. Website and reservation indicate <~$30 menu, with a few exceptions. Social media, reservation page, and confirmation email gave no indication of a menu change for the holiday. The normal menu was completely scrapped for a choice of 3 entrees and 3 cocktails, chicken, salmon, or steak ranging from $40-$60, no appetizers, no full bar menu. Menu items were taken from the normal dinner menu with a 60-70% upcharge for the "Valentine's" menu ($28->$40/45, $38->$60!) for the same exact food. Was sat immediately despite being early for our reservation but the good service ended there. Had our drink orders taken and given a plastic diner basket of cold rolls. Drinks were very underwhelming, especially for a "signature cocktail" bar. After 15 minutes with our drinks the waitress took our food orders. Our salads came with plastic disposable dressing cups in the bowls, not a big deal but definitely annoying for a $45+ dinner. Food came quickly, which was expected for only having 3 menu items available. The steak was cooked perfectly, but was largely flavorless, the fingerling potatoes were simultaneously overcooked and leathery and starchy, the asparagus was whelming. The salmon was very good but was not served with risotto, it instead came on a bed of cold, sticky white rice. We were checked on once after our food came to ask if we were ready for the check. We had to clear our own dishes as food came. Super disappointing for $150 date night.

   This place has a rustic vibe to it. Although it was very weird and uncomfortable there. Food was very overpriced and was honestly bellow mid. I dont feel that it is for the younger college folk and is for older people as there were a lot there that day. I wish we did not go here for valentines day and went to the Brazilian Steak house instead.

   They went for quantity over quality- we sat down and within 15 min we had gotten our drinks, bread, salad, and food. I swear when we ordered it didn’t take but 3 min and the food was warm bc they were premade and they didn’t clarify that there was gonna be a Valentine’s Day menu. Overall I was very disappointed

   Was told that they actually don’t take reservations from Opem Table and You have to call them For reservations. They had no tables so we sat at the bar. Cocktails were terrible, service was incredibly slow, they were out of several menu options on a menu that only has a handful of items. They entrees weren’t good at all and we barely ate them. The appetizer we ordered was good and they took it off the bill but also charged us for 3 entrees instead of 2. This was my second time here. The first time last year it was amazing. The staff seemed really overwhelmed and didn’t act like they wanted to serve us. I had to ask for plates and ask for silverware, and ask for menus. Doubt I’ll ever return here.

   Awful. 2 hours no food. Had to ask repeatedly for water and then never got refilled. Drinks were okay but took forever to get. After getting hangry we finally cancelled our order and left. First time we were here it was great. Brought friends for their first time and they will never be back.

   Service was absolutely horrible. They had no wine selection, the wines that they did have were old and tasted horrible. It took forever to get drinks. I believe they had one bartender and one waitress working the whole restaurant that evening.

   Food was delicious! The hummus is so flavorful! Doesn't taste so typical. The pork chop was cooked to leave a faint pink, very, very moist and a delicious crust. Veggies were also well pan roasted with good color and flavor.

    Sadly a place that has had great food but today the service and food was subpar. The food was cold as if it has been sitting ready for a while. It took over 15 mins for someone to come acknowledge our table. Plenty of staff at the bar to run food or help with waiting tables. I will try again but FOH management really dropped the ball today, on graduation weekend at that!
