The cocktails were all prepared really well, the relish tray was the perfect amount for the 5 of us, and our brunch dishes (3 Benedicts, a brisket hash, and the omlette) were all delicious. Catherine took care of us and shifted her position when she noticed that my dad couldn't hear her. That's a level of attention that many don't have (people, let alone busy servers)!

12/17/24: Our server was attentive and friendly and we tipped him well; the art deco decor was lovely; overall staff were friendly and courteous; wine selections/recommendations were fair - a little disappointing; scallops were cooked perfectly but were gritty. They did pair nicely with crisp kale garnish, slightly spicy corn pudding and serrano ham; beet salad was delicious and a bit spicy as well. Main downside was the cavernous space and very raucous Christmas parties that greatly spoiled the elegant Christmas atmosphere I expected for the price and location. Parties of the size and loudness experienced this evening were a bummer. I was looking forward to an intimate setting with my oldest and dearest friend in the world, where we could chat and enjoy each other’s company over great drinks and food. The Bottle Works District should expect a better level of quality and experience than the one we experienced this evening. This restaurant is not designed to accommodate large parties and intimate settings in the same space. Sadly, I’ll check this restaurant off my list of favs.
