    I've gotten better customer service at McDonalds. The food and ambiance were great, but I did not feel comfortable or welcome. Upon entry I did not see a host or hostess and was basically told I could sit anywhere, but other customers were escorted to their tables. Two groups arrived after I had, yet they were waited on before I was, and none of the servers spoke to me at all during my 30 minute wait. They looked at me and saw I had NOT been serviced or even acknowledged, but no one actually served me after 30 minutes of waiting. If you are a person of color, unfortunately you will not be treated with the same regard and attentiveness as other customers. That was my experience.

    A great choice for a pre theater dinner. The seared salmon with the red rice is a personal favorite. There was a private party there the night we visited, so it was a bit noisier than we have experienced in the past, but it was not overwhelming. Every employee we came in contact with was friendly and considerate. We had a wonderful meal and left with plenty of time to make a 7:30 curtain at The Alley!

    It’s been a couple years since I had last been to the restaurant and it has really gone down hill. Didn’t enjoy the syrupy pop music (Katie Perry California gurls, etc.) that played loudly. Featured wine menu looked like a website from 1993. The two entrees we ordered were disappointing. I went home and ate leftovers.

    Ambience seems a little outdated. Food was good and our waitress was very friendly. The restaurant was not even 50% full and they wouldn’t let us sit until 90% of the members of our table were at the resultant. I understand that policy if the restaurant was busy but again it was not busy at all. The girl at the entrance was a little difficult in regards to that.

    Took my son here for a mother son brunch date & he said it was “amazing”. The food was good. The mimosa was good too. I had the French toast & fried chicken. I am not a big French toast fan, however it was pretty good. My son loves French toast though. Would definitely come back to visit to try out some other menu items & cocktails. It was pretty noisy but the ambiance was cool. Our waiter was tentative but he didn’t introduce himself. Still tipped him though lol

    Two of us went for lunch today. It was ok but nothing to write home about. My friend had salmon with a salad and I had the beef rib sandwich. Neither of us was particularly thrilled with our meal- mine was boring. Our waitress was quite pleasant and attentive initially but then didn’t come back to check if we wanted additional drinks or after- lunch coffees either, just brought us the bill. She did however recommend a good cocktail for me after checking that it was not too sweet. The restaurant is nice enough but we were both unfamiliar with that part of town. The resto is not noisy and so easy to talk and hear each other but there wasn’t a buzz

    Pleasant place for a business lunch. Easy parking. Pricy (Burger, fries, and water ran almost $20). I had a burger and fries. Regrettably, the fries were OK but unexceptional and the server dropped a few of them off the plate onto the table/floor. I asked for a rare burger and it was served medium/well at best. 3 others dining with me reported better experience. Frankly, I was disappointed. I should have sent the burger back but I don't like doing that and it would have messed up my colleagues' lunch.

    Service was abysmal. Served wrong bottle of wine, no contact with waiter 45 minutes after taking order (with no cocktails or wine brought in the meantime) Lamb way overdone, other food cold by the time it arrived. This used to be our go to place when in the museum district for good casual and while they have missed on a few prior occasions, we went back. This is our last visit for dinner. Serve was completely clueless.

    A good variety of food, all of it delicious! Highly recommend the roasted carrot pizza (Guy Fieri approved) and chilaquiles. A good variety of drinks and coffee too! I really love the bakery at the front of the restaurant, they serve some of the best carrot cake I’ve ever tried.

    The overall experience was great. My friends and I enjoyed the atmosphere. The Sunday brunch menu wasn’t as great. There weren’t a lot of options which myself and my friends found very hard to choose from. I had the smoked salmon, but I wasn’t a fan. Would have loved if they offered the lunch menu for more options. I will probably try again on a different day.

    Pappardelle pasta and lamb rack were good. Cocktails were good too. Waiter was friendly, maybe a little too friendly, very effusive and giving a lot of details on his personal life. We were good with it though. The restaurant has an odd ambiance. I guess it doubles as a bakery of some sort, had a grab and go feel at the front. Didn’t feel like fine dining. Good overall though.
