Customer Reviews
We came here for the Valentine’s Day dinner. While the atmosphere was nice, there were several things that missed the mark. My husband and I are big foodies — we enjoy fine dining and love trying new places — so we were really looking forward to this experience. Our waitress started off friendly, but once it was time for a second drink, she disappeared. She rarely checked on us unless we had finished a course, which made the service feel inattentive. The menu advertised the dinner as $79, so the additional $20 upcharge for a filet felt excessive and not clearly communicated. We’ve eaten at many upscale restaurants and found this surprising, especially given the overall experience. Unfortunately, both of our main courses arrived cold. I had the pork, which was cold and dry, and overall t
Fantastic valentines dinner. The service was great and the meal was well worth it. The only negative was the dessert- the cheesecake was not my favorite.
I'm gluten, dairy and soy free. I was passing thru and found a review from someone qith Celiac. I thought, this is definitely a place to try. I'm a foodie at heart. I had the grilled chicken sandwich on GF bread, with aioli, goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes and fries. I enjoyed the meal, Crystal's service and attention to detail(I missed that the sandwich came with provolone, but she caught it). Parking was a breeze and they weren't very busy when I came in at 1. I'll be back. Prices aren't bad either. I'll definitely be back. I had confidence that I would not get inadvertently glutened or have stray dairy in my good. I can eat goat's cheese for whatever reason.
Oddly enough, just read a one-star review of the same meal I just had. I went with the fixed price lunch option for $25. It was hard to choose, but I decided on the Pan Fried Dumplings appetizer to start. The three dumplings (ate one before taking a picture) were incredible and fresh, each ingredient worked well together but also stood out. The main course and side was the half Rueben sandwich & salad. The pastrami was DELIGHTFUL, the bread was clearly high quality, the sauerkraut was well-portioned, and the sauce was outstanding. Easily one of the best Ruebens I have ever had! And the side salad was delightful with crisp bibb lettuce, delightfully pickled and fresh veggies, and a lightly tart dressing that wasn’t overwhelming the quality vegetables and greens. Even the pickle on the side
I was really looking forward to our lunch with a large group, but honestly, my experience left a lot to be desired. When calling to make a reservation for many people, we were told that the credit card on file would be charged $25 per person for any no-shows. The reason given by management being “you’re taking up tables that others could be using”. True. However, our party of 12 (who all showed up) found two diners there when we arrived, and no more than a few others during the two+ hours we were there. We certainly did not take use of tables that otherwise would have been occupied. You are welcome for our patronage since I am sure we more than doubled revenue for your “lunch rush”. It would have been much better to frame things positively. A $25 deposit toward our meals would have covered
