Ahi salad was great. My husband enjoyed the short ribs, and our companions loved the noodle bowl.

Had a really great birthday meal for 4 on a Thursday evening. Attentive and warm service, well prepared and flavorful entrees - a calm and happy vibe. A bit loud for my 84 year old parents, but not so bad that we couldn’t converse and they didn’t complain. We will continue to plan celebrations here!

Say at our table for 20 min without service. Someone bussing a near by table dropped waters off, but didn’t see anyone after that. Out of the 5 booths that we were seated around we didn’t see one server come through to check any of the tables. The hostess came by to take our order while saying that the food was going to take longer than normal since there were 2 large parties seated before us. We decided to leave and I’m not planning on going back there.

Wonderful service with perfect banter from our server. We had a nice chat but she didn’t linger over our table. The food was amazing! The drinks were different from what I’ve had before which was what I was looking for. We have a new date night spot!

Honestly, the way the food was written on the menu sounded better than what it all tasted like. Very disappointing and the prices are way higher than the quality of food deserves. Service was slow and there wasn't anyone in the place.

While the food was good there was nothing about the food or the overall experience that would separate this restaurant from countless other dining choices. One thing was a tremendous turn-off: The owners made a decision to add an 18.5% mandatory "tip" to every check. I often tip above 20% for better than average service but I don't like to be forced to pay a tip that has been pre-decided by someone other than the customers. This feels like a political statement. Socialist values over free-market values. The owners are free to make this choice but that same choice has been taken away from their guests. So our choice is to eat somewhere else.

The menu is average; options a bit limited. Fried pickles were delicious, happy hour prices were good. Disappointed in receiving completely wrong order (ordered caesar salad with salmon; brought out ahi tuna salad and tried to tell me it was salmon). Finally received correct order, but many of the ingredients listed on menu were not included on the salad. Love the idea of gratuity being added; but wonder if that affects quality of service in the negative? Overall -- completely fine experience, underwhelmed.

Food was pretty good but the kitchen was slow and although our server was great, the management was poor. Our meal took 1.5 hrs! We had the fondue (eh), fried pickles (GOOD), poutine burger (just ok), and the turkey sliders (would order again although it was HUGE). The kids’ meals came out last (even though our server put it in as an app) and we didn’t receive the kids’ meal veggies. The kids’ plain pasta and butter came out with burnt noodles tasting of a greasy pan and chunks of cold butter I had to mix in myself!! They also add an automatic 18% service charge, which was fine with me, but they don’t actually let you tip extra on the credit card, which is too bad for the waitstaff.
