   It was Mother's Day afternoon. Only 1 server on the floor. There was a party of 23 - 30, plus our party of 3. Within 30 minutes there were 2 tables of 2 and several tables of 3-4. The server did an amazing job, but still waited longer then we should have. The bartender made drinks with missing ingredients. The Lemon Drops tasted like straight vodka with a sugar rim and lemon slice.

   All the food was cold and picked over. We hardly ate any of it because it was gross.

   Service was terrible. The servers were chatting amongst each other at the hostess area while our group waited for over ten minutes after being seated for our drink order. My water glass was empty for most of my brunch. Food was set up outdoors, flies landing on exposed food items including fruit, pastries, and deserts. Food was not fresh. I brought up the issues up with our server as i tapped a rock hard ricotta pancake on the table. The only recourse offered was to microwave it, which did not help. These are examples of the service, food quality, and overall experience. A terrible experience and terrible value at $75 per person.

   We went for the mother's day brunch. They charged $70pp and that price did not include drinks. The "buffet" was no better than a motel 6 continental breakfast. The sausage and bacon were cold, there was no syrup for the pancakes, the muffins were pre-bought and hard, and who honestly wants swordfish and mashed potatoes for breakfast?????

   Mothers Day brunch was set up nicely with lots of tasty options. Service was nice. Only thing that I think needs work is staff and patrons were trying to get through same door at same time and there were a few near collisions. Buffet was set up on patio between bar area and detached kitchen. So large busing bins were being carried in and out while patrons were walking out to patio and while patrons were carrying in their loaded plates. Nose level high because of airplanes and cloud cover made it worse. Other than that it was perfect.

   I was very disappointed in this years easter brunch. We went there last year and the overall experience was better. First the food was just ok. we waited 20 minutes for bacon a staple burch item. Second the kid’s activities where lacking unlike last year. The egg hunt was suspicious as the two coveted “golden eggs” where found by baby’s being held by moms very disappointed to all the kids. Over all not worth the $340 for a family of 4

   Party of 5 to celebrate two birthdays. Food was ok. Chicken schnitzel sides were inadequate and the fish was overall dry and lacking flavor. Would recommend adding something more flavorful and saucy or moist instead of boring mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. We ran out of water and no servers in sight to help with refills. Server was kind enough to place our candles on the desserts.

    Our waiter, Max, provided excellent service and the ambience was nice. Our table was in a great location. My Aperol Spritz was watered down for $15. My $24 cobb salad was mostly romaine lettuce with one egg and one quarter of avocado and very little chicken which was supposed to be "grilled" but seemed as though it was microwaved. I will not be returning.

    I have never had a negative thing to say about The Lot. This time it was bad, from the food to how dirty the floor was under the table. The salad my wife had was terrible, but the Salmon on the salad was good. I had the flat bread pizza and it tasted like frozen pizza. We had lunch and a movie on 2/25. So because the food quality was bad, we let's have popcorn. I have to tell you, the popcorn was cold had no butter. The movie was good, so we did enjoy the movie. My wife and I loved coming here for dinner and movie, we have to find a new venue now.

    It’s a very chill restaurant, somewhere in Liberty Station that isn’t so crowded. It was open seating and we didn’t even have to use our reservation, the coffee was delicious and the restaurant is cute.

    Got the pri fix menu for valentine's day and the food was overcooked and underwhelming. Probably just come back for drinks instead of food next time.

    The food and service were excellent from beginning to end. We liked the Valentine Dinner! The live music was enjoyable, but sufficiently loud that we were not able to have a conversation during dinner. The musicians were very talented, but the overall volume needed to be turned down just a bit. We would definitely return for a meal in the future.

    We didn't know it was a movie restaurant Food tasted like fro,en & reheated. The wait person was very nice but soooo slow. Restaurant minded me of THIF or Red Robin when they were around. Food choices were snacks, not really meals. Over $ 100 for a few drinks & 2 appetizers. Don't waste your time or money

    Open feel of the restaurant is great, the enormous inescapable screen with loud sports is not great. Food was very good, service was friendly but absent-minded. A bit pricey, but everything is expensive these days. Overall good place to eat if you are planning to see a movie there afterwards, but I would not go just for the restaurant.

    The food and drinks were good, however after the bottom of my friend’s drink fell off and her drink spilled all over her pants, the manager only comped the drink off the bill. No apology, no empathy, no attempt to check in with her. After we paid the bill, I told the manager that simply taking that drink off the bill was not enough. She offered to pay for a dry cleaning bill- but she didn’t need dry cleaning, her pants were soaked. When I told her that her that she didn’t need dry cleaning, the manager sarcastically said to me, “I’m sorry I don’t have a pair of pants for your friend!” I could not believe how we were treated. They clearly don’t give a damn about customers or their experience.

    The service was great! The food…not so great. For example the vegetables from the hummus platter were soggy. The Caesar salad was the worst. The dressing was like a glob of mayonnaise.

    This restaurant was not as i expected, the food is not good. The food has no good flavor. The waitress got our order wrong. In the end it took them 30 min to bring us our checks. It looks like a nice restaurant but the price of the food is not worth it.

    Lovely setting and ambiance but the quality of the food was horrendous. Chicken dishes were rubbery, color of the chicken was grey and the fry was too dark which implies stale oil or a callous chef. The burger order was wrong and was initially served raw. Pasta sauce tasted as if it came from a can. This restaurant gives the impression of sophistication in their menu and instead deliver elementary dishes with low quality ingredients. I recommend skipping.

    Worst experience ever: we were given a paper with 4 stations , a tiny hors-d'œuvre in each station with 1 OZ of wine to pair with it. NO revisiting your favorite wine unless you buy a Baja bottle +$55. Highway robbery. Cheers wine 🥂 😔 Fool me once shame on you, fool twice...

    This was a wine tasting event with appetizers. Most of them were pretty good, tacos were a bit bland and no plates were offered for the oysters. The staff was pretty pushing about trying to get additional drink and food orders on top of the $50 price tag...
