"Food was really good. I had the stuffed salmon and others had steak and chicken Marsala. Cocktails and desserts were also good. Love the gluten free options!!! I put noise higher because upstairs is small quarters and we could hear all of neighbors conversation, but they were also loud talkers. The best part was our waiter, Jeff! He was fantastic, very attentive, and funny. I’d definitely recommend this place to friends."

"Very disappointed with the establishment. We had high hopes, the reviews were all great, and every time we drive by the place is packed. Came on a Saturday night, around 10p. 4 people in our group. Sat ourselves, and after 10 minutes of sitting thought maybe we were supposed to be seated by someone. So we wait by the table by the front door for 4-5 minutes. The server who approached us told us to seat ourselves, so we went and sat at a different table than we did the first time. We sat there another 7-8 minutes with no greeting. Once our server came over, she gave us menus then ran off. Another 5-6 minutes go by and she asks what we want to drink, and if we are ready to order food. We go ahead and order both. Our appetizer comes out in less than 10 mins, that's great. About 10 minutes after that, our food comes out, that's also great. However, we have yet to receive any of our drinks. No waters, none of our bar drinks. I ask the guy that delivered our food if we could get some waters. About 6 minutes later, our server brings one person's drink (a pitcher of beer). Another 2-3 minutes, and we get the rest. My drink is wrong, but at this point I don't even care. Our checks were incorrect and had to be adjusted (price wise, not items). Overall food was 9/10, but service was so poor it ruined our night. The place had several open tables, and 3-4 servers, so there is no way things should have taken as long as they did. However, we will be trying this place again, in hopes we just had a bad experience."

"I would have given a 5 star review if these two things didn't happen. Be that I worked in the industry for way to long, one of my pet peeves is tableside cleanliness. Grim on our table was almost unexceptional. Really need to strip down and sand the table tops and re-laquer them, anything would be better. Lastly, no kids menu. Really? Other than those it was worth the 40 minute drive to try out for the 1st time."

"I love this place...except during the summer when it slammed with tourists, but that's a first-world problem. My go-to breakfast is the Eggs Benedict Crepe with the potato wedge. I ordered it by accident the first time because I didn't see the crepe part. I'm not sure I will ever have anything else there for breakfast. It's an excellent balance of the sweetness of the crepe with the savory of the ham, and the great taste of sharp cheddar cheese with potatoes for the potato wedge. Actually it's making me hungry just thinking about it. They also have coffee from Serranos, which is nice. It's also a great place to hang out and have lunch outside this time of year before it gets too cold. Especially if you have time to have a beer with it and take a nap ."

"This is a restaurant that used to be great, is trying to keep up, but just isn't making it. There's some renovation being done, but you can tell things are falling apart. The food was ok, but not spectacular. The menu used to be much bigger, though maybe it's because it was a lunch menu. The cheese sauce for the queso and pita was grainy, though it tasted fine. The cheeseburger was cooked to the ordered medium doneness, but it was flame broiled and otherwise not much seasoning. Someone described it as fancy Burger King. The French dip sandwich was the best choice, consisting of shredded beef topped with melted cheese on a hoagie bun. The au jus was good, not too salty, not too bland, served in a wide bowl for easy dipping. The fries were pretty good; crispy, topped with salt and pepper. Overall, it was ok, but not the fancy place they are trying to make it seem like."
