    Food was very average. Brussels sprouts were overdone and oily rather than crispy. Fries were soggy and there was no discernible truffle flavor. Disappointing because ambience and service were solid.

    All of the food was wonderful! We started with the Yuzu pancakes as an appetizer for the table and I would recommend this to everyone! All of our drinks were very good, including the Mockingbird for the kids.

    What a great experience to kick off the new year! Our first visit - loved the food and service and most especially Gui, the mixologist where his passion for the kraft really shows up in the cocktail. Drinks were beyond creative and were some of the best we’ve had! Thanks for a great NYE! We will definitely be back!

    Food was mediocre and overpriced. Came out at very uneven temperatures. French fries ware partially undercooked. Service was a bit discombobulated. Nice beer selection.

    Our cocktails were delicious. Most of their food a solid miss! Gnocchi needed to be cooked longer. The burger wasn’t cooked throughly. The Bangkok sandwich was on super dry stale bread. The chicken was very good. Deviled eggs were also good. Waitress never cleared off our dirty dishes after we finished eating, restaurant was not very busy and the majority of the tables were empty and still had previous customers dirty dishes on them. Makes me wonder about the cleanliness of the restaurant in general. Will not return. Will not return.

    This was by far the most disappointing experience I’ve had at a high-end restaurant. When we asked the server about the types of cheese on the cheese board, he admitted he wasn’t sure and showed no willingness to find out for us. When the cheese board finally arrived, which by the way was the same time as our entrees which made it unappealing, no explanation was provided about the cheeses, and the portion of honey was so small it was barely usable. The next issue was the $28 gnocchi, which were the worst I’ve ever tasted. I have never sent food back, but these were so bad I felt I had no choice. The salad which was served as a replacement was also awful, consisting of a Mexican style chicken with a kale fruit salad. To make matters worse, the burger was of lower quality than something you’d find at a fast-food chain. Honestly, I wouldn’t even serve their food to my dog. And, when we left, who I assume was the manager insisted we stayed till 7 for the live mic karaoke, which I doubt would make up for the poor service and terrible, gut wrenching food.
