    Don't come here for weekday lunch. It's a gorgeous space that you want to spend time in, very centrally located to lots of things, and overall lovely. The ambiance couldn't be more on point. But at least when we showed up a little after 1pm on a weekday, the only person working there was the bartender. He was welcoming, but overwhelmed and didn't have capacity to deal with the patrons at the bar and us, the only seated table in the entire place. After 20 minutes staring at our menus and watching him serve people at the bar, we finally walked up and ordered food at the bar. It was fine and came out quickly, and he was very apologetic about them being understaffed. But this isn't the relaxing table service lunch spot you ordered.

    Server only came back to us twice. Didn't have water most of our brunch and didn't receive our sodas and tea until after we were done with our meal.

    Having been here a few times before, this time it was better. From the beginning to end. Yes, we were the only ones at that particular time as we were having something to eat before the movie. Nonetheless, the hostess was welcoming and so was the server. The food was also better than the last time. From the appetizers to the main course. Better tasting, timely and we were catered to during our visit. Glad to see that it had improved all the way around.

    Great place for Fourth of July - not crowded and we were well placed for fireworks after dinner. Service was great and cocktails perfect but food just ordinary. (calamari appetizer, salads, short ribs, burger) Overall had a lovely evening but it wasn't about the food.

    Five stars for the beautiful dining room, a lovely place to catch up with friends -- though planes did drown out conversation every few minutes. The floor-to-ceiling windows and the garden views made our day. The brunch food on the otherhand, was really bad. I ordered the eggs benedict and each element was awful - the "poached" egg was cooked to hardboiled consistency, the Canadian bacon slices were two, wafer thin, 2-inch circles of hockey puck, there was a about a tablespoon of hollandaise on each half, the english muffin must have been microwaved because it was tough and chewy beyond edibility, and it was plated on a few strands of arugula that were overheated to wilted mush. It must have been prepped then sat under a heat lamp for a while. My friends had the caprese sandwhich, they were polite, but also seemed pretty "meh" about the food. Their sweet potato waffle fries looked good and they cheerfully ate them. I haven't been here in a few years. Back then it was a packed, lively place, with good food and drinks. This time, the first warning came when we arrived and the place was empty. I hope they overhaul the staff and product quality -- the location is amazing.
