   This restaurant is not as good as it once was. We visited for brunch. One of us ordered the breakfast tacos, which featured overcooked steak and were just ok. The tofu bowl was better and was a good portion size. Overall, the food quality is uneven and there are better options in the area for this price point.

   The food was delicious! Our server did an excellent job of checking in with us, giving us recommendations and getting the check to us in a timely manner. The only negative was the kitchen noise…someone dropped dishes twice before we even got our food. It was very distracting, but I’m sure it was an accident. Overall everything was great and we’ll be back!!

   The food was very good! The cocktails, not what we were expecting. I would not recommend the Bloody Mary. The manager and our server were fantastic!

   The food is still pretty good but the service makes you feel like you're in a factory. This was dinner, not lunch, but I felt rushed the whole time.

   Sara thank you for bringing this to our attention; we do not want our guests to feel rushed during their visit. We will coach our team members on this and we look forward to seeing you another time.

    Serviceable, but just not very delicious. Service was entirely lackluster, from the seating host to the wait staff. Nobody who wrks there seems to be having a very good time.

    We're sorry to hear about your experience with the service and food, Gregory. Thank you for your feedback, and we'll work on improving these aspects to enhance your next visit.
