                                                Unfortunately I had the green goddess salad. Bad choice. I had a very upset stomach afterwards. Service however was top notch!! Fun place.

Plus it was freezing inside. Soup was cold. Salad was uninspiring. And the bill was ridiculous for what we had. Wouldn’t go back.

                                                Hi Karen! Thank you for the review! I am sorry to hear about the noise in the dining room, but happy to hear that the bar area was able to fit your vibe better. We do also have to turn the music up just a bit for our dinner crowd, you should come see us again for lunch!

                                                Terrible experience because service was so slow adm everything was incorrect. We go here every time we are downtown, at least 2x a month. Not on our plan anymore.

                                                In the past AB was very good! We had reservations for 1:15 and we were sat on time which is great! Took 20 min to get 2 beers, took 40 to get food, which was sub-par. Very disappointed!

                                                Fantastic place to eat. Great service. Food was amazing. Staff fantastic. The street noise was a bit much. But I think you could sit inside and make it even better.
