Excellent food, great service. It was busy and food was a bit slow to come out but the team was aware of it and apologized before we had to say anything. We were heading to a show so couldn’t stay for dessert but we’ll be back!

We’ve been here a number of times. It’s close to home. Has a wide choice of menu options. Food has always been good. It’s a firm favorite when we’re looking for better food in UDistrict. However, the food was particularly average this evening. Disappointing.

The new menu is great. Along with some popular, tried and true dishes, there are new choices. The charred cauliflower dish is outstanding.

We had a great waitress she was very attentive. The pepperoni pizza was delicious. We had a bottle of wine which was 50% off on Wednesdays. The leather chairs were very comfortable.

When a restaurant charges this much for a lunch, the food, service and setting need to be above average. I suspect as one of the few places with table service in the University District, they have a captive audience and can therefore set their prices higher than the value they are otherwise offering. The food was average, it took too long to arrive after ordering, and we were put at a table to bake in the sun and had to move tables and chairs ourselves over the course of the lunch to keep out of the heat. We just didn't feel as looked after as we should for the price we paid.
