   Our reservation was for 8:30, we unfortunately weren’t able to be seated until 9:30. The staff was super friendly and they communicated very well. The food was excellent and our server was prompt. It was my first time visiting the restaurant, and I will be returning.

   The food and cocktails were great!! Great variety. It was just a busy night and the kitchen was very slow.

   Will definitely try this restaurant again. Loved the vibe, server and food; however, we were seated 20 min past our reservation. It felt as if they were way overbooked for a Saturday night. Everyone waiting received a free pretzel fondue appetizer. We ordered one, and it was so late in coming out that a manager came over and told us he was comping it. (We never said that we already had a free coupon for it.). Food and drinks were reasonably priced.

   My sister and I came for restaurant week. Overall it was good, but not the best I ever had. The portion sizes for the price of the menu they were offering were definitely worth it though because they were huge.

   I got the Queen's Feast meal. The pretzel/fondue appetizer was good. He banana desert was terrific. The fried chicken was over cooked and bland. I would have expected a place of this caliber to have something on the special menu that wasn't fried. Overall, it was disappointing. I expected more.

   Great spot, easy parking in the building. Servers were very attentive and had a great energy. We had a very fun lunch, both had the chopped chicken salad which was good, a bit heavy on the dressing, but fresh and lots of avocado which we both enjoyed.

   Was happy with the service but extremely disappointed with the fact they were out of so many things on a weekend. The Cap ribeye and pizza dough (for pizzas) was unavailable???? I’m not sure what happened but that was unfortunate and unexpected.

    The food was great in taste, but as long as we waited it should have been hot. It was lukewarm. Our waitress never came to check on us, I had to flag her down each time to request refills and other items. Overall it was a good experience
