    Service was incredible. Most of the food was delicious, but a good portion of it was VERY salty (the salad, the brussel sprouts). Finally, there is a 20% service charge automatically added to all checks, but there is no description of what that service fee covers. It describes it on the website, but not at the table or on the bill or menu. Instead, we have to guess whether it is part of the gratuity, or goes to the serving staff, or the kitchen, etc. It's very annoying.

    Hi Christopher, We are sorry to hear about the couple dishes that were too salt. I've given this feedback to the kitchen. As far as our service fee goes, we'd be happy to provide some details. The service fee is not gratuity, but it does go to our staff. About half goes towards the staff actively on the floor during that service and the other half is taken in by the restaurant and used to pay both front of and back of house. Servers also make $16 an hour and not the tipped minimum wage. If you have any other questions- we are happy to provide further details. I believe you can respond here or use the email we have listed on our website. Thank you!

    High Street is a tasty addition to the neighborhood. Food is consistent is taste and quality. Enjoyable for dinner or lunch, the menu offers items you are familiar with with a unique twist. For example, the Kale Caesar Salad - try it! Service is attentive, booths are the most comfortable place to sit. You need a reservation, the restaurant is small in size, intimate in feel.

    Our server was top notch, friendly and attentive. She refilled water and asked abt next round of drinks often. When garlic knots were a bit late coming out she gave us a complimentary olive app. The vibe and ambiance are great and fun! My only reasons for not giving 5 stars is 1. the very short seats and benches are uncomfortable and definitely not made for tall people, which half of our party was and 2. The menu is pretty limited for main courses.
