   Started with cosmopolitans that tasted like sour patch kids. Carbanara Croquette was very good. Smashburger was ok French fries cold, the grilled prime New York steak was good my husband said, however it came out sliced and there were literally 3 slices. It was about 1/2 of a steak size. Amish chicken not great. The atmosphere is bland, cafeteria style. I have to say the waiter was amazing and the manager was very nice. I believe the are trying really hard. The food and surroundings just weren’t great.

   Excellent little neighborhood gem tucked into a renovated hotel. It was slow when we dined there on a Monday night, but the food and service were excellent.

   Service was awful. We waited 25 minutes for someone to come take our drink order after being seated. Our waiter maybe checked on our table 3 times the whole night. Food was very delicious however. Very disappointing, I had high hopes for this restaurant and it started out very frustrating.

   I had the vegetable lasagna and loved it - my friends had the burger and thought there were to many things going on with it

   Food was very good! Appreciated the mix of very nice entrees and also handheld sandwiches That said, the ambiance is a bit bright, 'open', and loud. Our server was okay but food timing was very off, entree coming before the salad course was complete. We also asked to split and it was not, had to ask for a plate and do it ourselves. (If you can't/won't split - say so when we order.)
