    Ordered from the Sunday chef's menu. Deviled Eggs (4)... were good and fine for a starter. Although felt they had been sitting out for a bit as the yolk was pretty dry. They brought out a surprise plate of sweet potato tots with sauce which was nice and good. Ordered Lamb Sliders (2)... which was really rather disappointed with. Meat was dry and pasty, and the slaw on them just was "meh". They ALSO came with sweet potato tots and same sauce. I was rather "totted" out. The sliders weren't any better than a local place by me that is 1/3 the price for a similar amount of food, and arguably say they were worse! The pancake ice cream dessert was unique and tasty though. That was really the highlight of the meal. Just overall was not impressed with what we received for the ~$125 paid for two people with no drinks ($48 per person + 5% Employee fund + tax and tip). I've been in past and felt like I've received much more unique and better executed food, which is what I would expect from a restaurant priced like this. Just was underwhelming for the price to be honest. Usually not one to leave feedback, but this just... yeah... needed some feedback.

    Stereo was shorting in and out in our room, made it quite difficult to communicate. Menu hasn't changed in years. There are a couple of fantastic things on the menu and a bunch of mediocre dishes.

    We had a most excellent early Mother’s Day lunch. The service great and the timing of delivery to the table was spot-on. Will be back soon to enjoy some of the menu items we missed!

    Had an incredible experience here. Met mom for mother's day and couldn't have been more delighted. Hannah, Francisco and Mondo were a joy to connect with and will definitely be back. Bison Hash is my perfect dish, with the Garden NA bev and Mom was thrilled with her Cubano. Amazing!!!

    Food was good. Not great. Felt very much like it was maybe just an off night in the kitchen. Service was ok. It was a rainy night so maybe everyone was just feeling a bit meh. I’ve been here before and loved it so will try one more time!!
