I created a 2:00 pm reservation, but the restaurant was closed at 2:00. one of the employees, Jorge, talked to the kitchen and came back and said they could seat us, but they were closed. we didn't want to be a problem so we went to a different restaurant

A pretty cool place with old items from the courthouse weaved into the decor. Jorge our server was super cool. I had the chicken and waffles which was unique but just ok. My friends had more traditional brunch items and liked their dishes. I would go back for dinner and the ambience.

I used to come here often (different concept) and really liked it - this weekI brought some business guests for lunch, The server took our glasses back from the table one by one to fill. Admitted he forgot to enter the appetizer so it came after entrees. The curry vegetable bowl - curry was nice but cauliflower broccoli snap peas were steamed or microwaved and so boring for $30. The food was fine, not great. Then the bill for 3 came 150 for 3 entrees, 1 appetizer-no alcohol 2teas and a water. He didn’t give me an itemized bill and I was sure it was wrong, so embarrassingly had to request it. Such a beautiful and great location. Real bummer.

We had the thanksgiving meal special menu there and was pleasantly surprised. The turkey was delicious and juicy. Great flavor. The ambience was nice, I would have liked it to be a little more dim to give it a little more of an elevated fine dining look, but it was not a deal breaker. The service was fine, a little slow for it not being crowded, but I honestly looked past that considering it was thanksgiving day and they may not have been fully staffed. Our server was good and she had a great personality. The Bartender was also very nice and turned what would have been a standard vodka club soda into something with more flavor without breaking the bank. Overall, it was a very good experience. I would like to go back again on a regular night.

It’s not as upscale as their website portrays and they don’t have a bar during brunch

Chicken crouquettes were very tasty. Different but nice presentation. The same goes for the shrimp ceviche. We were overcharged $8 for a bottle of wine. I caught this before the bill was paid and the waiter response was "I just push the buttons to place the order".

Worst food had in my life couldn’t eat and wouldn’t eat anything there ever again. The server was good and very nice but the food tasted horrible. Left everything intact it was that bad. Super expensive for how bad the food was. We left it almost ruin our anniversary dinner. Left to another restaurant.

We expected a more sophisticated ambience given the location but it was somewhat dull. Service was pleasant and accommodating but it seemed like staff were mostly absent. Food was tasty but uninspiring.
