    Service was very slow. Salad dressing was heavy on the vinegar, light on flavor. Quality of food was average but portions were small. Since both of us ordered Italian dishes I asked for some bread to accompany our dinner. The waiter assisting us brought a plate with a single piece of toast. My lasagna was of average quality but the portion was very small for $27. As our waiter cleared our table my partner and I declined desert or coffee and requested our bill as be both had to work in the morning. There were few customers in the restaurant but it took over 15 minutes for the waiter to return with our bill. The pricing was way out of line with the average quality, small portions, and slow service.

    My omelette was horrible. Eggs seemed to be processed eggs. I asked for cheese and they gave me goat cheese. My mistake for not specifying but waiter mistake for not asking . My friend said the salmon was pretty good. They were out of the salmon sandwich though so she had to do a platter. No regular croissants. Which was disappointing to my friend. Our waiter was friendly but seemed new. It was just fair but I won’t be coming back.

    Surreal was surreal!!! 10 out of 10, I would highly recommend. I took my Chosen Cousin here for her birthday and we had such a great time. The food was great. The service even better. Edgar was the best server, HANDS DOWN! Perfect place for pictures and large gatherings. Parking in the garage. Some on street.

    The service was EXTREMELY slow. It took over an hour to get out coffee and drinks for brunch and after asking numerous times for it. The coffe was already cold by the time the creamer and sugar was given. Extremely bad service on a day that wasn’t even busy. It really took away from the food that was actually good.

    Food was creative, tasty and well presented in a comfortable casual environment. Crab cake is a winner. Looking forward to trying other menu items. First impression extremely positive.

    Great Restaurant but THEY DO NOT MAKE MODIFICATIONS TO CERTAIN DISHES. For example I am allergic to eggs and the chef REFUSED to remove the poached egg that is part of the fried rice that was recently added to the menu. All because of chefs preference. Mind you it is one big egg. And not several pieces...
