    Ambiance is good. Well-lit, colorful restaurant. Lasagna was served cold. We requested no sauce on sandwich but it was served with sauce. The restaurant was not busy at all on a Saturday night.

    An interesting restaurant with a unique menu. Prices are reasonable including wine. The pizza and meatloaf were good. However, We were disappointed that six items including three entrees were not available.

    I usually enjoy two food kitchen. That is why I suggested it to my friend to have brunch however it was not the best experience our reservation was for 10 so maybe because it was just opening the waitress seem to be a little overwhelmed but nice she was forgetting things. Something was going on with the grill. They had a hard time with my pancake and I found hair in my food as well as the coffee which I pointed out and they did comp the pancake, but not the meal. It was just disappointing and not the usual so I’m not sure what’s going on

    Our waiter was very kind, but he was clearly overworked. He was one of only two waiters in the entire restaurant. We sat down at 5:30 and ordered two drinks and an appetizer first. It took about 15 minutes for the app to arrive and another five minutes for the drinks. We then ordered our entrees at 5:50 (two salads with meat) and they didn’t arrive until 6:20. We had an event at 7 pm, so we had to ask for the check before finishing our meal and finish our food by 6:30. Wait times absolutely need to be fixed here.

    We apologize for the long wait times and the impact it had on your evening, Kara. Thank you for your feedback; we'll work on improving our staffing and service efficiency.
