We had "Brunch" on a Saturday prior to a Broadway performance. They were quite busy but able to seat us right away. It is so noisy that we considered going somewhere else but werent sure we could make that happen in time. The hostess and servers were really awesome, professional and friendly. The Brunch menu is very limited and does not offer much for people with dietary limitations. They do not offer anything from their regular menu during Sat Brunch. We both ordered their brunch burger (med rare). In spite of being packed and having 2 large tables (14-15 people each) they got our food out in plenty of time for us to make our performance. I ordered mine without the bun so the egg on top was very visible. It was raw..I mean the egg white was raw with a paper thin fragment of white on the bottom. They did cook the burgers perfectly which is difficult to do when serving multiple people. The fries were ..well unremarkable. For some reason, when you order a burger without a bun all restaurants and I mean all .. seem to need to fill up the space with extra lettuce, making it difficult to cut up and eat without food going everywhere. Due to the noise and raw egg we will not be going back
Food here was amazing. The server/bartender Jonathan was the best. Great food. Great service. Thank you for helping us have an amazing night
Bad first impression. A lukewarm greeting by the host/bartender, oddly aggressive when we asked not to be seated in a dark back corner of the nearly empty dining room. The menu was not the same as was shown on the website. Apparently there is a new chef, so the menu didn't have the items we were hoping to try. I chose the tofu mushroom sandwich which was tasty but could have used a paper wrap as it falls apart when picked up. It came with a side of fries (lukewarm like our greeting). No side was mentioned on the new menu because it would have been nice to sub a side salad if possible. My companion ordered the taco salad, kind of pricey to not come with a protein, so paid extra to add garlic seared chicken. The rather small and not very cold salad arrived. The chicken was tender but the taste was uninspired. On the bright side, our server, Joe, was helpful and attentive considering he was the only one waiting tables at the time, but we won't be coming back.
The food options were amazing. I got the delicious fried chicken sandwich but was jealous of my niece's fired artichoke salad!! Portions were generous, wedge fries yummo. I'll be back! Oh! Almost forgot to mention my lavender mocktail. Refreshing!
My husband and I had dinner here before a show at the Safe Credit Union Performing Arts Center. We are observing Lent, so we needed meatless options, and this place did not disappoint! The menu offered several vegetarian and vegan options that were delicious. It was a bit loud, but otherwise, it was a great experience. I highly recommend it!
