    The dining room was quite crowded. Slow to get the server. Jalapeño rolls excellent. My Branzino was nice, cooked well, a little bland. The crusty skin was nice, tapenade not so much.

    Appetizers and dinners were excellent but the service was messy and uncoordinated. Big gaps between drinks, apps and meals. Server Karen was helpful and friendly but we could tell she was stressed and apologetic for whatever was going on backstage

    Was anticipating a good leisurely brunch and left disappointed. Two of us barely touched our Bloody Marys as they were rather diluted and had very little taste. The Alice B Breakfast was a couple of fried eggs, tough/overcooked sausages, fried smashed fingerling potatoes that had zero moisture, and underwhelming toast. The Croque Madame Flatbread was boring and hurt my eyes looking for the Mornay sauce. Service was attentive, but the orders were wrong and no attention to detail. I'll pass on going back.

    Our primary concern was the significant delay in service. We waited an unusually long time for our orders to be taken and for our drinks to arrive. While we understand that restaurants can have busy periods, the wait times seemed excessive, even accounting for a busy Sunday brunch. Worse, main ingredients to dishes we ordered were nowhere to be found. When we raised our concerns about the delay with our server (we think her name is Daniela), we didn’t feel our issue was adequately addressed. This led us to escalate the matter to the manager on duty. While the manager (Nicole) tried to ameliorate the situation, I think it just further dampened our experience.

    Over all a really good experience. The bar was really backed up and it took a long time to receive our cocktails which then held up the meal service. Luckily we weren’t in a hurry. The server was very communicative and let us know what was going on. The food was excellent and worth the wait. Cheddar biscuits are to die for and the chips with onion dip were a delicious and fun option. We enjoyed our entrees of branzino and the shepherd’s pie-both very well prepared. Chocolate cake was a nice finish to the meal. Looking forward to coming back.

    The acoustics are terrible! The food and service couldn't be better, and it's a very nice dining room to sit in, but the bouncing around of the noise is painful, and I can't see a reason to return.

    Wow!! What a treasure! Absolutely perfect in all respects - by far among the finest in the area. Menu offers a wide variety of excellently prepared dishes- including vegetarian and a vegan. I had their Branzino - we also had their chicken cutlet - both accompanied with a plate of sautéed brussel sprouts - for a simpler meal, they offer offer sliders and other finger foods. Service was excellent. Alice and Gertrude would be proud.

    One of the better meals in PS. Interior was a bit odd as you felt like I was in a hotel bar and the dining area had a traditional steakhouse feel. BUT, food made up for it.

    Went with a group so we sampled most of the menu. Great drinks. Amazing food. Service was efficient and friendly. Loved the art work on the way to the bathrooms. Definitely going again.
