    First time dining there. Restaurant week. Outdoor seating looks nice but chilly evening so we kept the reservation inside. Loud inside on Sunday football night but table for 2 was nice but if you don’t like view of kitchen or bar/tvs limited seating. Caroline great waiter all evening, addressed shellfish allergy very well but because of single fryer limited menu options. Salmon burger was delicious as were hotchicken tenders. Steak was disappointing, too much gristle. Fries good but heavy on garlic. Appeared to be some other good options on menu. Parking garage off Elm street very nice, 3 hours free on weekends. Nice area around the Amazon HQ. We’ll probably come back, eat outside, try something different.

    We had made a reservation for brunch. I checked in with the hostess. There were a few open tables, but I had a wait. The hostess asked be again for my name and said “let me see where I can put you”. I asked if we could just take one of the two open tables that could fit our party. She acted like she didn’t have any tables and that she was going out of her way to seat us there. When we got to the table, she proceeded to give me a 10+ min speech about how table rotation worked and that just because I have a reservation that doesn’t get me a specific table. It seemed like she was drunk or something. I politely said that I wasn’t trying to be rude, I just asked if we could be seated at one of the 2 open tables. I’ve been a hostess and a server, so I understand how it works. She continued to talk about it. I tried to make her leave by just saying I understood and thank you, but she wouldn’t leave. My friends got there and she was still there telling me about table rotation/serving. She finally left. My friends were confused about why she was talking to me about that. They thought she seemed drunk or something too. Finally after she left, we were greeted by the server, who was very nice. She did a great job and the food was very good. We ordered pancakes, a breakfast platter, and a Mediterranean bowl. All were flavorful and delicious. My rating would be a 1 star based on the experience with the hostess, but our server and the food definitely pulled up the rating.

    I had high hopes but don't have much else to say. The place was decent, but nothing provided a memorable, must-return experience. The drinks were weak, and the food was bland and oddly displayed, for example, I ordered a Mediterranean bowl, and it came out on a plate. Seating was a bit cramped, and the staff seemed overwhelmed and unprepared. It's a great spot for convenience if you're starving, but I likely won't be returning.

    We had reservations at noon, showed up and asked to be sat outside. We were escorted outdoors and chose our table. There were those Spotted Red Lantern bugs flying around and landing on the patio, tables and benches. When one landed on my head we decided, it was not for us. We walked inside and asked to be seated inside. The receptionist very abruptly said we gave your table away when you chose to sit outside, mind you we hadn’t even been served water yet. Baffled, we asked her what? We had a reservation, again she replied it no longer stood once we chose to sit outside. I have never been treated that way as a patron in a restaurant. We asked to talk to the manager and we were eventually seated at a inside table. Would I ever return, nope….

    We absolutely loved the food here! The lunch and brunch menus are both really good, with plenty of delicious options. Our waitress was very attentive and provided excellent service. Everything we tried was delicious. I especially recommend the wings, chicken and waffles, burger, chicken sandwich, salmon, and creamy mushrooms. There’s definitely something for everyone! The only downside is if you choose to sit on the patio, be prepared to have quite a few flies around you, which can be a little bothersome while eating and inside the music is very energetic. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
