A: I had the veal flank steak here and it is one of the best I've ever had. Got recommended to come here and it was worth it. Food: 4/5, juicy veal with great sauce. The duck confit was very good as well. Service: 3.5/5, a little slow but very nice stuff that is attentive Ambience: 4/5, cool decor and very fun atmosphere for dinner. Price: 3/5, a little pricy $30/person

Q: positive

A: I wouldn't normally do a(nother) review update for an evening like Sunday night but after the last experience that forced me to walk out... I feel a strong need to share the outstanding service we received from Stanley. I was seated before my friends arrived and didn't see a server for over five minutes. I had flashbacks to a few weeks ago and briefly considered sending a text to change our meeting place. A few minutes later, one of my friends arrived and I explained what I was thinking. As I was sharing my thoughts, Stanley arrived and introduced himself as our server. I explained to him my experience for two reasons: (1) I never did hear about my inquiry after the last visit, I wanted someone in the place to acknowledge it; and (2) I didn't want a repeat and ruined meal. He made a point of not just nodding and smiling, but listening, asking questions, and assuring us that we would not have to worry tonight. Stanley was fantastic! Special orders were accomodated, wine service was excellent, and his care for us (and, in fact, the other tables around us) was perfect. There was some slow going with the food from the kitchen, but we weren't about to shoot the messenger; he was communicative and helpful and jovial, taking the time to enjoy our company and make sure that we had an enjoyable experience with him. He wasn't just a server, he was a participant in our little dinner party and it made all the difference. The food and ambiance are still (just) A-OK, 3 stars. Stanley's 5-star service is what makes me inclined to give this place 4 stars for this visit. FYI to the winos: Bonus points for the wine list with a lot of inexpensive yet drinkable wines - big fan! Bottles... yes, bottles, for $20? At a restaurant? Some are better than others, for sure, and they also carry a lot of variety all the way into the more expensive ranges... this was a nice discovery! Possibility of return? I can definitely see it happening if this type of service continues!

Q: positive

A: in town for a conference and craving 'real food'/a substantial breakfast to start the day - breakfast club, walking distance to our hotel, completely delivered. our server was super friendly, though we were sleepy and indecisive; she recommended the french toast side we ordered to be made ala bananas foster - YUM. more like dessert but nothing wrong with dessert for breakfast... otherwise we had fairly standard egg dishes but they were yummy, fresh, served quickly, and exactly what we needed. the *only* complaint i have is wayfinding - perhaps, since they were setting up for an event downstairs, it was moved - but there were ZERO signs on ground level, and while we could smell bacon/coffee/breakfast, we had to lap the block a few times and only found it because we figured we may as well try the escalator... a few signs would go far.

Q: negative

A:
Two stars is generous. We had a lot of problems and the food was subpar. We went with a party of 6. Me and my daughter had their Thanksgiving prefix menu, two others had the salmon medallions and two veal marsalas. For each course the food was delivered at different times... Half our table had to wait for the other half, which meant cold food. The butternut squash soup was delicious. Absolutely wouldn't change a thing. The salads were very good as well. The turkey itself was alright, green beans good. The stuffing was overly mushy and just tasted like turkey fat. Didn't care for the cranberry sauce. The salmon was dry. Side orders of spinach were excellent but the broccoli was too oily. The service staff kept forgetting our drinks. We had to order 3 times before we got our beer. When the food came out no one knew what belonged to who. It appeared like the service staff was trying to serve in accordance with steps of service but really didn't know what they were doing. Lastly, the dessert. If you like tiramisu, do not order theirs. It's cake style, very simple. Nothing great. The pumpkin pie that they served for thanksgiving was good. The crust unfortunately ruined it for me. That, and the ice cream that was served came melted on my plate (not the presentation the chef intended, I'm sure). My daughter's was very nice. Overall, for their style of restaurant and menu, I was not impressed. Primarily, their staff needs to be better trained in service.
