Thank you for making my birthday a special one! I had a group of 8 booked for a birthday party. I requested the private room in back and they were able to accommodate right at the reservation time. Everyone was happy with the food and loved the experience. Very kind of them to also bring a dessert on the house for my birthday. Overall a great night and definitely recommend for your special occasions

We had a wonderful brunch on New Year’s Day, our server was so friendly and the Eggs Benedict and Walleye Hashbrowns that we chose from the menu were both excellent. We love Hell’s Kitchen for the festive ambiance during the Holidays and the food and service have always been great when we’ve come no matter what time of year!

Food is always consistent. The booth though was very tight for 6 people. Table was overwhelmed with plates, glasses, coffee cups. The table we had really would have been better for 4. Need round tables for 6. That is my ONLY complaint. Wasn’t happy when hostess sat us there, even with reservations we had made. Thank you

Wow, what a pleasant surprise. We loved our first visit here. Lively but not too loud, great appetizers and good mains. I wasn’t impressed by the wine list of white ( by the glass overwhelmingly all sav blanc) but Caymus by the glass was good to see. Dessert just order the chocolate. Nice additions with hand cloths and aperitifs. Nice wait staff. We will be back.

The gluten free tea portions were very generous and I was delighted to have the option to eat there with my family. My only criticism is that the cake/scones were very dry.
