   Lacey, our server was and is fantastic. In fact, we look for her area when we come. The cherry and kale salad, is awesome as is the vamp pizza. Whoever decides the menu is fantastic, and ac has become a favorite eating spot for us; especially now that these is music.

   Server was inexperienced. Took 20 minutes to get first round of drinks and we were on 2 hour time limit. The portion of steak was very small. We were going to order dessert and another round of drinks, but we were kicked out with 10 minutes left of our limit. We had not seen our server for 20 minutes.

   Friday and Saturday music is a nice touch. Parking off the street is really helpful too.

   The plain, functional name of the AC Lounge understates the incredible variety and excellence of the food. We had mushroom toast (chewy toast and heavenly umami), shrimp and toast cazuela (multiple pieces of sourdough toast, garlic, shrimp, onions, herb butter), kale and cherry salad (crunchy, sweet, tart all at once), and short ribs stroganoff (rich, fall-off-the-bone tender chunks of beef, creme fraiche, etc. melted in your mouth, hint: go with the mashed potatoes rather than linguine, their creaminess enhanced the dish perfectly). We also had the French onion soup, which was just okay. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. We would have appreciated it if they had brought us our salads before the entrees, but they brought everything at once. My dining companions liked the open-air high ceilings; I would have preferred that the space be more intimate like it was deliberately designed to please your palate, rather than stuck off to the side with almost nothing between the dining area and the rest of the giant lobby. (The design probably works better when it is sunny and warm outside, and the open door to the outdoor seating beckons to you. This restaurant is worth visiting any time of year because of the varied and changeable menu.

   Excellent food, good service & atmosphere. A bit speedy but expected due to the location & view.

   Walking in it's a little hard to find the restaurant but that could be due to the Christmas tree the dining area is tucked in the back corner. Got us seated immediately with our reservation the food was fantastic. Water was always refilled. The service was great the staff checked on us frequently while letting us enjoy our time to talk. Highly recommend this place for a nice dinner or a date.

    The food and service were very good. I particularly appreciate that the management took it on faith that my OpenTable $50 reward was legit even though they had never before processed such a reward and it apparently did not go through their system on first attempt -- better that they fight with OpenTable than I do! The only downside to the meal experience wasthe lighting in the dining room, very weirdly bright. It creates a rather soulless feel to the room.
