   Our cocktails were delicious. Most of their food a solid miss! Gnocchi needed to be cooked longer. The burger wasn’t cooked throughly. The Bangkok sandwich was on super dry stale bread. The chicken was very good. Deviled eggs were also good. Waitress never cleared off our dirty dishes after we finished eating, restaurant was not very busy and the majority of the tables were empty and still had previous customers dirty dishes on them. Makes me wonder about the cleanliness of the restaurant in general. Will not return. Will not return.

   This was by far the most disappointing experience I’ve had at a high-end restaurant. When we asked the server about the types of cheese on the cheese board, he admitted he wasn’t sure and showed no willingness to find out for us. When the cheese board finally arrived, which by the way was the same time as our entrees which made it unappealing, no explanation was provided about the cheeses, and the portion of honey was so small it was barely usable. The next issue was the $28 gnocchi, which were the worst I’ve ever tasted. I have never sent food back, but these were so bad I felt I had no choice. The salad which was served as a replacement was also awful, consisting of a Mexican style chicken with a kale fruit salad. To make matters worse, the burger was of lower quality than something you’d find at a fast-food chain. Honestly, I wouldn’t even serve their food to my dog. And, when we left, who I assume was the manager insisted we stayed till 7 for the live mic karaoke, which I doubt would make up for the poor service and terrible, gut wrenching food.

   We had reservations at 4pm on Sunday for dinner. It took 10 mins to seat us and we didn’t get a drink on the table until 4:35. We ordered appetizers and food with our drinks as we were pushed for time to make a show. They didn’t get the apps out until after our dinner and dinner didn’t come until 4:50. To say service was lacking is an understatement. It’s a shame because the food wasn’t bad. There was also salsa dancing going on in the bar and the music was really loud. Looked like a fun event but would have been nice to know when making reservations.

   We were there in Sunday in between major shifts due to an event at DPAC. Everyone was very kind and had a great attitude. Food was great and we enjoyed the meal.

   The food was very good. We enjoyed a Brussels Sprouts apetizer, then both had a sanwich. There was a nice selection of beers. The service was great and we had a lovely table near the window. The ambiance was very nice - not too loud, lovely place. I would recommend and return.

   Flying Bull had a great brunch. We had the Chef's breakfast which was so full of flavor and incredibly plentiful. My husband and I easily could have shared (which I would recommend doing the next time). I highly recommend this place for brunch. The location is easy to get to with a lot of street parking. The food was great. The atmosphere, including all of the employees, was warm and welcoming.

    Went on the coldest day of the year, at 5pm. It was VERY cold in the restaurant. We kept our jackets on. Maybe not sit on left side? Food was ok.
