    Good food options for everyone. Burger buns could be improved with some toasting (especially the GF ones). Lighting was muted but not dark. Table we sat at was a bit small for 4 adults, but we were able to manage

    A group of us went to the Van Gogh exhibit and then just had a quick stroll to the restaurant. Menu was pretty diverse and everyone was able to find something to their liking. Wait staff was friendly but didn't hover. Everyone was happy with their meals (nachos, smash burger, birria grilled cheese, Japanese fried chicken sandwich). The fish tacos were probably the only item not scoring high marks as they were a bit soggy. Everything else was yummy.

    The service and food were both great! My husband and I had a date night and the atmosphere was fun and energetic, especially by the bar, but low key enough to be relaxing and romantic.

    Family of 6 adults celebrating a birthday party. Crammed in a booth. (1 pregnant) we had a reservation. Never been before. If we return. We will do high top. Food was good. Average. But the birthday girls brunch biscuits were not cooked. Was returned and remade and received 20 min later after much of us were finished. Server was apologistic, but was not taken off bill. Did get a complimentary bd dessert. Very underwhelming.

    Place is a good atmosphere, food was average, drinks were very good, service was a little slow initially i.e. drinks but apps and entrees came out fast, apps were very good (warm pretzels and shrimp cocktail huge), entrees were OK, roasted chicken didn’t have any flavor and was difficult to eat, person in my party enjoyed the steak tips and another the teriyaki chicken bowl, very strong cannabis odor with one of the servers.
