   Though a goof friend had recommended The Patio, we had a decidedly mixed experience. Though it is a wine bar, it had an incredibly short and largely uninteresting wine list. We asked to sit outside, but they had a heater blasting on us despite it being in the high 60s which they did turn off at our request as we were all overheated. And the overhead lights glaring down on our table made us feel as if we were in Times Square. Again, the staff were very accommodating and said we could move to a table more protected from the lights if we wanted, which we did. The menu choices were as limited as the wine options, so not easy to order something of interest, especially for the vegetarian in our group. Afterwards, my friend said he'd more had fun experiences at The Patio drinking with friends and was largely unfamiliar with the menu, so he should have recommended another option for dinner. But it's a nice setting, and if you find wines and entrees that interest you (check out online), you may well have a good time. But our group was disappointed, except for the great staff.

   We had a “Just married brunch” for some newlyweds. The patio staff was so accommodating in helping us surprise the couple and were very attentive. Would highly recommend throwing a special event here.

   Too many dogs ambling through the restaurant, and there was a cat sitting alone on one of the couches, which is a problem as my wife and I are both allergic. The service was attentive and funny, and the food and beverages were quite good.

   Amazing service. A great diverse menu - from oysters, to Benedict’s, to salads. As well as a diverse cocktail, wine and non alchoholic drink menu. We came for brunch but would also come here for dinner too. It was great experience for a group outing.

   Service and food were outstanding on a Monday evening. Ruben was our server (and also bartender). He did a fantastic job with both jobs. Friendly, helpful, genuine, caring. The kitchen hit it out of the ballpark with the little gem salad (super fresh ingredients), mac and cheese (decadent, noodles still had a little bite!), short rib (spoon-tender), and fried chicken sandwich. Oh, the panna cotta dessert was delicious - unusual with mango and coconut. It was too cold to sit outside so were in a cozy spot inside. I wished I lived closer, I'd be a regular at this standout restaurant!

    Lovely experience. Great server. Great food. Had the short rib and partner had the steak frittes. Mac and Cheese is delish. Didn’t have dessert I’d go again.
