    I had the Wagyu burger. What a disappointment. Total bill came down to $115 (18% tip) for 2 drinks (cider + mocktail), 2 meals (burger and pasta) and one dessert (apple pie). I tend to judge places that sell burgers by how they pair their burgers with their buns and let me tell you that the standard buns they served were not freshly baked, let alone toasted. The meat was overcooked which is such a let down. For a place that poses as a bougie lounge it fails tremendously. I should have known, because the first item on their menu is literally popcorn💀. The wait staff however is classy and reminded me of a that of a country club, in both demeanor as well as attitude. I'm never going back here again. I wish I had spent the money on ingredients. At least I know how to make a proper hamburger.

    Very good spot for a business lunch, quiet, food is good. A note about shareability would be appreciated though.

    The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great! Our food took a while to come out, but the staff were so sweet and gave us a free dessert to make up for it!

    The food and service was outstanding! Music was rap like. We are older so would have enjoyed a more mellow vibe.

    The room was quite cool perhaps a vent above us which was uncomfortable. We enjoyed all the dishes but a couple of them were outstanding

    We reserved downstairs and enjoyed the ambience-very cool 70’s vibe. Excellent service from our server, not to mention her fellow co workers supporting service throughout the evening-excellent team work. The food was delicious. Highlights for us being the burrata, scallops and sea bass. The “Shining” element was the added cherry on top for me-I love Stephen King😉 We were full and out of time-so dessert was not ordered. I look forward to a return visit! We dine out a lot, and the Wednesday Room wins our favorite vote to date.
