    Got seated by the hostess right away, however 10-15 minutes had past before our server came to our table to take our order and that was only after asking the hostess where our server was. Overall, once our order was taken the food was great and came quickly. Would consider trying again.

    Great spot with above average food. The salads were great, the French onion was very average, the ambience was cool. I would definitely go back but wish they can improve on the soup a bit.

    All the food was mediocre. Not bad, but nothing special. Tip app was “fixed” to 20% inclusive of tax (or more!).
