"We had a flawless dinner experience! Highly recommend. The tomato and peach salad was like nothing I’ve ever had- my husband and I both loved it! The Japanese milk bread was fantastic! Chef Melanie Wilkerson is very clever and uses high quality, fresh ingredients. The drinks were excellent! I had the “who rule the world” cocktail, yum!! The staff were very attentive and friendly! Will definitely return! We also returned for breakfast. The egg white frittata was delicious! The pancakes were perfect! Love love love this place!"

"My husband and I just came here for our anniversary, and honestly, we were quite disappointed. The interior of the restaurant itself is kind of weird. The decor is pretty random and eclectic (not in a good way) and just looks strange and tacky. The so-called "artwork" is absolutely awful. The service was quite good. Our server was nice and energetic, and she did her best, even though they were kinda busy and the kitchen was pretty slow. Unfortunately, we had to send back two different dishes. First, our confit wings, which just weren't that great. Some of them were a little bit underdone, even. And then after that, I had to send back my roasted chicken entree, which also had some underdone parts inside that were leaking red juices all over everything. And the whole dish itself just kind of wasn't that impressive. Plating wasn't great, the turnips were a little bland, the greens were overdone. We did have a side of the mushrooms with Madeira to replace the wings. They were very good. After I sent back my chicken entree, I got the agnolotti instead, which was mostly pretty good, but I think it only came with four agnolotti and probably could have had just a little bit more, and a little less sauce and mushrooms. But it was tasty. My husband was not impressed with his smash burger which was very average for $19. He said the burger and fries reminded him of Sysco products and that he could get a much better one for half the price at Only Burger. Because we had to send back two different dishes, we did get a free dessert. We got a panna cotta, which was nice. Ultimately, this feels like one of those of restaurants that doesn't actually deliver impressive fine dining but definitely charges you for it. I think they lean on their setting, their weird artwork, and some fancy chef's name, and I think the food sounds a little fancier and better than it actually is. I've come to realize that more casual restaurants tend to have much better tasting food than these expensive restaurants that have $50 entrees but can't even get chicken right. I'm starting to feel very duped by "nice", expensive restaurants. We were grateful that they rectified the situation, but we will not be coming back. 3 stars might be a touch too generous but 2 might be too low. So, 2.5."

★★★

"The food is always so delicious, fresh, and has a unique flavor profile. Everything I’ve tried from the pork schnitzel, gnocchi, smash burger, wings, etc. you can never make a wrong decision. Today I also tried the lemon cheesecake. AMAZING."

★★★★★

"The burger wings and fries were solid. Ingredients tasted fresh. The milk bread with the whipped honey was the star of the show, though. I could probably eat it everyday."

★★★★

"The food was an average presentation and without any accoutrement. One should not have to ask for salt and pepper with eggs Or butter for toast. My egg breakfast was served after my wife completed her meal.... and the restaurant was only 1/3 full for Sunday brunch at 11 o'clock and so demand on the chef was not excessive. Coffee refills, even with grounds in the cup, were not offered and the provided service by the actual waitress was inexplicably subpar, perfectly contrasted by Jordan, the maître d' who was beyond phenomenal. Nicco's Greek restaurant 10 minute walk away is 10/5 stars across the board."
