   Lockbox at 21c is a favorite place. Brought family in from Denver and they loved it. Food and drinks were great as was our server Ross.

   What we got was good. 2 people got roast chicken and the other got the cheeseburger. The cheeseburger was about the size of a McDonald's quarter pounder. From what I saw nothing special. My roast chicken was good but again, small amounts nothing tonrode home about. The staff were dressed as if they were working at a college help desk. It's a unique concept but I could go for Carson's, Coles on Main, Dudley's on Short, etc and have a much better experience. Truthfully I've paid less money and gotten more food and variety of options at a Texas Roadhouse. The food was delicious but I definitely didn't get 110 bucks worth of value out of what we were served. This place is good for trying so.ething new. But for me? 1 and done for sure.

   Food was delicious, so were the cocktails! Great ambience and venue. Service was a tad slow, but that was the only negative. Would definitely return!

   My wife and I were looking forward to tryintg Lockbox at 21c. The space is beautiful and environment is very inviting. However, we were disappointed in our service and food quality. First, my wife ordered very specifically and reinforced she wanted a sauce on the side. The waiter ensured us it would be done. It wasn't. It came out as normal and when asked, we were told, "waiter didn't tell us". I'm not blaming the waiter per se, but honestly if someone is very specific about something, as a waiter I would reinforce the order and check before it makes it to the table. Second, I had ordered the steak frites, which is typically a relatively inexpensive dish but in this case was the most expensive dish on the menu... this led me to believe the quality of the steak and/or fries were something superior or above average. Both were not true, as my steak was gristled and tough (even cooked medium rare, which wasn't incorrect... just the quality of the meat was bad). The fries were overcooked and burnt. Third, we were mostly ignored through dinner service. We had to flag down other waiters and staff walking by to refill water and/or drinks twice. Normally I would take this in stride if the restaurant were extremely busy and packed but it looked to be about half full. Overall, disappointing and would likely not return...

   I ordered the BLUE CRAB GNOCCHI and was disappointed. Simply pasta with some blue crab flavoring really had little to no taste. We also ordered the skillet potatoes. They were good & hot, but beware they are very very garlicky! (Yuk) My wife had the seafood fish dish, which was very good and the service was also good.

   Delicious. Great vibe. Blue crab gnocchi was delicious. Beet salad was fantastic. Chocolate cheesecake was yummy - not too sweet.
