    The ambiance and patio provide an amazing setting to enjoy a meal with friends. Unfortunately, the quality of the food served here seems to be in decline over the past year. If you are looking for a great beer in a fabulous spot, this is your spot.

    Terrible experience This used to be a gem now I have no desire to ever come back Waited to be seated for 10 minutes no one seemed to care just ignored us and walked around us It got to the point I approached one of the staff that bluntly ignored us. I told him I had a reservation and no one has served us seated us so on. Staff acted as if this was a real inconvenience and left it in my hands to figure things out. At this point I asked one of the waitresses at this point I got seated. Finally right. Wrong. Sat at the table for about 15 minutes no one acknowledged so we decided to get up and leave at that point. Frankly I don’t blame the staff because they were run off their feet. So bad that I am surprised they never quit/left it was bad. I hope management sees this and needs to have more staff on shift and on top of it the place was filthy but not shocking since there is no staff. Very bad experience.

    We sat outside on the patio with gorgeous views! The kids had the tortellini and chicken strips and both were delicious, hubby and I tried the Korean chicken sandwich and the steak sandwich both were good as well (I opted for kimchi on the side so I could control the spice level). Server was great he was kind, courteous and attentive! Would definitely go back again

    Waitress was friendly but too many tables, not enough staff so waited 25 mins before she came by to say hi & take drink orders. Food was not good at all especially for the price.

    They did not seem prepared for the amount of people that they had. Our server did her best to keep up but it was very slow. Our reservation was at 7. We got our food about 8:30. And it was not that great. Lacking flavour. Like to busy in kitchen for them to confirm meals came out proper. We where a table of 7 and some of us got our food and ate before others food showed up at table.

    Amazing food and drinks! Best peach Bellini's ever! Only complaint would be that the atmosphere could be a little better inside. We love the patio in the summer but sitting inside there was no music so I felt like I could just hear people talking at other tables.

    We had a reservation for a group of 10 (6 adults, 3 kids, 1 baby) for lunch on a Saturday. They had a great table for us, the food was amazing, and above all the service was fantastic. Our server was so patient, helpful, and friendly with our slightly chaotic group. Haha! Definitely recommend!

    Disappointed it’s not wheelchair accessible. Seems like that should be a made priority as it has a huge outdoor patio and lots of Room to build a ramp. People in wheelchairs deserve to access rk restaurants in 2023. Food was pretty good. Service was very very slow.

    The atmosphere and waitress were great, however, The burger was missing ingredients, making it not worth what we paid and the dessert was incorrect. We wanted the gelato with almond bark and chocolate and it was plain ice cream with some kind of fruit syrup. Not worth what we paid.

    It was a very quiet Tuesday night, I ordered the open faced chicken sandwich, it tasted amazing but the chicken was so small, for $27. I expected at least an average size piece of chicken. My date had the Korean chicken sandwich, his was also delicious and a good size. Service was pretty good overall. Quiet in the restaurant.
