    Food was ok. Environment was supposed to be a relaxed with some live music, but we could hear loud rap music from the bar next door that’s apart of the restaurant. Our server was awesome but overall the dining experience was not worth the cost.

    Took my mom for mothers Day. She loved it! The live music was great and the food was delicious, the spicy green bean should probably be less Asian style and and more spicy and straight forward but everything else we got was great. I just wish they didn’t sell out of the bone marrow because that’s they only reason I went but I’ll definitely be back to try it

    My first visit to Time 5/2023; the staff was fabulous: professional, attentive, did not see slacking. Ordered the Branzino which was the BEST I have ever had; seat mate had the scallops which he said were fantastic. Our waitress made a wonderful recommendation for wine. The only complaint was the volume of the duo playing - way too loud; they should consider/respect that diners are there to have a conversation in a normal voice and they would actually sound better if they lowered the volume some!!

    Love the love music and the overall vibe. Happy hour drinks & snacks were great in both taste & value. Only "complaint" per se is the cost versus quantity of some main dishes; my friend got another happy hour snack after he finished his entrée because he was still hungry.

    Macaroni and cheese was delicious. Music was good. While finishing drinks a woman came over to us who was not our server and said your reservation is over and pretty much cleared out stuff from under us. Took us by surprise as we would have had no issue wrapping if it was handled more professionally. We were not told of any time limit.

    The perfect place before Theater!! Clarissa is a fantastic server and the food is several steps higher than expected for a small jazz club. Get there by 5:45 as the live jazz starts at six and you will want to be out by 7:30 to make show time. Thank you!! We will be back!

    We went for Restaurant Week, and had a wonderful time. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was great, with a wonderful jazz duo (sax and guitar) that played at just the right sound level. Add in tasty cocktails and a fine selection of beer, and is was a very nice night out. The only complaint was that the spice level on the shrimp and grits was a bit too overpowering. The table next to us felt the same.

    I was incredibly disappointed with the overall experience. I have been to time multiple times before and it's always been a lovely and pleasant experience. I have never had any previous complaints. As a matter of fact, it had been one of my go tos for first dates. I'm not sure what happened or if the issues were because of the holidays, but that was one of my worst services in general. I arrived and the waitress was lovely! I asked to be sat at another table and she was super accommodating. My drink came out super fast and so did my appetizer. Then everything went downhill. I waited a full hour for my entree to arrive. For some reason (maybe they do this often and I am unaware of it) they turned all of the main lights off. So, it was barely dim. Had the windows not provided light, you likely would have had a hard time seeing each other. I've been to dim restaurants before but this was just....odd? Genuinely couldn't tell if it was a power outage or not. Anyway, I got so sleepy waiting for my food that I decided to go home. While I waited, I overheard the next table over order food. They had to order 3 times because everything that they wanted was not available. Super odd. Anyway, I finally received my food in a box to go. When I get home, I dig in. It was AWFUL. The short rib with rice noodles. It was like licking salt. I even asked my partner to taste it without mentioning the saltiness and she immediately winced at the flavor. A bad night for Time!

    Time is a fun spot to enjoy live music and a great menu. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food quality and portions are good. It's noisy when the music is up so if that matters, you may want to request to sit on the side away from the stage. Drinks were great also!
