"We thought this was a unique place to meet friends, but turns out it 's one of several locations, mostly in Arizona and Texas and a few opening in the East and South too. The menu is slightly Italian (mostly the meats and cheeses available) but more so elevated American. Overall the food was good and prices were fair but the food quality was just average, with a wedge salad that was just torn iceberg salad (I guess that 's why they dropped out of culinary school, hehe) and a homemade lasagna that was the wrong texture (very firm) and aren 't all restaurant lasagnas homemade, so why put it in the title? We 'll give the server props though because every time we asked about a dish or said what we were going to order, she recited back what the dish was composed of, as if to confirm we were making the right selection. She also pushed dessert very early, like 50% into our entrees, and she won because we took the bait, but unfortunately they were oversold and again the flavors and textures were just a little off. The service was good but we 'd say a little overly attentive and of the type to butt in. The space was pretty cool/open/high ceilings, big space not on top of other people, with an open kitchen in the back. The music was a little too loud for the space for us to hear each other easily but it wasn 't impossible. Overall it was a good experience, we just wished the food were a little higher quality."
