"My wife and I wanted a nice laid-back place to sit outside and enjoy a fun dinner. We ended up being very disappointed by the service. Our server took about 10-15 minutes to get to the table (which feels like an eternity when you are waiting to order beverages). They took our drink order and quickly returned with a cocktail and waters but the beer we ordered was delayed by a few minutes. Not a big deal, but then the night went south. We didn't see our server again for a very long time. We started to feel like our appetizer was a little delayed when food runners showed up with our entrees. No app in sight. We let them know and eventually the server brought our app. But we were halfway into the meal by that point. The food tasted fine. Nothing extraordinary but not bad. The nachos, I admit, were delicious. The mac and cheese we ordered was described to have bread crumbs but was missing that. Fortunately the server had it taken care of pretty quickly. We were never asked about having our drinks refilled. And after eating, we waited a long time for our check. It just seemed to take forever for everything. None of the problems by themselves would have been a big deal, but together it added up to a somewhat unpleasant experience. The server was nice and apologetic. They also comped us the appetizer which was nice. May have been an off night or maybe a new server, but I can't say I would recommend going on a Saturday night. Also, we did enjoy the outdoor seating area. It was a little tight, but the ambiance was nice."

"I came here since friends have recommended this place. The reviews claim food like “Michelin” star food. Last night was not what I expected from the food at all. Upon arrival my water glass was dirty. Our waitress was super kind and even checked on the specials that they had. We ordered the following: pretzel bun with truffle butter, paella croquettes, the burger with RIPP fries and the braised short rib. The pretzel bun held up to everyone reviews! The paella croquettes were served cold the first time around and had to be sent back. Both times I did not see any rock shrimp. It was not bad if served correctly. The burger with ripp fries. The ripp fries were delicious perfectly crisp and the burger was okay. The sauce and lettuce was on the bottom bun and it came out soggy. Lastly, the braised short rib. I felt like I was drinking oil with how much oil there was in the dish. Also the amount of onions was ridiculous. The mushroom idea added to the risotto was phenomenal but wish it wasn’t drenched in oil. The ambiance in the back dining room is nice. You will have to use your phone light to see the menu. The garden area for dining in the middle is lovely. The bar had plenty of seats. We also were able to get a seat without reservations. I give this place a 3 for the waitress, vibe and pretzel bun. Also with how busy it was the wait staff did their best to accommodate all tables."
