"I made an evening reservation for my wife and I at Mason Jar Kitchen for Valentine 's Day. Previous to this my only experience at the restaurant was a business lunch in the first few months after they opened (almost 6 years ago! . Our reservation was for 7:15pm. We arrived at 7:16pm and were met with a very busy restaurant, which is expected given the holiday. We were immediately invited to step up to the host station and they checked us in. While we waited my wife and I looked at the cupcakes and other tasty looking treats at the bakery, Cupcake , which shares the location with the restaurant. We were seated within 15 minutes. Not too shabby for Valentine 's night. Once at our table our server greeted us with menus, waters, and informed us of the night 's special: A four course Valentine 's Dinner where you choose a shared appetizer, your preferred salads, entrees, and shared dessert for a reasonable price. Optionally including a paired glass of wine per course, which was also tailored to the individual salad and entrees each person selected, for an even more reasonable price. Once we made our selections the server went off to the incredibly busy kitchen. We only knew this because my wife went to use the rest room before the appetizer arrived and walked past the kitchen. She shared that it was very energetic but positive. With this perspective we began to observe the rest of the staff and realized all of the staff were putting forth a huge effort to deliver food to patrons on time and keep the vibe very positive and light. Their efforts were very well received and it made the night. The meal service was fantastic. When we were finishing one course, the next was arriving. No waiting and wanting. The food itself was amazingly on point and delicious. The creme brulee dessert, along with its wine pairing, was a knock out. We definitely recommend the creme brulee! Thank you to the staff of Mason Jar Kitchen, especially those on staff that night. You made it happen! <3"

"Nasty conditions basically ruined my visit. My family 's been coming here for years. We typically enjoy the food, and today was no exception. The food itself was delicious! My mother and I noticed what appeared to be dried egg yolk (or something of similar consistency) on the table where she sat. Ok. Kind of gross, but not worth bringing to the server 's attention or worrying much over. We sat for a long time, visiting with our party. And more than one server checked on us multiple times, to see if we needed refills (even after they cleared our empty plates and gave us the check). So service was good too! But I decided to visit the restroom before leaving, and my stomach turned! As I rounded the corner to the restrooms, I was met by an awful stench that was more garbage than potty. Someone was already in the first stall, so I went to the second one. Yikes! The seat was askew, there were smears of what otherwise looked like feces on it with pieces hanging from the underside. I 'm telling you, I haven 't been that grossed out in a public restroom in a very long time. There is no excuse for it! The overall sense in there was out of sight, out of mind . Just awful. And I thought about notifying our server, but there 's no way the employees don 't already know (and she was so helpful during our meal, I didn 't want to ruin her day). This is what it comes down to now for me and my decision to ever come back. If they totally disregard and neglect the cleanliness of the restroom, how do I know they take better care of their kitchen and areas where food is prepped, cooked, and handled? Our food tasted pretty great! But I was so disgusted by the restroom, I felt kind of nauseated, nearly ruining our visit. And now I 'm not sure I can trust the quality of care around the food, either. Will have to seriously consider whether we ever go back or not. Disappointing, to say the least."
