"We elected to dine at Gibson’s as we received multiple recommendations from friends. However, the experience fell way short. As for good, table was ready 15 minutes early, personable accommodating waiter, and sea bass was incredible. On the other hand, horrible atmosphere. Basically, the restaurant intended to put as many tables as possible in a single room, at the expense of any privacy. The surrounding tables were practically dining with us. Additionally, 14 oz filet mignon was ordered with high hopes but it was a big disappointment. As for my suggestion to anyone looking for options, STK Steakhouse, where we dined the night before, earned 5 stars in every single aspect."

"I must review the experience last week. Have been dinning here since late 90s. Always had either a great experience or very good. So the food we all can agree is stellar, Chris Ward has been creating delicious, passionate cuisine for many years. On one occasion his behavior was deplorable arrogant rude P. O. S. With that said the dozens of other encounters have been pleasant and charming. Decor is dated and it's borderline de-classe. Now that's my opinion and I'm not knocking him or his decor. So we have a restaurant that delivers the best food . Menu has been edited from time to time. It almost hurts me to review Mercury because I absolutely live it. But the staff has been lack luster I was the host of a party of 8 and the amount of service errors are unacceptable. I won't mention the servers name, but this individual has a chip on his shoulder. Was sloppy, rude forgetful and his wine knowledge was basic. I mean really bad. Had no idea about spirits. A martini made with Bombay Sapphire was ordered and he asked what kind of vodka did I want. As I write this I'm getting annoyed because my Xanax is wearing off and my wife's wearing her lulu lemon yoga pants for the 3rd day and I am not in the mood for Mackerel..... Look it was a off night for the waiter , I get it. I still tipped him 30% because he's handsome and has a rocking body and doesn't smell like lulu lemon mackerel. Sorry Chris."

"Alice was our bartender and server, and she was incredible! Her personality, suggestions, and overall knowledge were outstanding. My wife and I will definitely be returning, and we'll also recommend this place to our friends and family. It was the best dining experience we've had all year!"

"Hubby and I ate here on 12/30 while in town for the Vikings game. We really liked the food and the service was great. We both had the prime rib sandwich. I also had the cheese curds which melted in my mouth! The only thing we didn’t like was the automatic 15% service charge to all checks and that doesn’t include the tip for the server!!! A simple lunch turned into a $100 meal. We didn’t have any alcoholic beverages either. I likely won’t go again but glad I experienced a Minnesota staple!"

"This evening was a disappointment in every possible way: Service, Food, dessert. Crab month- soft shell special(s). Opted for Oscar, after a considerable amount of time after ordering, apologies that they were out. 2nd choice crab cake sandwich. Possibly the worst. Picked at it. Could not eat it. French fries over seasoned, fish chips likened to greasy frozen cod. Have had numerous great meals here in the past however this was our first visit since last August. Friends had Mother’s Day brunch that was equally disappointing. Wondering how could this lovely local restaurant could be this different?"

"On a lovely day, we decided to have brunch outside at Bungalow Lakehouse. It's necessary to make reservations for outdoor seating, so we did. It took a few minutes to get our table, and some more minutes to be greeted after sitting down, but when the waiter finally came, he said this was the busiest it had ever been since the Covid reopening, so I think they were a little shortstaffedoverwhelmed. But, after getting greeted and placing our orders, everything went smoothly. The crabcakes benedict were awesome, but my partner's omelette was a bit dry. The noise level was pretty high, as people were just excited to be out and about. Overall, an enjoyable experience"

"Over the years I have been to Artisan many times. The restaurant always seems to able to evolve so it never feels the same or old, or as expected. Last night was no exception. The wine list has evolved, the menu has new choices. I wouldn 't call it a value menu but the dinner we had was luxurious and yet fairly priced. But the most outstanding part of the evening was the service. All the staff was quick to help, but also understood our requests effortlessly. Even a broken glass on the floor at the next table was quickly dealt with and the Maitre 'D stood by to make sure no one stepped on any of the glass. I wish many of the other CT restaurants had service staffs that were as sharp. We both ordered steak but we had two different kinds, a nice menu touch. One was hanger steak w sauce, one was NY Strip. Our potatoes were delicious, We skipped dessert but had a whisky from the very nice list. A perfect winter evening."

"If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would. The chicken tenders were overcooked and dry, and the fries were soggy. The marinara sauce for the mozzarella sticks tasted more like tomato soup than anything else. The homemade honey mustard sauce was odd and quite unappetizing."

"I suppose if you're willing to pay $13 for a sub-par hamburger, then this review isn't going to mean much to you. On a Sunday afternoon, I went into jams for the first time. I have heard so much hype about it that I wanted to try it for myself. I found it surprisingly dead at that time of day, which is unusual because the parking lot is always filled for this place. I sat at the bar and ordered a soda. what kind of restaurant doesn't have soda on phone? So you get a can of Diet Coke. Later, when I got the bill, I about fell out of my chair when I was charged $2.95 for a can of Diet Coke. Then, I ordered the Jams hamburger with balsamic onions and bacon. It was a good size hamburger, and the bun was good. I asked for pickles and lettuce and tomato on my hamburger. Again, what kind of please that tell it's their hamburgers doesn't have sliced hamburger pickles? As a matter of fact, for $13, they should hand make their own pickles. But I got some sort of food service deli spears. I have to say that the veggie slaw was very good. The hamburger, on the other hand, was very bland. Expected a good amount of the balsamic onions, and I got what probably equated to a tablespoon. The bacon also was subpar. Then, just to top it off, the bartender who was serving me was completely distracted by her friends at the end of the bar and never once returned to see what I needed. There were three managers at the other end of the bar complaining about this and that, which just kind of brought everything into focus for me. This is a trendy restaurant, with exhorbitant prices, for people who have nothing better to do than to spend too much money for mediocre food and drinks."

"Omelet and BLT were ok. There was a large party seating as we got there and we asked to not be sat near them. So instead they crammed us behind a room divider next to the front door. So every time a server went outside to the front patio our whole table shook from the door slamming. Older male server (not ours) was practically yelling as he trained someone new at the computer behind us. We couldnt even hear each other talk when he was nearby. Food was fine but nothing to write home about. Will not be returning."

"I absolutely adore this restaurant. It is hands down my favorite place to be. While I am not a huge fan of the food and find that there are only a couple of dishes I enjoy, the service can be quite slow at night or on weekends. However, I am in love with the atmosphere of the restaurant. I will happily spend an hour sipping on my coffee just to relax. I particularly enjoy the outdoor seating when the weather is nice, and I appreciate the friendly and familiar daytime staff. They always remember me and my kids, our orders, and are consistently welcoming. I also appreciate the unique and delicious food and coffee options that are not easily found elsewhere. Despite being in NYC, I doubt I could find strapatsada or the perfect Cafe or Iced Viennesse anywhere else. This place is perfect for any occasion, whether it be a celebration, date night, or just hanging out. Even after renovations, it remains a beloved neighborhood establishment full of cherished memories. It's always a good time at this restaurant. The coke is also quite tasty, although not suitable for those with gluten intolerance. I personally enjoy it, even if it means a bit of suffering afterward."

"My friends and I were looking forward to our meal at Gibsons, but the overall experience was just OK. We had a 7pm reservation but did not get seated until 7:45. It was busy there but this is unacceptable, and I was embarrassed because I had suggested going there. We each ordered a drink, appetizers, shared sides, and each of us got the 10 oz filet mignon. The mashed potatoes were beyond salty but the rest of the food was OK. Bottom line, though, is I have had better meals at half the price, and probably won't go back. The one bright spot was our sever, Diana, who was great."

"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 had my surprise bridal shower here and it was beyond my expectations! The staff was so helpful the day of, and from what my sisters and mom told me, they were unbelievable with helping to plan it every step of the way! The room is beautiful and the food was incredible. I was so busy with trying to talk to everyone I barely had time to eat but they were so nice and packed a goody bag of some food and leftover desserts for me to bring home. Overall great experience and I highly recommend it for any social gathering!"

"Nice seafood restaurant on a pier in Elliott Bay. Not at all crowded when we visited in January. We had the fried oyster dinner and a combo of short ribs and scallops. All excellent. The oysters from the raw bar were pretty pricey, so we waited until we got back to Florida"

"Based on the happy hour bar menu alone, I'd only go back to try the cocktails. We had the burger and the crab and artichoke beignets. The burger was ordered medium rare and had zero pink. In addition to being overcooked, the burger is served on ciabatta which just felt weird given the ingredients. The beignets didn't have much flavor, the fries that came with the burger were good and were sadly the only part of the meal we were totally happy with. The service and atmosphere were great and it is a wonderful location. I really wish I could rate it higher. I think we will stick with Prhyme's happy hour."

"If I could give six stars I would. As a local, I've been coming to the Grotto for years. It was always a favorite for out of town family, my Grandfather from LA loved the cioppino. Of all the times I've been coming, I have to say the owner (Chris) and his staff are always so welcoming. The food is consistent delicious. This place stands out to me for how giving they are .. generous portions, always giving the ladies a rose when they dine.. love this. Also, I see the owners employ elders, immigrants, locals, you name it. I love seeing diversity of ages backgrounds in the staff members. I will be back soon! Thanks to the Grotto it's great team!"
