We made reservations here specifically for the Mother's Day Brunch Buffet. The buffet was good. Nothing overly impressive but a good variety. We ate everything we dished up (which doesn't always happen at buffets). Little disappointed that they ran out of the Peach Bellinis (it was that or Mimosas on the boozy brunch menu) so I passed on cocktails.

We loved our dinner here. The blue cheese brussel sprouts were plentiful with a proper tang and cooked just right. While they could have given you more chicken, what they did present was fried to perfection with a sweet-heat drizzle that was sumptuous! And the potatoes au gratin were a wonderful finish with a creaminess that is unsurpassed!

First time trying a new place. With a reservation, we were seated quickly, but - 30 mins to get a drink, told server we had a hard stop for an event - didn't matter. Food started arriving 50 mins after seated, and they forgot our salad. Had to eat quickly and leave. They are lucky we left 10%, we will not be back. There is no excuse.

Even being short staffed you provided us with an excellent dining experience. Please add minibar dining points to my account (forgot to do it in the rush to get to lecture). Thanks in advance

As a non-white person, I was ignored by three waiters in a row. Racist

We ate there Saturday night. I'll start by saying that there were some minor issues with food coming out of the kitchen in a timely manner. Without asking the manager comped us half our bill. He was very professional about it stating that the service was not up to his standards.Beyond the timing issues, the staff was prompt and professional. The drinks were outstanding and the food was very good. We also liked the space. It is intimate with lots of windows. We expect going back soon.

Came for a 5:30 reservation. Our order was taken fairly promptly. We then waited an hour and 50 minutes and still had not received our food. We had opera tickets, and so we inquired about the food and were told it would be another 15 to 20 minutes before we should expect our food to be ready. We obviously could not wait that much longer to start eating. The host offered to comp the beverages we had while we waited. The explanation given was that everyone tries to come in at the same time and 'eat real quick' before the shows and it's hard for their kitchen to keep up. My question is, why is the establishment accepting so many reservations at that time if they know it overwhelms the kitchen and they will be unable to meet demand? Very disappointing experience.

Food was very good. It took a long time to get a drink in front of us, 15/20 min from sitting. Food came out promptly. We sat with dirty plate in front of us for 10 min or so with empty drink glasses. We starting to tall about getting another drink somewhere else. I think our server heard us and asked, if we would like another beverages. All in al, l I would go back and give a second chance. Service in restaurants is why I go out. I can do good food and make great beverages much cheaper myself at home.

We went to Taylor Street Tavern for Sunday brunch. It was not very busy there and the service was great. The food was typical for brunch, just fine. Big portions, nothing special, but crab cakes were very spicy. The dining area is nice and well decorated. It is located in the hotel, which is convenient for the hotel customers. The menus for regular lunch and dinner look more interesting than for weekend brunch.

All well prepared. We were a party of 8 meeting prior to a concert. We were pleased overall either the quality and convenience of this location. The steak was bit chewy but the bread pudding and canolli were amazing, not overly sweet.

Unfortunately we chose to have a quick bite before a performance at the Schnitzer, and even with a reservation we had to wait for our table. Service was quite slow, second rounds of drinks came right before we needed to leave for the show. Items asked for during dinner never came. The restaurant was crowded with those going to the performance was it was very noisy, and was definitely understaffed for a pre-show crush. The meals were OK - timing in the kitchen was off as the one person who ordered the evening special had to wait for their meal while the others of us watched our food get cold. Burgers not cooked as promised - medium rare - but rather were well done. All in all not a great evening - and won't be back.

The food was good and the place was busy due to the concert that was about to start nearby. The waitress was great! Some other patrons were rude and she handled it adeptly. I would eat here again.
