Six of us stood in line around 10pm. Lady asked how many of us. We told her six, and she said just to give them a few mins and they would let us in. She then let in about 10-15 that just walked up after that while we stood there. We kindly left the line, and promise to never go back there.

Our service was nothing exceptional. They took our orders and brought them out eventually. Only one instance of having to follow up on where one item was which was then brought out. After paying an individual, who I can only assume was front of house manager, confronted us on the amount of tip left for the "size" of the bill. He began to harass us regarding the sum left. This was an extremely uncomfortable situation and he essentially coerced us into leaving more, despite saying we were satisfied with the service provided. I would not recommend this establishment.

Hosts are not welcoming and rude. Plenty of tables open yet they claim they are full and also dont accept walk in customers. Not even a waitlist. Shameful.

The attitude of the first waitress was somewhat uncomfortable, fortunately later we were attended by a friendlier waiter. The place is good, but maybe the prices are a little exceeded.

Went to this place for brunch and loved it! It was very quiet, with not a lot of people around, but that had nothing to do with the food. I had the short rib Benny and I would highly recommend! Check it out if you are looking for a good brunch spot with no wait.

I’ve been here multiple times and I keep coming back.Service is always good and the food is decent, and definitely not overpriced!It gets a bit loud inside depending on the time and day you go, but I always sit on the patio.Really good spot overall!

A great place to meet up with people. Appies and mains were really good (definitely recommend the wings, nachos, and the DUMPLINGS!!). You get 2 tacos for $20 (which is a little on the steep side) but the Honey Glazed Chicken is 100% worth the try.

Good visit here. Pasta bolognese was delish and accompanied by yummy cheezy bread. Tuna poke bowl was tasty with a good sauce, but there were tons of greens & not much rice. Servers were fairly inexperienced but got the basics done.

Always I enjoy having food and drinks with my friends in Banter Room.I ordered the steak last time I was there, I asked for rare cook.It was so so delicious, fresh, delicate and tender.Its burger was so delicious as well.The pick me up for drink highly recommend if you like espresso martini tasting.Their service was is good but the last time that we were there the first server was really good, but her shift was over and another one took it over, when I saw her, it made me smile to ask for another drink bout Shockley she brought our bill without we ask!!!Probably she ruined our joy there because we had to pay and leave ??It wasn’t professional and i believe that it was rude tho..! I’m pretty sure the owner doesn’t like her attitude ?But it just about that server personally and I don’t take it personal and can’t wait to go there again!

Bar staff are rude, no “banter” at all. We sat at the bar .They took my partners drink order but didn’t even look or ask mine. When he delivered the drink back then asked me. The whiskey sour was gross. We told him. He defended his drink and asked if we wanted simple syrup to add. No offer to remake it. Girl took our food order. Didn’t ask what options we wanted with it. Didn’t look at us or even smile. This place is terrible. Bar staff think they are above their customers and have zero personality.
