Consistent food and service, fairly priced. Staff is clearly well trained and will often greet you and ask if you need anything or if you are waiting on an order. My only complaint is they almost never include utensils for online orders (even when you check 'Include utensils', so I hope you have a spoon if you order soup.

Also, not sure if they are under contract with Mendicino's or what, but they have useless "valet parking" some days,...

Food is so good.

Service is good and the staff are constantly on a rotation for cleaning tables, and are friendly while doing it. Food runner was also very kind and helpful.

I got the Chimichuri Steak sandwich( without bacon, and I changed the bread for Sourdough)

Love this place! Usually so much flavor. Always a bit odd if you go "too late." It feels as if they are trying to get rid of you. Suggestion to close earlier if you want to leave earlier instead of making guests feel rushed and unwanted.
