Ordered Medium Steak came out Well Done. Did not allow wine samples. Took forever for three slices of bread. We were already done with apps by the time it came. I usually like this place but it was disappointing to say the least. My boss said she will not be returning with our team to third place again

We LOVE this place. We went in to try their seasonal menu and had the beet terrine and the pork skewers on lemon grass. Both were extremely delicious and the dipping sauce for the pork skewers is not spicy so don't let that scare you from trying it.

Always a great time here—great food and service. But they never pick up their phone everytime I've called...maybe it's just me.

Have been there a handful of times. Always good. It seems they have turned it up a notch. Recent visit superb.

Today, was the first time we didn't have a great experience. We waited almost 20 minutes after being sat to get our drink order in. They were out of the vinegar powder for the potato wedges which was a disappointment. My medium rare jam burger was medium at best. It was hard to get our second drink order in. They were very busy tonight so we are hoping they were just understaffed this time as we have always had good experiences before.

The food, drinks and service was excellent as usual. We had the Tuna Carpaccio, Onion Gallet and drinks which were all excellent. Continually one of our favorites to visit.

I recently dined at [Restaurant Name] and had a wonderful experience. The food was exceptional—our table tried the 10oz Steak and Fries, Miso Salmon, and Linguine alla Vodka, all perfectly prepared and full of flavor. Dessert was equally impressive, with the Basque Cheesecake and Lemon Tart both standing out. The service, led by our waiter Jeff, was outstanding; he was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic, which made the evening even more enjoyable. While the prices align with fine dining, the quality of food and service made it well worth it.

If you work from home they DO NOT offer guest wifi. I like that they have a seasonal menu and a craft coctail menu. Didn't like that they don't offer happy hour.

Great food and great drinks being SOURED by one thing and ONE person. This is the third time I've experienced something like this and it feels targeted, weird, and off-putting. The same person always is involved too! The shorter, older, thin guy. I'd describe his demeanor as unpleasant, passive aggressive, and always on-edge for no discernible reason. I've been refused the option to buy another drink after I was finished eating and been TOLD to move to the bar to continue getting drinks. I've been refused to be sat at a table because I wasn't ordering a meal on a SLOW Tuesday. Now, I've been told a five-person party can't be accommodated at a table and was given an ultimatum of closing out and moving to the bar to be sat with the rest of my group. Low and behold- tables (PLURAL) stayed open and available for three hours! Quite literally, everyone else is a dream when it comes to service, but this man being one of the host's point of contacts or waiters really ruins a good experience. Love third place, but this guy makes me want to stay away! Three separate instances is two times too many.

I’m not trying to exaggerate, but, I have lived in the AV since 2015, and this was the best food I’ve had at a restaurant. My wife and I had: The French baguette, Chili Cucumbers, 2 Saber Toothed Squirrels, a Valkyrie 9, an Old Fashioned, a Whiskey Sour, and a Manhattan. For the entrees: I did the Steak and Fries. It was cooked to absolute perfection; with its delicious Chimichurri on top. My wife did the fish tacos, and WOW!! Talk about some amazing blue tortillas! What an afternoon. Do yourself a favor and make a stop here. Say, “Hi” to Christina for some amazing drinks.
Attended a local training with a large group who decided to go here for dinner. We arrived and asked for seating for 12. They said they could not accommodate us without reservations. We explained we were just hungry and had no issue being split into multiple tables. We were told none of the empty tables were available. There were only 2 tables occupied and each of those were people from our class. After several attempts at negotiating, we were told we could sit at the bar temporarily. Ultimately, we were never offered tables and after about a 20 min wait, we ordered food at the bar. While the 2 bartenders were obviously overwhelmed & tasked with everything, the booths remained empty and the waitesses stood chatting. I ordered the Airline Chicken. It was good and the carrots were excellent. One person in our group ordered a steak before me, it arrived after I'd finished and it was so bad he sent it back and canceled his order. One would think a business would embrace a large group coming in to fill empty seats, but apparently not this one. We collectively stayed this time, but ABSOLUTELY won't be back.

So we recently stopped by for lunch and had a good time.
The food was excellent, all fresh and packed with flavors.
The service was fine.
The atmosphere is what I liked best, although the location is sketchy, the inside of the restaurant is beautiful. Cozy chic.
