Lets start with service, nice folks but very very slow delivery of drinks and food (30min+).. Tried the steak frites... cheap cut of meat, doused in butter and sauces you can hardly taste the meat, no seasoning whatsoever, full of fat, not the marble fat but chunks of fat.. sent it back, got a porkchop instead, guess what, same thing, cheap cut, doused in butter and whatever the dressing around it was.. pass.. In New York, this is a one and done.

Saw our waiter for about 15 seconds to get our order, never again. 15min for drinks, no check in on food, no refills, no nothing. Asked another person for sauce, didn't get it. Food was mids. Never again.

Worst service I’ve ever had. As a service worker myself. That’s all I need to say.

Nice and convenient on busy grand Ave. Friendly service and good choices of cocktails and good. Sit inside or out.

This could have been a great place if our server didn’t SPILL A BOWL OF FRENCH DIP SAUCE ALL OVER ME!!! All of my pants, my sweater, and even my phone were completely soaked in it!!!! And guess what she did after? NOTHING!!! Just said, “Oh, did I spill it on you? I am so sorry” and LEFT!!!

She didn’t bring a towel or napkins, didn't offer to show where the bathroom is or anything to help clean up what she did!! Like nothing happened at all!!!

This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!! Never coming back and do not recommend to anyone!!! STAY AWAY!!!

egg plant Parmesan was terrible, red wine mediocre, service was fantastic

Looking for a very tasty brunch, this is the spot! I had a refreshing Dessert Bloom for my beverage and the Smoked Salmon Benedict with a side bowl of polenta with goat cheese! They had me a goat cheese! The food was very good! Perfect portions! And just a note in the polenta, they understand the assignment! Delish! The service was great, hostesses were super friendly and kind. First time here but not my last!
P.s, I took an order to go for later…shhh. 🤫

Huevos Rancheros is FIRE. It doesn't look like it's going to be as delicious as it is. It's kinda simple looking but pact with hella flavor. I highly recommend it!!!!
