“It's over priced. It's difficult to enjoy a meal when it's overpriced. I've had better service than today's experience. $17 for a basic bacon, turkey and ham club with minimal portions is disappointing. $5.99 for a side salad, $3.99 for an Iced tea $29 for lunch, isn't worth going back for. Then additional tip expense. Multiply that by 2, over $60 for coffee shop food, no justification in my opinion.“

“If you’re looking for a place that absolutely nails the vibe, the drinks, and the food, The Boardroom is it. This bar delivers on every level, and a huge part of that magic comes from Stephanie, who is hands-down one of the best bartenders you’ll ever meet.

Stephanie doesn’t just make drinks, she *creates* them. Every cocktail is perfectly balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with care and skill. You can tell she knows her craft inside and out, and it shows in every glass she serves. Whether you’re ordering a classic or letting her surprise you, you’re guaranteed something amazing.

And the food? Unreal. Stephanie doesn’t just shine behind the bar, she absolutely crushes it in the kitchen too. The in-house sauces she makes are next level, each one packed with bold flavor and clearly made from scratch. They elevate every dish and give the menu a homemade, high-quality feel that’s hard to find these days.

Honestly, everything on the menu is worth trying, but if nothing else, you have to get the chipotle chicken tacos. They are outstanding and alone are reason enough to come back again and again.

Between the great atmosphere, incredible food, and Stephanie’s unmatched talent with both drinks and dishes, The Boardroom isn’t just a bar, it’s an experience. Highly recommended.“
