The food was really good, the drinks were good. The service was really slow and it wasn't because the restaurant was crowded because it was practically empty when we arrived. Our server was behind the bar most of the night tending to other things. When he did come over, it was because we asked someone else if we could place an order for additional drinks and food. When the waiter, bartender, whichever he is came over, he was very dry and simple lacked customer service. When he returned with our drink order, he spilled one of the drinks on one of the individuals in our group. He handed that person a wet bar towel. that happen to be carrying for some reason. He walked away but did bring over a fresh, dry towel. We're mixed on returning. It won't be anytime soon simply because of the service.

The first time I've experienced a not-so-great restaurant on Open Table. Disappointed in lack of service and food was mediocre. Walked 10 minutes from a hotel to arrive at disappointment.

Great spot! Relaxed space where service is old school great. Wonder meal with my son and a few drinks. Very reasonably priced with specials to boot!

REALLY tasty.

I've been craving a BLT for awhile, but I don't eat pork, and I stumbled across this place--which offered turkey bacon as an alternative! It's been hard to find a place that just offers it as a swap--I've only found a few, like maybe two other places, that offer turkey bacon as a swap--and their sandwiches look a lot sadder and they ask for an unreasonable upcharge... SO the fact that Rewind is out there letting a simple swap and keeping the price reasonable completely hooked me!

This was their BLTA, so had avocado. I asked for regular mayo (and on the side if possible) instead of spicy mayo because I knew I would want tomato soup, and I have GERD so tomato soup+spicy anything will give me heartburn.
They gave me the regular mayo--Win! Not on the side but not a huge deal, if I was that uncomfortable I'd just have asked for no mayo. I wasn't even sure if they'd do regular mayo so I was really happy.
For the automatic side, I chose the caesar salad. Then got the tomato soup separately

The side caesar salad was fantastic! Simple but filling and tasty! 10/10. One of my biggest pet peeves is when restaurants do a teeny little side salad when salads are largely comprised of lettuce.... and you get like a cup of lettuce with two croutons haha. It's one of the cheapest things to make and so many places skimp, but Rewind actually gives you a side salad, not a few sad forkfuls, but a side that actually makes it feel like you're having a rounded out meal with your entree.

The BLTA was thick and hearty and the turkey bacon tastes just like regular bacon! I do wish there were thicker, hefy tomato slices in it.
The tomato soup, which is $8, was very good. They use cream and basil. UberEats was doing a special which more or less covered the soup.

The only thing I wish they did differently is offer the tomato soup as a side with the sandwich. I understand the soup is made in-house and uses cream so I'd pay a little extra for it...
Only then, I wouldn't be able to decide if I want the caesar or the soup as my side!

I'd stressed about the bill without the special, but with the special and what they offer, definitely reasonable. I look forward to enjoying their food here again with any specials, if not today it will be soon!

This was my first time trying this restaurant and it was not a good experience. The music was sad and didn't fit the atmosphere. They didn't put my order in right and the expensive drinks are watered down. I didn't know that they add gratuity to the bill no matter the party size which seems desperate. I honestly don't recommend. Over priced for nothing special.

I wanted to all around love this place i truly did. However while the food was amazing the service not so much. There was no reason it took us two hours in there. When they sat us our server came right away got us drinks. However when we wanted to order food 45 minutes until she came back. Then when our food finally came brought back everybody's separate which okay fine but failed to give us silverware. Finally after 15 minutes with our food she came again and gave silverware. Never again came back to check on us which thankfully I didn't want to refill i asked for over a half hour ago. Now its time to pay still she hadn't came back i finally had to ask another waiter to please give us our check. After two hours I was ready to just go home. Again the atmosphere and food was great it was just the service that made it a place I unfortunately wont be back to.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Edgar is hands down one of the BEST bartenders/waiters I’ve ever encountered. From the moment I sat down, his energy was warm, attentive, and welcoming. He anticipated every need before I could even ask, offered amazing recommendations, and made the entire experience feel personalized and memorable. It’s rare to come across someone who genuinely takes pride in their service the way Edgar does.

This wasn’t just good service — it was exceptional, top-tier, above-and-beyond. Edgar made my visit unforgettable, and I’ll be coming back just for him. Thank you for raising the bar, Edgar! 🌟👏

I will say the food was good but the service was horrible. The waiter was vaping behind the bar, the waiter was nice but he forgot my drink. The restaurant was pretty much empty and he was either sitting on his phone or talking. While looking at the check I noticed it charges a fair wage and a 17% tip is included. So as good as the food was I would not come again because of the awful service.

We were seated and the host brought us our water and said a server would be with us soon. Edgar was supposed to be our server. He walked past us several times, and when I flagged down the host again to let him know, no one had been to the table. He told Edgar we were waiting and he still didn't come over. He was outside on his phone. The host had to take our order. We are Visiting from out of town and I would never recommend this place. The service is awful. Edgar should be fired for the way he treated paying customers. He came over after the host took our order, and dropped silverware. No apology or anything. The worst of it all is through this horrible experience they still expect a 20% tip.
