We stayed at the hotel where this restaurant is located and had the opportunity to eat here three times during our stay. Overall, the food quality was good and the prices were reasonable for the location.
However, our experience was seriously affected by the service. On all three occasions, the waitstaff openly and aggressively demanded tips, which felt extremely inappropriate and uncomfortable. Tipping should be voluntary, not pressured or demanded.
Let’s be honest: it is not the customer’s responsibility to compensate employees because the employer fails to pay fair wages. Forcing guests into this situation crosses a line and leaves a very negative impression, regardless of how good the food is.
Good food cannot make up for disrespectful service. This issue needs to be addressed by management.

The smash burger and fries were delicious.
Mia was our server for lunch and was very pleasant and accommodating! The chicken sandwich is delicious, I swapped the ranch for garlic aioli. Fries were crispy, salted perfectly, and not to oily.
Overall very nice place to stop for a bite especially right next to the convention center.
The atmosphere is very simple but is nice, clean and comfortable.

MIA was excellent. Very professional and attentive to our needs.
A shout out to our server, Mia. We were seated a bit far away from the other tables so we could have a quieter space due to one of our friend's trouble hearing in noise. She checked on us frequently and was super friendly too. The host (young guy) was very accommodating and thoughtful, took our picture for us too. Excellent food. Thanks so much for accommodating our need for quiet. Highly recommend this--great location right across from the Convention Center. Way better food and worth the walk.
Great service from Benny!

The staff is wonderful and my cocktail was GREAT. The food was just ok and the prices were a just bit high. But the location was convenient to Marriott and Cinvention center.

We came here to eat after traveling to attend a speech convention. The food was absolutely incredible! We had the burrata salad and the chicken burger - so good! Azeb helped us and she was so amazing! She recommended some delicious wine and helped us problem solve when we couldn’t figure out what to eat! Her friendly personality was incredibly welcoming after a long day of traveling! Thank you Azeb! We will be back tomorrow!
