Took very long for single diner. Burger came out very dry, almost inedible. Disappointed for a $20 burger. Nice atmosphere, decent service

Worst burger I ever had didn't even finish it, the chocolate cake should be renamed chocolate cake pudding. Considering it was mush no different than paste in a bowl. If I was a stockholder in this establishment, I would be embarrassed and force this place to close for the improvement of American society.

Edit from Fall 2024: This place went downhill since my last visit a few years ago. The fries were cold, the waiter was kind of snippy, the burger was fine I guess but the cheese on mine was cold, and my girlfriend got an overdone burger and mine was underdone. The entrees don't even come with sides anymore for a tiny 14-16$ burger. Just go to Big Juds, it's cheaper and consistently good.

One of the perks of working downtown is the endless places to try out. Today's lunch adventure brought me to Eureka!.

I love the outdoor seating that is available. Today was a little too warm for me but the outdoor seating looks like a great area to enjoy a happy lunch or a romantic dinner. Upon walking in, I noticed how dark and romantic it is. It's not a very bright venue so it sets quite an intimate setting. Perfect for date night.

For lunch today I ordered the Eureka! salad with salmon. I did ask for my salmon to be grilled and well cooked. The salad was beautifully plated. The salmon had great grill marks on it. Despite of asking for my salmon to be well done, it was still very moist. The salad mix was very fresh, the tomatoes were plump and the lemon vinegrett that was served with it was refreshing and clean tasting. I didn't really enjoy the brocollini that was served with it. The stem was too hard and bitter. I didn't really care for it. It was a good salad but it seemed kinda basic at the same time.

At the end of lunch we did order the bourbon cake for dessert. Unfortunately, they were out of the bourbon caramel sauce for the dessert which tires everything together. The manager and our server were very apologetic about the sauce which was nice. I would have like to experience the whole dessert.

Service today was great. Our server did a great job. He was attentive and kind. Overall it was a good experience. It was a good day to try a restaurant on restaurant row.

Stopped by for a quick bite on a Saturday night and had a great experience. There was no wait and the vibe was chill. Sat at the bar and the bartender was very helpful in picking some dishes. We were a little dubious about his recommendation for the shishito peppers (breaded in Doritos) but they were AMAZING! They mixed some excellent cocktails and had great beer selection as well. Would definitely return.

I planned to trip to the city and need a place to accommodate both my wife and I desire for a good quality meal and the safety of a place that knows how to prepare things for people with food allergies like my son.

I made an inquiry to the website about their handling of gluten free and dairy free items. The general manager wrote back within minutes, providing an outline of how they approach safely, providing their food, and offering us the opportunity to make a reservation.

We arrived at the time reserved and service was prompt, welcoming, and made us at ease.

The food was spectacular. American fare is American fare is American fare, right? Wrong. The wings were executed flawlessly. Fries served thinner but not quite into pomme frittes delicacy, in a way that's well suited the truffle cheese upgrade.

The sauces, rubs, and garnishes are the subtle touches that make "typical American fare," anything but typical.

Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free and dairy free combos to access lots of dishes on the menu.

It's okay. A bit over priced. It used to be better. I feel like since covid they've gotten worse.

I've dined in before and I decided yesterday to order DoorDash. We ordered 3 burgers, fries, and carrot cake. Let me tell you if you order through DoorDash I would skip this restaurant. Their portion sizes are different compared to dining in. For example, all 3 of our burgers the patties were at least an inch and half away from the edge of the bun. None of their pictures match the portion size received. And to clarify edge of patty to edge of bun was at least 1.5 inches.... And the burgers were more than $10. All that to say if you like paying more for less order DoorDash from here.

Dining in we had a great experience. But we noticed this discrepancy and will not be coming back.

We had a party of 8 and the drink and appetizers came fast but it then took quite awhile for our dinner order to be taken and longer for it to arrive. Food was good though and service was friendly it just took longer than expected.

Vegetarian options: My daughter is vegan and there were roughly three dishes to chose from which isn’t bad compared to some places. She really liked the roasted veggie tacos and the broccolini with cashew pesto.

Parking: It’s in a no cars block so park a little bit away and walk

Kid-friendliness: My kids enjoyed it

Wheelchair accessibility: Open room doors aren’t auto but they are wide enough to maneuver

Server was also tending bar. A person in our party had 2 flies land on their salad and burger was not cooked to medium but was raw. Couldn’t get our servers attention to have a new prepared. By the time she came over, we were ready to leave.
