I made reservations for my wife and I to have dinner here at 7pm today. When we arrived it was loud and packed. We were seated in the bar, which was weird given we made reservations. Our server appeared to be the only one working the tables at the bar which easily had 70 plus people in it. Our server came over after we had sat there for 10 min, told us she would be back with waters and disappeared for another 10 min. When she returned she said she was waiting on cups but took our drink orders. A few min later she returned with water but no drinks. After 30 min my wife and I got up and left. For the amount of money they charge for food and drinks this place needs to do WAY better!!! If I’m going to pay $200 for a meal, I expect to be seated at a table, in a dinning room, where I can hear the other people at the table speak not get seated in the equivalent of a wannabe upscale adult dive bar. The sad part is that my wife and I don’t get to go out much so when we do we try to do something nice together. Sadly this establishment ruined our evening. I will never go there again.
It's the only restaurant my whole family will agree on! The food and service are consistently fantastic. I appreciate their frequent changing drink menus and food offerings. The bar and windows throughout give it an open, modern feel. Can't wait for summer when they open the large front windows...
This place is awesome! The cocktails, food, service, everything was excellent. We will definitely be coming back!

I was very disappointed at the service that I received at this establishment. I had heard great things about it so I decided to give it a try. After waiting 10mins to be seated in an almost empty establishment and finally able to get someone's attention who didn't ignore me, I was shown a table were I waited another 15mins and no one came to offer any beverage service.
After having enough of this unsatisfactory experience, I spoke to Dan the manager who engaged me and tried to remedy the situation with a giftcard.
I politely declined, but advised him that with the almost empty resturants that service should not have been that unacceptable. He agreed and asked me to please come back and give them another chance.
I travel and dine out alot, but expected more in my own local neighborhood. I was truly disappointed.
KUDOS though to Ula, the waitress who encourager me to come back for a better experience.
Currently not interested in returning, maybe next year I'll give them another try.

The steaks were cooked to perfection as always. The halibut was tender and flavorful with a risotto that didn't take away from the fish. The new non-alcoholic drinks are just what more restaurants should be offering for those who cannot drink.
This is a neighborhood favorite of ours.They give you a nice size salad with your meal, have a nice selection of apps and entrees. Would recommend it for a pleasant Di I g experience
We were just there for the first time. We ate at the bar and the bartender was very attentive. I had the Italian pizza and it was great. I love Arugula on a pizza, just like what we get when we're in Italy. It was a slow night in the middle of the week, so it was quiet and laid back. My only complaint is the lighting. I think some restaurant owners underestimate the importance of lighting. It was way too bright in there. My husband and I both feel that it would be a very cool place if I wasn't so bright.
This was my 4th or 5th visit, all the previous were good. This visit was just ok. The entertainment was already under way by 7 pm, but was way too loud for any conversation to be heard. The food was excellent except for my steak which, for some reason, when I cut into it, smelled like it had been marinated in a sewer. The rest of the food (calamari, halibut, pizza, short ribs) was delicious.

I went here with a group of friends for bingo because the Bingo at Emil’s was canceled.
The waitress was very kind but when my food got here, specifically the Mac and cheese, the cheese had a black liquid in it. I asked the waitress if it was ok to eat and she said no and brought me another. In the new dish there was still a little black liquid but my friends and I ate it anyways. The friend and I that ate it were very sick and we believe it gave us food poisoning.
When I called the manager he apologized and offered to send over a $50 gift card to rectify the situation. After a week of him not sending it, I called and emailed to no response from the manager.
Disappointing as I like to support local restaurants.

Layout is completely open and hard surfaces. Jazz trio in the bar made the noise level just shy of a 1989 Motley Crue World Tour concert - had to lean across the table to hear each other speak. Filet mignon was ordered medium-well to account for a little undercook, but came bleeding on the plate. Server was attentive - when we could get his attention. I did appreciate that the manager comp'd our appetizer for the filet severe undercook. Premium pricing for a less than premium experience
