Feel like i need to dress up to eat here?. Food is so good and the presentation is on point! And its not as expensive as it looks. They just really take pride in their craft.

The food was fair. Narrow menu, over thought recipe for the Chicken served in a converted old space downtown on the square. Next time I will choose the burger route and not the dinner menu.

I had the airplane chicken. The pan seared chicken was crunchy on the outside and moist throughout. The risotto was cooked to perfection with a light sauce that was seasoned just right. We had creme brulee for dessert which was heaven!

First time on a recommendation. The service was quick and friendly, and the food was great. Had a toddler with us. He had a ball. Will be back next time we are in town.

Drinks are good, and food is just okay! overpriced for what you get and probably go for drinks only. I'd rather drive to wine dive and get food I know is going to be at the level we'll pay for. The place is missing a sense of itself and lacking a personality. Maybe music or some warm decor. We tried 2 months ago, maybe try again when some time has passed to let it figure it out.

Food was delicious very friendly and attentive staff. Food quality and presentation was top notch. Nice to have a place like this in town.

My husband and I had lunch here and the food and service were outstanding and delicious! The chef was so very nice and came and checked on us and talked with us. His staff was amazing, sweet and attentive as well! Definitely recommend!

First time coming in and was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious. The drinks were amazing. The desert was to die for. The staff is so hospitalitable and you can tell they enjoy their jobs. I will be coming back again.

Wonderful dinner... Creative and wonderfully prepared all at once. We had Airline Chicken (wonderfully seasoned and tender), Aranchini (nice twist with corn) and Rum Cake. All in the amazing space showcasing Junction City's history

I came here this past December for dinner with my family. I ordered the burger with fried pickles and they came out way too over seasoned. It took the kitchen 50 minutes to make and serve the food to a table of 5. The fried pickles tasted good but the breading was way too salty. The burger was also really salty and dry, and only tasted like pepper. The price is definitely not justified for the burger, especially comparing the one that they serve at their other restaurant "Five". It was really disappointing.I really hope the kitchen made improvements since then. When the owner came to talk to me, I told him about the problem with the food, he proceeded to say that the problem was my taste, while he was tipsy.I wanted to like the restaurant but this one experience really put me off to come back to try something else.
Call Kitchen Nightmares and get Gordon Ramsey!!!Fine dining prices, in a small military town, with excellent burger joint food, and that’s about it.That being said, should you keep the exec chef, change the entire menu to specialize in only burgers (only thing remotely worth the price). And stop calling Bruschetta, “Brushetta” the “Che” sounds like “Ke” in Italian. Say it with me, BrusKetta. ?Then again, what is served here might as well be called Brushetta, because it’s not Italian at all, Caribbean J*** Chile Paste on thin toast that becomes soggy.Had a reservation, we weren’t greeted as though we did have one.We were charged over the menu price on 4 of 7 items. (Though they fixed this when brought to their attention, but realize it left a bad taste in our mouths, other than the over salted food, which affects the wait staff trying to make a living on TIPS!!!) Still, pretty annoying, delayed the full sprint out of here.If I had one thing to say to the owner, one of which we met, Justin, I’d say ATTENTION TO DETAIL. This statement may hold reverence since it claims to be veteran owned, which is the only reason I gave 3 stars. Bus the tables of diners that left, refill the water, enforce well dressed or uniformed wait staff, bartender’s personal drinks should be out of sight and not on the bar. Lastly, if you charge over the price of the menu, simply update the menu (it’s your best advertisement, other than word of mouth). Hard choices ahead, but if you keep your prices, and don’t make changes to justify those prices, this restaurant will fail. Hope this helps, and I hope this restaurant becomes successful. We will not come back until we hear consistent positive reviews.

Im really disappointed with the experience I had there. I had been looking forward to coming here for a year! When we entered the restaurant, the lobby smelled like fish, which isn’t great. My husband had made a reservation for 7:30pm. We arrived at 7:33 and there was no hostess there or staff member to seat us. It didn’t take long for the owner to seat us and he said there had been a rush right before us. Which would have been fine, but it took the staff over 45 minutes to bus those tables. I ordered a gimlet and my husband ordered wine , but when I asked the server questions about the bar menu she could not answer one question I had. Including what kind of gin they had. We ordered the bruschetta and aracini to start. The bruchetta was a brown paste that was salty and soaked into the bread making it soggy. The aracini was okay. I ordered the chicken, which was okay. I liked the farroe and the carrots that were served together. But the chicken was difficult to cut with the butter knife I was provided. The owner stopped by to talk to us and my husband told the owner that he thought the bruschetta was soggy. The owner said that the way it was made was the way he preferred it. When we received our bill, we had found that we had been up charged for a couple of our items. We were charged 23 for my chicken that was 21 on the menu. We were charged 21 for the specialty burger when on the menu it was 17. We were also up charged on our appetizers and my cocktail. (I understand my cocktail because I didn’t get well gin). When we asked our server if we could see the menu to check the prices, she brought the menu and immediately went to find the owner. After being confronted, the prices were changed. My husband was furious about the whole experience and it ruined our date night. Im really upset because I was excited about a “fine dining experience” in Junction City, but that’s not what we received. We were charged for a fine dining experience but didn’t get one. Things that could help. They should update the prices on the menu and the website. Put curtains on the back doors so guests can’t see service areas. And train the staff a little better. The bartender was wearing a hoodie and had airpods in during his shift, another staff member was wearing crocs on the floor and it didn’t seem like there was any uniform.

Overall, it was a very nice first visit. My southwest chicken wrap was delicious and fresh, and the fries were perfect. Very open atmosphere; I like the simplicity. Service was friendly. My only tiny complaint-they use ketchup and mustard packets. Not my favorite; they really need to get bottles. Overall a 4.5/5.

Way over priced. Ordered the burgers and it was very plain, no seasoning, got charge extra for sweet potatoes fries. Ordered bruschetta (that was good), chocolate lava cake was dry. When I say over priced, a burger and sweet potatoes fries was 19 bucks. Would be a cool spot if the prices matched the food. For 3 people for 3 burgers and a lava cake came out to 80+.
