This used to be one of my favorite restaurants and I debated leaving a review because it’s normal for places to have an off night or whatnot. I’m mostly just disappointed in the lack of any acknowledgement and feeling a bit irritated that I left feeling like I was asking for too much/being difficult.My fiancé and I stopped here on a Thursday to wait for traffic to die down and it was the most empty I’ve ever seen it (which was quiet and nice). We were sat immediately, but then we sat a good 15-20 minutes watching all the tables get drinks and all while no one even stopped by ours. Eventually a server came by and asked if we’d been helped. He seemed a bit perturbed which is understandable since it seemed maybe we were placed outside of anyone’s section and he was forced to take it or something along those lines. He took our orders and had the machine there so we watched him key it all in. I ordered a salad with fried chicken on it and no cheese. He typed stuff in and then asked “roasted chicken?” to which I replied “fried chicken.”Our food came out in a pretty normal amount of time, and as soon as mine was in front of me I could see shrimp tails everywhere. I don’t eat seafood at all ever, and considering it’s an allergen and religious restriction for lots of people, I’m just sort of surprised they didn’t seem to care. I apologized and said I don’t eat seafood or something similar and they took it away. The server came back and asked where my food was and I explained—he came back with the machine and asked if I ordered fried chicken, yes, etc. A few minutes later the manager came out with the machine and took my order again and apologized for the confusion/miscommunication. No big deal, it happens.Then it takes at least another 20 minutes for the correct salad to come out. My fiancé had finished eating by the time I got my food. The server never checked in with us again until he brought the check, neither did the manager, and they didn’t offer to make it right in any way.The waiting to get assigned a server on its own isn’t a big deal, and neither is a little mixup that’s fixed quickly, but considering the length of time we waited for both issues and the overall lack of attentiveness and the fact that I came away somehow feeling bad for not just accepting my fate to eat a food I cannot stand just really rubbed me the wrong way. I’m giving a second star simply because I feel like the food is still quite good and the manager did at least come out and apologized for the mistake, but the fact that literally no one would basically talk to us or look at us until it was check time was just so off putting. I’m really sad to say that I don’t feel inclined to go back after this experience and that I miss how FF used to be way back when.

The restaurant has very few vegetarian options. Vegetarian Sandwich is not worth the price and trip to the restaurant. Butternut squash pasta has no sauce and is pretty dry.Vegetarian options: Very limited vegetarian option. Restaurant need to add more creative vegetarian options.

Variety of options for breakfast for all the cravings either sweets or savory. The service was really good always making sure we had everything we needed. The fool average, unfortunately it wasn’t how we were expecting it. The portions used to be much larger.Kid-friendliness: High chair available

Worst breakfast we've ever had. My daughter says "I'd rather go to that place that smells like farts."

I went with family for dinner on a Tuesday night and loved the spot! The restaurant has a very nice aesthetic and both the drink and food ordered were delicious! The rest of the group seemed happy with what they got too. The drink I got was called “The Clementine” (reposado tequila infused with clementine & chili, bénédictine, lime, pineapple, agave) which was amazing! The different flavors worked together perfectly. For the food I got the spicy ahi tuna poke which was also very good, but not the best ahi tuna poke bowl I’ve ever had. I’ll be back for sure!
