This place had a beautiful aesthetic, but subpar service, and terrible value. The cost of food compared to what you receive is so far off. The menu selection is regrettably limited. It's a no for me. Won't be back.

Ordered the crab Rangoon jalapeño dip. It tasted like cream cheese with sweet chili sauce. Not sure where the crab or the jalapeño was. Not in the dip. The atmosphere was ok but I wouldn’t go here again.

Lily is the most amazing server I’ve had here. Literally wanted to hire her where I manage. She brought the right vibe and energy to brunch, apps were amazing, and she was so attentive. I wish brunch entrees were better but worth it for the deals and

I have never been here for brunch before, but I was told they serve pretty good food. Well, the food there is decent, but the kitchen was SUPER SLOW and our server also never kept us updated as to how long would take for the food to come. It took them approximately 40 minutes to have the food ready. I hope it was just because they were short on staff at that time, but I don't think waiting for 40 mins to get our food served is acceptable, especially as no one informed us if there was gonna be a long wait. They were fairly busy when we were there eating our brunch, but they definitely need to look into their workflow. It seems like everyone working was fairly NEW to this place and they didn't seem to be fully trained in terms of keeping everyone informed and getting our orders correct. For the prices they charge here, guests should be able to expect better services than what we received. Despite the food being reasonably good, I am not sure if I would come back anytime soon for brunch here. Wish my experience here could been a little different.

Came here for a last min birthday dinner with my sister almost 2 weeks ago made a reservation online which requires a $20 deposit. The food was ok i had wings and a salad the salad was huge couldn’t finish it the wings i was not a fan of…..i think the menu has changed since i was there last but the place is beautiful inside as well as their outside patio. Perfect for date night or a birthday dinner! A few days later i realized my $20 deposit was not used towards my bill and not refunded so i called and was able to speak to a manager about it. He was able to reach back out to me and resolve the issue and my deposit has been returned. The customer service received from management alone makes me want to give this place another try i really appreciated his prompt response to the issue. Will try to come back sometime and try their brunch!

Came in between movies during the True False Film Festival. Ordered the delicious Crab Rangoon dip. Loved the mango jalapeño mojito, the Chocolate Espresso and the Darkside of the Moon-Shine Sour. We also really loved the candied bacon on the salmon burger and the burger! Service was attentive and gave great suggestions.

Lilly was an incredible server! Totally made us feel welcomed and kept our glasses full. The Surf and Turf was killer! Throw on some Cajun fries and it’s a done deal. We came here when it opened in a Friday night and we were older than anyone else by at least 20 years so we never came back. But then someone told us that they have a killer lunch, and they DO!!! I am so glad I found this lunch spot! Going again tomorrow. 2-26-24 Came again and the menu changed, but Brian was cooking and he was able to squeak out one more surf and turf! Delicious!!! Older, business crowd to impress at lunch (don’t be in a hurry). Hip, younger crowd to Tic and Tok at night.

Excellent brunch menu along with great service. I recommend the mango or raspberry moscato spritzer!! Dax was very helpful and attentive. He gave us chipotle hollandaise sauce. So delicious, I recommend that with any dish!

Management is the kindest group of people, made sure we had enough time to enjoy our stay and accommodated to our party size with no problems. I would recommend this place again and again!

Was visiting Room 38 for the first time today. We were part of a large group and the service was great. The drinks were regularly checked on, even for those of us drinking tea and pop. Their was a nice selection of appetizers available and the small plates were good sized. I enjoyed the Ahi Tuna and the others enjoyed their food. The only reason Atmosphere is not 5 stars is it was too loud for my taste.
