Took my fiancé here for his birthday and it was amazing!! The service was great and the food was insanely good. Can't wait to go back!!

The special tonight, which was the lobster pot pie, was outstanding. Chef Jason is excellent!

I appreciate the way they reimagined the space -- elegant enough but still very approachable as a "bistro" should be. Service was really stellar, from the welcome all the way through -- friendly, engaging but not intrusive, good read on our preferred pace and thoughtful recommendations. Food quality and flavors were quite good, menu had some fun, innovative options, perhaps a couple more "basics" could be helpful. The "Large Plates" were not quite as large as I might have expected. The food quality deserves a much better wine selection (e.g. not a single bottle of Champagne on list) which will hopefully improve over time. Very promising first visit -- -we will go back for sure.

Chose Penny flower for something new and it didn't disappoint. Tried a little off of every part of the menu, cocktails, small paltes, mains and deserts. Great flavors, portions and service.

The food last night at Pennyflower was delicious! I had the Chicken Tikka Masala and my husband had the Smash Burger and an enormous bunch of perfect fries. But the service was really slow. Our server was nice and friendly, but disappeared for long periods of time. Our concern about that was heightened by our need to get to a performance at Music Hall. Also the noise level was really loud for most of the time but moderated after one group left.

We didn't eat much. Lasagne and broccoli rabe was terrific. Grain salad—my wife wasn't wowed but she was expecting a more grain forward not greens forward dish. She had wine I had a mocktail (basil and lime maybe?). Mocktail was good. Service a little too chippy, chatty. I prefer quieter service. The room was in the loud side especially considering it wasn't full. On the expensive side but what isn't.

Everything was good. Not as good as anticipated or remembered but good. I wouldn't say the ribeye is worth the price $100. It was not cooked med rare as ordered but for sake of not complaining during date night we dealt with it. Also, the hash brown that's served with it is not as good as their French fries. Great drinks and atmosphere. Service was good. Might return but didn't WOW me.
Micah
We went on. Sunday night for dinner. Great experience all around. Will definitely be back.
Michelle
We enjoyed our drinks and appetizers before going to the aronoff show. Our waitress Skyler was helpful and very nice. There was a business happy hour going on which was a bit loud but we still managed to have a nice time.
Grady
Our waitress, Rachel was attentive and super nice. Our (split) salad was perfect and our food arrived in a timely matter and was delicious. My wife got the crispy vegetarian lasagna and was excellent with a very nice sauce. I got the bone in sakura pork chop that comes slices on top of a bed of rice and beans...excellent.
Waiter was very slow and seemed like he lacked knowledge about the menu. Restaurant was very loud when busy. Cheeseburger and fries, as well as croquettes, were very good but s'mores desert and faro salad were underwhelming. (Parking garage next door took an hour to get out of due to broken pay stations so that also put a dent in the evening). I have no plans to return.

Pennyflower was great - we started with the charred broccolini & beef carpaccio, then my friend had the chicken entree and I chose the farro salad - we both finished with the s'mores dessert. All of the food selections were delicious; nicely balanced and perfect temperature. The service lagged a bit and management supplemented when our server got busy - it is nice to have that support for guests and servers alike. I look forward to returning.

The evening got off to a slow start. It took 1/2 hour to get our drinks and to order dinner. The floor manager came by and things moved more briskly after that. It was Restaurant Week, so they may have had a crush of diners gumming up the works. In any case, the food was excellent! We had the carpaccio and the croquettes to start, Amish chicken and the pasta entrée followed by the crème brûlée and the 'smores. The pasta, in particular, was outstanding. We will definitely go back.
Jessica
Overall—good. The Brie was good but the dessert bread was a strange combo. The bone marrow—meat on top was a treat but the actual marrow wasn't cooked as well as others I have had. The salads and lasagna were very tasty. Service a bit slow but think that's more coming from kitchen. I would recommend and return in the future.
Holly
The food was really delicious. My friend and I shared the prosciutto croquettes and the tuna app and then shared the halibut, which was phenomenal. The drinks were also amazing. We had each, two blueberry basil limoncello spritzers and they went down way too easily. For dessert, we had espresso martinis which were pretty good. Ally, our server, was overall amazing. She was helpful, knowledgeable about the menu items, and seemed very enthusiastic about working there. She was such a delight.
