I had an excellent time at High Street, dining solo for Valentine's Day. I sat at the bar, and while the stools were a little wobbly at first (I'm heavy set), they ended up being comfy for the duration. The bartender, Adam, was knowledgeable and funny. I didn't have to call him over for anything, he was on top of it. The food was excellent, from the octopus in an nduja vinaigrette (which I'll be attempting to recreate at home) to a perfectly cooked steak with a mountain of shoestring fries to a lovely, not too sweet chocolate cake. I had the Pinot Gris with dinner, and it was the perfect accompaniment. it was a little loud, with the door to the lobby next door open. it left me with a weird mix of music - the restaurant's early 2000s hip hop and the lobby's classical music special. otherwise, it was a lovely time, and I'll definitely be back!
A fun evening. Good was excellent, service very friendly and professional. We opted for the wine pairing and it was splendid. Great Valentine Dinner.
I ordered a grilled pastrami sandwich and it was very greasy. When I brought it to the attention of the server, he had the kitchen make me another one.
It was very cold in restaurant and didn't receive toast with my meal had to pay extra. Yogurt granola did not like spice and fruit was sparse. The bread offered was too grainy. For the price complimentary pastries should be offered.
The table we were seated at had the worst cold draft ever. I was wearing my jacket because I was literally shivering. Unfortunately the restaurant couldn't shift us to another table.
Such a delicious and flavorful meal in a warm, inviting atmosphere! Our sever was so kind too.
We really wanted to visit this place because of the Michelin exposure. I ordered the squash pizza and parts were ok but the pieces of squash were too big. The chicken sandwich was very very tasty. When the staff reset a table, it would get cleaned but not the floor. Floors were dirty under the tables. We asked for selection of pastries, we were told that only scones were left. That was not true as muffins and other pastries were brought to tables around us. Unfortunately, not many items on the brunch menu.
Every plate was delicious, we tried the mushroom pizza, pastrami sandwich, and the squash/apple soup. The waiter, Eve, is so lovely and welcoming!
The sourdough is reminiscent of the best at Tartine Bakery. Front of house staff was very personable and helpful.
Wonderful late afternoon drinks and lunch. So excited to meet Ellen and get a picture with her. She has created a wonderful group of welcoming and delicious restaurants.

Loved that the menu is set so up so that you have the option to share plates. FABULOUS cocktails. Great service. Very modern feel.
Overall, we had a great experience; the lamb meatballs and black garlic knots were spectacular. However, I strongly advise the owner to list hidden ingredients like fish on the menu. My wife has a severe fish allergy and almost tried my hanger steak with 'herb butter,' which contained unlisted anchovies. We narrowly avoided a hospital visit because I recognized the flavor and confirmed the ingredient with our server. Please update the menu descriptions for safety.
High Street absolutely nailed it! The food and drinks were amazing from start to finish, and the ambience was everything — warm, fun, and inviting. We had dinner at the bar and felt completely comfortable the whole time. The bartender was incredibly kind and personable and truly helped create the vibe of the night. The entire staff was welcoming and attentive. Such a great experience- we'll definitely be back!
Mushroom soup was outstanding but grilled cheese sandwich had chopped turkey in it and it was not very good. Bread tho was wonderful.
The ambiance was wonderful. The music was perfect and we didnt have to shout to talk to each other...There were hints of good tastes so I do hope you take a serious look at your foods....Great coffee cups-love the design and taste too. But: The food was uneven and a bit disappointing on several levels....Crispy chicken bowl difficult to eat...Tuna -while peppers were delicious and the potatoes were fresh, was not distinctive- didnt taste like fresh tuna...more like canned....So perhaps try some other items on the menu. Worth going but maybe try other dishes...
