   No side dishes to go with all of the meat. Limited deserts. No omlette bar no freshly made waffles. Just a very limited brunch. The person carving the meat needs to be trained because a slice of ham should not be a half inch thick. We came for thanksgiving and it was a much larger menu.

   The restaurant is upstairs and hard to find. I didn't realize it was part of the movie theater. Our service was excellent and my drink very good. I had the seafood cobb salad and the seafood was dry and tasteless.

   Thank you so much for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize that your seafood Cobb salad didn’t meet expectations. We’re especially sorry to hear the seafood was dry and lacked flavor — that’s certainly not the experience we aim to provide. We’re glad to hear the service and drinks were excellent, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share both the positives and areas where we can improve. We’ll be sure to pass your comments along to our kitchen team. We hope you’ll consider giving us another try — we’d love the chance to provide a much better dining experience next time.

   The atmosphere was nice and the service was good but the food was bland and served barely hot. The calamari appetizer was nearly room temperature. I ordered the seafood cobb salad, and the seafood was dry like it came from a can rather than moist and fresh. My husband's steak was medium rare as ordered but not hot either. We decided not to stay for dessert.

   Great location. Food needs a little seasoning love! Mimosa was not that good either but loved the atmosphere.

   Nice place. Salmon was excellent. Steak was not seasoned. Was loud sitting near the bar, which is not where I thought they'd seat us considering we specified date night. Maybe go back for a drink but not a date night spot tbo.

   Arrived a bit early for reservation and host accommodated us without a fuss or making us feel bad. Waitress heard us talking about parking and alerted us that we could receive validated parking with dinner. Parking was free. Food was tasty and I really enjoyed my sparkling rose that was chilled to right temperature. All and all a pleasant experience.

   I had brunch with my family there and the food was great. Kayla, our server was really attentive. I had avocado toast and liked it. Others had an omelet and enjoyed it too.

   Ordered a Caesar salad especially because it came with white anchovies. No mention that they were out until the salad was brought out. No offer of any thing else or price reduction.

   The menu is limited. The service was not great for an empty restaurant. Our waiter was not paying attention to the details. We will probably not return.

    Overall, it was great. My only slight criticism is that I had to ask for condiments, such as sugar, for my coffee and ketchup for my fries, and that was the worst. You are doing great. The server was excellent as well.
