    Meal tasted like warmed up leftovers. We ordered an 8 oz. Sirloin. And what we got was sirloin tip roast that was tough and dry. Popover was more like a dinner roll that was hard and dried out. Not popover texture at all. First and last time we will visit.

    Didn't have a full menu for Saturday dinner. Empty and dirty. We left before we even ate.

    Had 6:00 pm supper reservations, but got there 15 minutes early .... still dark, totally deserted, and one very polite and courteous employee there just opening the doors He apologized that no bartender yet , no kitchen staff, yet, no kitchen open yet.... and no nuthin' yet ..... and he had no idea where they were or when/if things would be cranked up to host. In short .... no supper...."sorry". No worries ... we found a better place a. Mile away ... the Anchor Bar and grill with their signature original Buffalo wings. This was a first for me = simply deplorable ....full stop Not recommended and most assuredly we will never be going back, full stop!

    Angel was our server ,,, she was great . Our good was wonderful as well. We just sat at the bar and shared a house salad , filet sliders, calamari.,,, perfect. We were disappointed that we were pretty much the only ones there. It's a lovely place ... maybe it gets busier after 9.

    We came here for a date and were surprised to find the place empty at 6:30 on a Saturday. One customer came in while we were eating and sat at the bar, and I overheard our waitress/bartender tell him that the place is usually fairly empty on Saturdays until the bar crowd comes in after dinner. Overall, the food was good. We ordered a burger and a chicken sandwich, and both were cooked perfectly and had great flavor. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating to some small dietary-based changes.

    Epic is transitioning from a traditional dinner restaurant/bar to more of a night club/bar scene. We came about 8:00 and enjoyed the two hours we were there. The food was outstanding! A live band comes in at 10:00, so the moderately quiet atmosphere changes at that time. We had very good service and a good wine with dinner.

    Do not use menu website-menu it totally different, no entrees, only bar type food. Only two workers who had to man the bar and wait tables. They tried but there was too much work. I would only recommend for a burger and a beer.

    My husband and I rarely find a restaurant that can cook better than us, so to find this superb spot was wecloming!! The ambaunce exceeded expectations and the food, thank you to the fine team of chefs was commendable. I was impressed with my choice of Ahi tuna. The portion was more that substantial, but not too much. Flavors and delicacy was done to perfection. The staff were attentive, professional and gave us 5 star service. We now have a new favorite. My only critique for you will are the very limited choices, explore and add a few more, I'm sure we will return.

    Didn't even stay for dinner. Tiny menu with few choices. No wine list, wine is only sold by the glass and name of winery is not even given. Just listed as Chardonnay, Cabernet, etc. More of a bar than a restaurant.

    After having such a wonderful experience here in the Fall with my Mother, my Father & I decided to bring her back for an early Mother's Day dinner--bad idea :-/ From the moment we sat down we realized this wasn't going to be the same experience. The menu wasn't the same, which I understand may change season to season but there wasn't much of a selection for anything else, as the entree menu was very sparse. The service was VERY sub-par, our waiter wasn't very attentive (though he had to play greeter, bartender & waiter for some odd reason), we had to beg them to bring us bread while we waited for our mediocre food (I ordered the stuffed bleu cheese burger, which was actually STUFFED last time but this time was just spread on the top of my burger), the cocktail I had tasted watered down, and the table next to us actually got up & left after they had complaints as well. Not sure if they're under new management or have a new chef but we will NOT be returning anytime soon.
