Great night… loved the band and the food was very good. I was disappointed they were out of Brussel sprouts but…it happens… Also, I ordered sugar on my pineapple margarita and received Tahine but, there again, things happen. All in all, it was a fun night with nice people, friendly service, good food and a great band (Southbound and Company)

There was lots of confusion within the online reservation system. I made a res. for 6 ppl, no problem. Upped it on line to 8 ppl, no problem. Then I received a text confirming my res. for 12. There was no res for 12 so I replied. I later received another text stating my res for 4 had been confirmed. There was no res for 4 so I ignored it. When we arrived we were seated outside in a timely manner. The patio remodel is beautiful, by the way. The food is always delicious and comes out promptly after the orders are placed. The kitchen operation seems to be excellent. The "front desk" and servers seem to be very disorganized. Service is dreadfully slow, especially from the bar. Drinks take a LONG time. Our server (Taylor?) disappeared for about 15 minutes and we had to ask for help from another. Pre-bussing is non-existent...we had to clear our own empty plates and glasses to another table. On a busy Friday night there was an unused well (bartender station) at the far end of the room. Maybe hire a second bartender? Also they were out of Brussels sprouts which was a disappointment. The place, especially the patio, is lovely and the food is really good. We WILL be back.

This place has potential to be good, but the food was inconsistent, service was poor and it was really loud with a live band (band was outside, and it was still really loud inside). I think if they work out their food issues and the service gets better, it will be really great.

The food was good and all the staff were friendly. The only thing is that they didn’t let us bring in a birthday cake. I was only annoyed as we were not informed beforehand and would have brought my own supplies. Other than that service was good and the food was good.

I really wanted to love it here.We went on Valentines day. The ambiance is relaxing and cute. They had great music and just a chill relaxing atmosphere. Unfortunately, that is where it stopped. I ordered the chimichurri steak with a loaded baked potato. I asked for it to be medium. Most of the pieces were medium rare. It lacked seasoning. The baked potatoe was a little hard. It wasn't the worst, but for $48, it wasn't worth it. My husband got the chicken and waffle. The chicken was a thin chicken breast with breading. More breading than chicken and was loaded with bacon bits. Again, it's not the worst but not worth the cost. I got a mai tai. I didn't like it, but that was not the bartenders fault. I ordered a second drink. I liked it but I didn't get it until I was done with my food because it was forgotten about. They did comp it. The waiter was nice, but due to lack of staff, things took a long time, and we didn't get the best service due to that. I do have to say that the chips and guacamole were really good and the best part of the food. The music was excellent. I don't see us coming back, but maybe it would have been better on less of a busy day.

The Flat Top Grill was not what we expected. The Website shows a nice dining setting. This is more of a bar setting. It was extremely loud and we had to move outside. The food was OK but did not exactly look like the food posted on their menu. (we had steaks and lobster). Our waiter was fantastic, that was the best part.

Ive had the ribeye & the tomahawk, both were awesome. Sides were average. Waittress/waiters need some customer service training. There were too many basic training issues to list but two easy examples are just bringing the salad out before the steak or even at the same time. Not after my main course. If i order a drink with no ice & you put ice in it, don't ask me if I'm ok with a plastic cup & try to put the drink in that without the ice. Just make me a new drink. Basic things.
