    This is a very adventurous menu, classic meets Japanese and Mexican. We enjoyed our dishes which pushed us to consider dishes we normally wouldn't think to order. Everything was well prepared, service was great, and the room catches your attention.

    We love the Livingroom but we were a little disappointed in Brunch. The menu was a little disjointed. Bloody Mary’s were too strong (and we can drink). We prefer a more flavorful Bloody Mary mix. Food was average that day. Maybe it was an off day because we absolutely loved dinner there and we will give it another shot. Service is amazing there!

    This was the worst experience i've had at the living room. It was all based on the person Waiting on us at the bar. We asked about apps and happy hour drinks. I ordered an app and instead of the appetizer pricing i got charged full price. They said I had to tell them I wanted the happy hour deal. Really ownership falls on me. We asked if there was any other soup that they had other than the tomato basil, which is very good. She said they had another soup. We asked what size the bowl was vs the cup. Three of us asked for a cup of the special soup. We got a bowl and we got charged for a bowl. The response was, "that's how we offer for the special soup of the nite". Really? I think you should have told us that. Why did she not tell us that the special soup only came in a bowl when all three said, "we'd like a cup of that sou". Communication was awful. This isn't the Living Room It used to be. Disappointed.

I did have the opportunity to speak with you that evening, and I appreciated the chance to address your concerns in person. At The Living Room, clear communication and attentive hospitality are important to us.
