"Amazing food and drinks!!! The chef is the most talented I have ever seen in the area outside of Chicago and New York. The flavors reminded me of a Michelin style restaurant."

"Disappointing. Very overpriced for what you get. The short ribs were one single rib for $35, no sides included. The desserts and drinks were great, staff was nice, and the atmosphere is romantic. I'd recommend 21 West End if you want the same great quality and atmosphere for more food."

"Our server was great! Loved the black eyed pea hummus."

"Great food and good atmosphere. Think of this as one of the really nice bars that you would find somewhere like Downtown Dallas or Phoenix. Beer selection is good with a couple of stout beers on the menu for the "real" beer drinkers. Great wine selection with wine dispensers, similar to a setup we experienced in some of the wine bars in Alaska. We went in for lunch on a Saturday, which was serving brunch. Neither my wife or I are big "breakfast people", and the lunch portion of the brunch was a little sparse. I would suggest making the brunch menu a bit more balance - as it seems to be more breakfast focused than lunch focused. Only reason that I docked one star from the review is that we sat at the bar area and as typical with the new generation of food-service workers, the bartender had more interest in chatting with co-workers and checking their phone than interacting. Were in to try some of the beers and got a flight of four to see which ones we liked best, and would have ordered a 16 ounce serving of the ones we liked, but we were never asked about it until after we were halfway through our meal. Another example of how restaurants need to have secret-shoppers on days when the owner isn't around to capture the experience from the customer's perspective. Nothing worse than trying to flag-down your bartender who is engrossed in conversation with one of her co-workers and isn't paying attention to what is going on at the bar."
