Nancy LeeJuly 24, 2013Overrated ! Rye pasta and pub cheese was great and fun but everything else was underwhelming and some not that inventive at all. Service was a bit spotty as well.
Dustin LeeAugust 21, 2015Food does not live up to expectations. The staff was in a hurry to give us the check when the restaurant is less than half full and I still had almost a full drink to finish, why?
Stefanie DAugust 10, 2013Cocktails are so-so. Food is fine. Service is rushed & unfriendly. Dehydrated cheesecake dessert just tastes like old store bought cheesecake that's been crumbled, I mean "deconstructed", on a plate.
Paul BHJuly 28, 2013Hit and miss. Fish & chips very good; beets with coconut ricotta also good, scallops meh, cheesecake meh
Mike O'SullivanOctober 25, 2014Sweetbreads are great. Honestly, found a lot of the other plates overpriced and small.
Daniele PieroniApril 27, 2015interesting plates, ridiculous portion, pretentious, absolutely not a brunch place
SandyFebruary 14, 2015The service is so bad. Given how expensive the place is and how small the portions are, you would think they would treat you better for the amount of money you're about to spend. Totally not worth it.
Jarrod SpillersFebruary 14, 2014The rye pasta was unique and delicious but everything else was only just ok
Irene MJanuary 14, 2015Service is ok, bartender is a pretentious douchebag, drinks incredibly strong, food ambitious but just ok. Try this place once.
James JOctober 4, 2014We had a fun time and food was good, but ultimately not great. Sort of a let down.
Holly StairJuly 19, 2015Had such high hopes but the tasting menu was awful and had to have a second dinner after. Maybe the burger is better?
Patrick McCandlessNovember 17, 2013Eh, not impressed. Portions are TINY. So tiny that I didn't even finish my first drink before my three course meal was over. The bill wasn't outrageous, but it was not a good value.
Jose RodriguezJuly 7, 2013Been a while since I've been this disappointed in a restaurant. Most dishes are very bland. Left full but totally unsatisfied. Won't be coming back any time soon.
