Lovisa WilliamsMarch 13, 2012Cool retro modern dinner. Great prices and based on other reviews I expect the food to be good.
Allan LeungJune 7, 2013Crab cakes are DELICIOUS. Do not be fooled by the tiny looking portions. It really fills you up!

Justin SSeptember 9, 2012Come on a UT game night. The wait is much shorter. BTW all I the food is AMAZING!!
Jay PechekAugust 20, 2011Get the spicy Bloody Mary made with the pepper infused vodka. Perfect for getting rid of the shakes.
FredJuly 7, 2013Way too noisy, came here during the dinner rush and couldn't hear a damn thing. I would definitely come back again, food was amazing, but they need to wash the lettuce better for the salads.
Pursarth TuladharDecember 27, 2012Do NOT leave this place without eating the carrot cake French toast.
AliceSeptember 27, 2012I wish I could time travel and eat their French toast again for the very first time. Please try it.

Stephanie SteinSeptember 19, 2011Get the remedy burger or the crab cake eggs benedict! Also, really nice friendly service!

Lisa BoiceNovember 17, 2015Chef undercooked my steak, server agreed but he didn't offer to fix it. He said, "eh, sometimes they get it right and sometimes they don't."
