Presentation 5/5: The plating was a work of art. Whimsical and appetizing, the chefs are to be given credit for their showmanship on a plate! Execution 3/5: In short summary, the dishes had too many notes. Rich and luxuriant, the salmon was cooked to perfection, but had many competing flavors on the plate; spring-green pureed peas fought with a separate heavier rosemary cream sauce for the palate's attention. Further, the confusing addition of bacon delivered an amateurish take on what had the makings of an incredible salmon meal. The lasagna appetizer strove for recognition against a judicious to marked heavy-handed application of truffle oil (it isn't 2005! . Whereas in contrast, the dusted strip steak was served to perfection. Service 2.5/5: Understaffed for a busy Tuesday evening, service was markedly slow and is thus the reason for the lower overall rating. Our waiter was glib and terse, though never rude; merely overworked and unsure of himself. When asked for recommendations (this being our first and only visit , he had nothing to suggest. After friendly cajoling from us, he finally recommended the short ribs. (Though we ultimately elected to try the Dine Originals selections . Atmosphere, Decor, Location 5/5: brightly lit and white, the dining room served to showcase lovely spring themed original artwork, also on offer. Music was soft and not overbearing, enabling engaging conversation over the meal. Overall 3/5: primarily driven by service, and secondarily an occasionally confused palate. In the end, would be willing to try Copious again to see if our experience was merely a side effect of the promotional Dine Originals week

No measuring, no knowledge of drinks in general. Very aloof about it all. Disappointing. If you're looking for quality drinks the are 2 very good places just around the corner.

We dined on a Sunday night, and the upstairs area was nearly empty. I could hear some live music from the ground floor, which was quite enjoyable, though I'm not certain how many people were down there. The food was outstanding. I had the burger and fries, which were both delightful. The burger was juicy, and the fries were plentiful and flavorful. Other family members ordered the Ohio Walleye, and they all thoroughly enjoyed it as well. For dessert, we all opted for the cheesecake, and it was absolutely one of the best cheesecakes I have ever had. If you're looking for a high-quality meal for a special occasion, I highly recommend checking this place out.

The chicken and waffles were amazing, though they could use just a pinch more salt. I did encounter a problem with the first piece of chicken I received, but they quickly replaced it. A special thanks to Charles in the kitchen! This is a great spot to visit with friends, and we definitely plan to return.

I’m not sure if there were more people down there, though. The food was fantastic!
