The service was also lacking; the waitress didn't check in on us at all to see how our food and drinks were. I've had good experiences here in the past, but I might not come back again.

She and the other servers were prompt and attentive throughout our meal. The food was delicious, as always. Thank you for a lovely lunch!

The drinks are definitely the high point here, no complaints at all. The food is a little pretentious though considering it's largely prepackaged, frozen, and overpriced. Places like this are renowned for having the classic 3 overpriced tacos with mango pico with prepackaged meat, I know it is prepackaged because we tried subbing and they told us they can't because it is in fact prepackaged meat and fish. I also tried the bacon jam burger this time which the bacon jam was extremely salty, the bleu cheese was a weird choice, and the bison burger had good natural flavor but clearly prepackaged as well. The salmon is also pretty bland for $20 dollars but everyone seems to overcharge for salmon so thats alright. Would recommend the Nashville hot chicken sandwich though as it is the best thing we've had there. With the food not being freshly made it shouldn't take as long as it does, we always come in around 11am on week days so they are never busy. Also the waitress we seem to always get is good with following up but could at least pretend that she is a tiny bit happy to be there.

Our server Lisa was amazing! The food was fantastic, and we definitely plan to return. Just a heads up! Haha! read more Our server Lisa was amazing! The food was fantastic, and we definitely plan to return. Just a heads up! Haha!
