This restaurant boasts numerous fantastic features. It offers a plastic-free dining experience, which is amazing. The patio is gorgeous and easily accessible from the outside, making it a perfect choice for those looking to be cautious about COVID. There are also plenty of shaded areas available. The staff is exceptionally friendly, and the food is delicious. They serve organic and free-range meat, locally sourced produce, and vegetarian options. The drink menu is extensive and includes a wide range of mocktails. I especially enjoyed a refreshing watermelon juice mixed with club soda and basil.
I spent $64 on the filet, but unfortunately, after just a few bites, I had to put it aside. Was the mozzarella cheese on top simply reheated in the microwave? It certainly seemed that way. I really wanted to enjoy this restaurant, and I'm willing to pay good money for excellent food. I often travel here for business and am always on the lookout for great dining options. While the ambiance was nice, if the food doesn’t meet expectations, it’s simply not worth it. It might be better to serve the soggy vegetables that came with the burger on the side, as they made the bun overly wet and messy. My husband did enjoy the patty, which was cooked medium rare as he requested, but the rest of the meal ended up in the trash.
The food is generally very good, and the service is usually excellent. However, I recommend avoiding this place on holidays like Mother’s Day. We had to wait almost two hours for our food to arrive, and unfortunately, it wasn't up to par. The fries were greasy, and our burger seemed to be missing its delicious aioli sauce. Lesson learned: don’t visit on a holiday.
For more than three months, their phone line has not been fixed. If you call from a T-Mobile number, the call will automatically disconnect, making it impossible to reach them for a reservation. Additionally, if you try to walk in, they will tell you that they are too busy to accommodate you. Despite the time that has passed, the issue remains unresolved.
