What User likes about Raconteur:
Great neighborhood dining. Good food at a fair price. Especially nice to walk into the Book Store after dining. Excellent selection of books, especially poetry and children’s selections. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Raconteur:
Raconteur is a decent restaurant with generous portions, but the front-of-house service and hosting leave much to be desired. Their management of reservations and seating groups is quite unacceptable. Specifically, they significantly overstated their capacity on Valentine's Day, rendering our OpenTable reservation meaningless. View all feedback.

Love the chicken burger! Friendly service and relaxing environment to work or chat. Will return often.

Great spot attached to a great bookstore! Brunch all day and a great selection of lunch items as well.

Beautiful, spacious restaurant connected to the bookstore with a downstairs bar to boot. Great BLT and grilled cheese, and a nice kids' menu with crayons.

The servers were quite young and seemed lacking in experience; they were not very attentive and were slow in their service.
