    The restaurant really treated me horribly by asking to to open a table after only 45 mins being seated. They made a dinner a horrible experience and clearly did not value the $55 I spent there.

    We had dinner recently and couldn’t have been more disappointed in the entire experience. We waited a very long time to be seated even though we had reservations, they were clearly understaffed. The table was dirty and not set. We waited 45 for a cocktail and after our food came we were still waiting for our silverware and napkins. I tried the Birria tacos that were recommended by the waiter . There was so grease on the plate I assumed it was the dipping sauce, sadly it was just a puddle of grease. It was just gross. Don’t get me wrong, I like a good greasy chili burger anytime, but this was just a hot mess. My husband had the grilled cheese brisket which was tasty but also so soggy it was unappetizing. Left hungry. How does this place stay in business?

    Absolutely disappointed, the food was awful, the service terrible, they were out of so much stuff. They brew their own beer and were out of several. I will not go back and I will not recommend this place. Our Smoke and Fire that’s a fast food restaurant was 1000% better than this upscale restaurant.

    We checked in a few minutes early for our reservation and when we sat down told the server that we were going to the Kings hockey game. We ordered immediately and ordered 2 simple entrees. Our meal didn’t arrive till 7:20. I couldn’t order dessert since we had to rush and eat to make it to the game which we arrived 15 minutes late.

    This location needs a lot of attention. I stopped in on a Saturday night before a concert at Crypto. They had no business being understaffed and overwhelmed. This is the night your staff should be able to get you a drink within 30 minutes of sitting down and not have to ask for settings. Also, why were you out of clean silverware and cloth napkins? Everyone around us seemed to be just as dissatisfied with the situation. The food was the only good thing about our visit. Don't get the harvest salad. It was a heap of greens with lots of lousy dressing. I sent that back.
