Service started off great. It was very busy, so it got a little more chaotic. Because everyone was rushing to seat, greet, and turn over tables while placing food down, our order got mixed up with table next to us. The table next to us had sat down 15 minutes after us. They quickly resolved the issue once they knew, but was hard to flag down our server. It was very busy, so it was hard to hear the person across from you rather than the table next to you. Overall the staff was friendly, but I would not recommend for a date night or large parties because of noise issue.

Great food, especially for the price! Service was slow at times (took long), but we weren’t really in a hurry. We would definitely go back!

Food and concept is great but service is extremely slow. They actually brought out our salad at the same time as the steak and then took 45 minutes to bring the 2nd serving of steak out. We didn’t intend to be there that long but because of the delays we were there pretty late and they turned on the brightest lights as if it’s a bar doing last call. It was very off putting especially since we had no control of being there that long due to the service.

I had a fantastic experience here - our waitress Megan was awesome, and eager to answer our questions. I got the vegan mushroom steak and it was rich and flavorful.

“Steak Frites Guys Approved” $34 Pre-Fix with salad and generous 2nd portion at no extra charge. The meat was cooked to Medium Rare Perfection as the name advertised. The sauce was delisously smooth, and ample with a small carafe and ladle left at your table during the 2nd Portion. The Frites Char - FC - Light/Dark Golden. $16 Tito Slightly Dirty Tito Martini. Excellent Server Yasmin, she was helpful, thoughtful, and considerate of our time. Great Value! Bon Appetite!
