    My husband and I ate here for dinner and for breakfast when we stayed at the Kimpton. It is a very cool ambience in the service. Staff is amazing! We particularly appreciated Stephanie who was a hostess, who was a very kind to us. The only reason why we wouldn’t give it five stars is, we found some of the wine pricing to be a little high for some very modest wines and not enough wine options at the mid to high range that are good value. That said, there are so many different drink ideas that you can certainly find happiness with a cocktail and other beverages and we did just fine with one. The food was excellent so recommended!

    We had a delicious dinner here tonight! We tried the Focaccia app and the beet salad…they were both amazing. We actually had 2 beet salads because 1 just wasn’t enough! The 3 entrees my party ordered were the Salmon, Chicken and Pork dishes…all were wonderful. The presentation was beautiful and they were very tasty! We ended the evening with the Cheesecake dessert to share, since we were all pretty full. It was amazing! Our server Tyler B. is the name I believe was listed on our bill…he was great! He was very attentive, nice and professional. He noticed when our drinks were getting low and brought out refills without us even asking. We dine out often and that hardly ever happens! The only thing that I wish was presented to us was that some things on the lunch menu were available. We saw a table near us get served a delicious looking burger and fries and my son would have loved to have tried that over the pork. Next time though! We will be in the area every 6 weeks for the next 5 years and this will definitely be a go-to spot for us!

    It’s not a Caesar salad if there are no anchovies! Noisy!

    Best Chicken in Waffles I’ve ever eaten! Light and crispy waffles but not dry and amazing flavor. The chicken was cooked to perfection. The Bloody Larry cocktail was “ok” but the coffee was wonderful!
