The Office is such a great experience every time we go. The restaurant is locally owned and all the staff we have interacted with have been so great. They food is amazing and their happy hour menu can't be beat. The ambience of the restaurant is always so fun and inviting. Their service is fabulous. Our last visit we were sitting in the back and our server, V, was doing bartending and serving us. This did not take away from the quality of the service she provided at all. She was helpful and friendly and we had many laughs together. Also, margaritas are to die for, each and every flavor is delightful. Please please please if you're trying to decide where to go eat check this place out. We will be back many more times and I have no doubt each time will be as good or better than the last.

This restaurant is great for corporate parties, not just because you can say, "oh I'm going to the office," but also because of it's prime location. The reference to the show "The Office" is just there because of the name, but otherwise nothing else. The food menu is quite short, but after meeting there after a board meeting, we realized that the place is more suited for drinks. Nonetheless, the few items on the menu were delicious. Service is a little bit on the slower side, but the staff are very friendly and accommodating, and I got the feeling that no one in a rush was going there in the first place.

Food was not good. Margarita pizza was cold, hard and tasteless. The winter picnic was light on items and difficult to eat because you couldn’t access the flatbread without spilling everything else. Overalll disappointing but server was good.

Food and ambiance was well done. Staff was subpar, our appetizer was forgotten about and water wasn’t refilled during the time we were there. The only time we were checked on was if we wanted more alcohol. All in all the food was good but the staff made our experience less enjoyable.
