One meal was really good, the scallops. But the steak was tough. The server was very nice and helpful and had great suggestions and knew her product offers. All and all it was better for me than my date.

Our service was not great, no water refilled etc. My salad came with large leafs on a small plate with the chicken breast laying on the side. I asked the server to have the kitchen chop it up for me and was told it was a firm no b/c of ruining the presentation. What a mess!

My girlfriend and I go there a lot. We usually split the Caesar salad, which is the best ever Caesar! Today we split the avocado toast. It was pretty bland for our taste. We usually think of avocado toast as having some sort of little kick, but this had none. Salt and pepper helped a little, then we asked for some aoli, which was chipotle mayo, which also helped. But we both decided that we wouldn’t order it again.

The service and food were outstanding as usual. Came on the special "fast food" Sunday Brunch event and it was quite fun.
