    Overall it was fine. Seemed like every question we asked came with a firm no. We sat upstairs outside. We asked to move to a table without Sun and was told no. Once you’re seated you can’t be moved. We were the only ones there at the moment and hadn’t even had both cheeks on the chairs. Next was do you have sugar free syrup? Again no. Then can I have egg whites instead of whole eggs, again no. I understand it was not my servers fault but boy there were a lot of no’s. It was fine the food was good but I don’t think I like to go somewhere that is so restrictive and inflexible. I ordered the buffalo Bloody Mary because I saw the blue cheese stuffed olives and when I got my drink it was regular olives. At that point, we had waited long for everything and had had all our no’s and not eaten yet so I just drank it and moved on. My husband asked for pancakes and got chocolate chip. Again he ate them but we waited forever for our meal so he was hungry.

    The waitstaff was very non-attentive. We had to request silverware and repeat requests for condiments that did not come out with our meals.

    The wait staff were woefully inattentive - the younger members were trying to do a good job, the more senior staff were indifferent at best, chatting inside with the bar tender. We waited ten minutes for a menu, ten more for drinks to arrive and the deck was not busy - a third of the tables were occupied.

    Reasonably priced, comfortable seating. The entire staff were very friendly & helpful. Food was fresh & menu varied & interesting. The foccacia & oil at the table was delicious & a step above plain bread & butter! Not sure if you had an elevator, but my 86 year old aunt had to climb 2 flights of stairs to the restroom, ouch. Ambient noise level not too bad considering the very high ceilings. I would highly recommend this restaurant to all. I was very pleased to see a mixture of families & same sex couples plus a diner with a service dog. Very welcoming atmosphere. Thank you 😃

    Good food, but service was slow as was the food to come out. We never got our appetizer before entrees came, so we asked for it to go and still ended up having to wait for that and the check well after finishing our food and drinks. Probably wouldn't choose to come back, but wouldn't avoid it either.
