This was our first visit to this location of E&O and we couldn't have been happier with our experience. Everyone from the hostess, who helped us change tables after my wife's perfume allergy kicked into high gear due to the couple next to us, to our server Ronni, who was helpful and informative, made the evening and then when you add in the food (the crispy Brussell sprouts and kale salad was amazing), it can't be beat and we'll be coming back here again.

Good place, not amazing but fair. Pricing is a little high for portion sizes given but it is downtown. Service was great, the chicken fried rice was pretty bland but I can’t speak on any other dishes. Their sushi was good. Also special requests weren’t met, and due to it being Valentine’s Day I was hoping they would do something special for guests but didn’t. Could’ve been better but it wasn’t horrible. Just an average dining experience.

We had reservations for 5:45 on Valentines night which was also a Friday night. We got seated immediately and the food was great. We both had burgers the Sticky and the Grippy. Great service. Only issue for my date was the women’s restroom was closed the whole time for some kind of reason.

First time eating here, it was absolutely fantastic! And our server, Bella, was so friendly and helpful. Think we found a new fav when we come down from Indy.
