   I previously went here during burger week and loved the ambience during the late summer/early fall. Me and a few girlfriends wanted a calm night out and I suggested Overlook. They were blown away by how sophisticated things felt while still being comfortable. The food was great, wine was delicious, and we stayed until close. We were greeted warmly when we left, told about the upcoming events and they thanked us kindly for being there. It made us feel very valued and appreciated. We will definitely be back!

   We arrived on time for our dinner reservation and were told by the host that the kitchen and staff were “overwhelmed” Told us we could only get drinks and MAYBE ORDER dinner in an hour? If you choose this venue- Better have a backup plan!

   I apologize for the inconvenience you experienced that night. Everyone that came in at a certain point was put on a wait, and told they can be seated and order drinks, however it would be at least 30 minutes before they could order food. Once again, sorry for the inconvenience

   They brought out a white wine spritzer when I asked for a Hugo Spritz. Then they brought out a salad w no chicken on it and were going to run out a chicken breast for me but by the time I got the chicken breast everyone was done eating. So they comped the chicken breast but still made me pay for a plain salad. The server was darling so I made sure to tip her but if I had to tip the kitchen or the bartender I would not have. We won’t be going back.

   I made a reservation at overlook for five people at 6 PM. When we arrived at the restaurant someone there somewhat rudely said oh we have a private party tonight so we don’t have any dining options even though I had made a reservation through OpenTable. they were rude and did not apologize at all. We were very disappointed.

   We were in town to see Creed and had dinner at Overlook first. Tonya was awesome and really helped get our night off to a great start! She was so fun and attentive. The food was excellent, the restaurant was very accommodating to my allergies (gluten, dairy, egg.)

   Service was awful and the kitchen was sending out the wrong food to everyone. The drinks were good, so if you go there, just sit outside and have drinks; skip the food.
