   Food was excellent. Service was outstanding. Our server, Linda, was friendly, informative and attentive. Good coffee, too. Bad coffee can often make a difference. Chicken and waffles with pickled jalapeños was terrific. Pancakes with blueberry compote is a must try.

   Really like this place but I notice they always try to seat people of color in the back of the restaurant.

   This was my second visit to Showroom, the first being last summer. This was great! (As was the first visit.) It has a bit of a hipster vibe, which seems to be based on the front desk and the servers. Nice setup with marble-top (faux marble probably) tables and cushioned chairs, along with distressed wooden booths. Nice bar. Good bartenders too with generous pours. Service by the bartender and our server, Eli, was spot on. The food is really nice. The menu has a very clear Southern comfort food inspiration but the cooking is more refined and not as "heavy" as one might expect from the food selections presented. I enjoyed good gin martinis to start. For dinner, my mom had fantastic fried chicken that looked wonderful, had a succulent texture and marvelous bite. The chicken is plentiful. It was served with cheddar biscuits (she loved these) and sweet peppers and hot sauce. I suggested she have a side order of onion rings, since I had these my first visit. These are extraordinary onion rings (I had one), served with a horseradish aioli. Mom had plenty of take-home leftovers to enjoy this weekend. I had the roasted vegetable salad with the butcher's tenderloin steak. Very good! I've threatened to bring my wife to Showroom in the future; she's never been. Brian V. has definitely done well with this converted auto dealership. I recommend Showroom to anyone in search of reasonably priced, not-too-heavy comfort food.

   Food wasn’t that great. Risotto is crunchy and undercooked. Waitress and staff said it came like that, so I had to pick something else. Was ok, not bad, but not great either. The staff and waitress were amazing, though! Excellent service!

    Wonderful restaurant. Love the big windows and the counter. Our server, Nini, was attentive and friendly. Adult milkshakes are, for most people, for sharing as far as the amount of shake you get. Family Meal chicken is half a chicken. I thought it was just a reference to the old restaurant, not meaning it’s enough for the whole family 😋. Huevos rancheros and the fried chicken were dynamite.

    Thank you for the wonderful review! I’m so glad you enjoyed the big windows, the counter, and the service from Nini—she’ll be thrilled to hear you appreciated her attentiveness. And yes, our adult milkshakes are definitely big enough to share, as is the Family Meal chicken! I’m glad you loved the huevos rancheros and fried chicken, two of our favorites as well. We can’t wait to welcome you back soon -- we'll be working hard to earn your 5th Star! 😊🍗🍹
