    Dining interior decoration
    Sarah D.

    Breakfast review start to finish: lots of parking in an industrial area. Home style cooking spot. Interior is standard diner and was clean. Service was friendly and quick. Meal prices are slightly below average with an average plate cost of $8. Food portions are above average. Food wait time was a bit long but food was hot and absolutely delicious. I ordered vegetarian omelet with rye toast dry and apple juice. I requested half order of omelet and agreed to pay same price. Husband had Denver omelet with sourdough and apple juice. Food came out perfect, however, chef does not prepare half order omelets which was disappointing because I threw away at least half of the tasty omelet...and I hate food waste. Overall fast, friendly and good diner food. Recommend for anyone who wants some good portioned home cooking at a great price. Unfortunately no lunch review available.

    This restaurant is pretty good. The staff is welcoming and nice. The food is good, my only complaint was the portion size for the price doesn't mesh. But it was tasty and we'd definitely come here again.

The ambiance was great, and they have a lovely patio area that would be perfect on a nice evening.

I had read that parking can sometimes be a challenge, but since I came in the early afternoon, it wasn't an issue at all. Between the food, drinks, atmosphere, and service, this was a fantastic experience. I'll definitely be back.

The Windsor Chicken Sammie and the grilled chicken kabobs are an easy 5/5--incredibly moist, flavorful, and well-portioned. Plus the Fattoush salad with that dressing was absolutely amazing for you olive lovers. The devil egg dip, as oddly as this sounds, was overflavored. It's a great concept and I'm sure somebody would love it, just not me. Now for the Mac and cheese, it's hard to get a good one while dining out. But, at least I could tell there was seasoning on the pasta. Maybe some onion and garlic powder is what I tasted? Lastly, the chocolate crinkle for dessert is for those who love chocolate and aren't monitoring the sugar content. It was gooey, chewy, and oh so yummy!

Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. Our waiter was rude, our water glasses were consistently empty, and she didn't check on us. When we asked questions about the menu, she responded with a blank expression and offered little help. We made our reservation specifically for the live saxophone music, but when we arrived, there was none. When we asked about it, we were told the musician was running late and would arrive later. We waited until the time we were given, but they never showed up. This was incredibly disappointing, as live music was the main reason we made the reservation. Our waiter never mentioned anything about it, only the hostess informed us, which we appreciated. She also kindly refilled our water. Additionally, when we made the reservation, it stated that CityScape parking would be validated. I handed our ticket to the waitress, and she was gone for about five minutes before returning it and saying it had been validated. However, when we went to leave, we found out it had not been validated, and we had to pay for parking. Overall, the experience was very disappointing. Because of the poor service, lack of communication about the live music (despite it being advertised), and the parking issue, I would not return.

    Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys…read more That's what was playing on the old jukebox as we made ourselves comfortable in what is a classic, back-in-the-70s, non-pretentious, neighborhood dive bar. The place is right out of a movie (maybe "Roadhouse" or "Urban Cowboy minus the mechanical bull). It's part biker bar, part honky Tonk, pub, and cocktail bar. We came for the burgers and were not disappointed. They were absolutely solid and worth it in every way. The nice, fresh beef patty was grilled to perfection and set in a soft bun with all the usual trimmings. I'd recommend you add thousand island for an extra touch of goodness. The resulting burger was juicy and meaty and drippy and excellent. It was not a throwaway "bar-food" item. The menu has a lot of great things in it, including sandwiches and all manner of comfort food and bar staples. A big surprise were the onion rings and ranch dressing. They were some of the best I'd had in a while. I found them better than the fries which were fairly standard. Others have complained about the service, but ours was really good at lunchtime on a weekday. Our server was also the bartender, and she was attentive and nice, albeit busy with all the workers that frequent this joint. It's filled with a mix of blue-collar, cops, office people, truckers, bikers, and just plain folks. And they play some great songs on the jukebox. Definitely worth it. And try one of the burger variations on the menu (with bacon or mushrooms, avocado, etc).

That said, my experiences with service have been inconsistent. My husband and I came in for breakfast one morning and, while the server seemed to be doing his best, he appeared overwhelmed and possibly understaffed. It took quite a while before we were greeted, and service throughout the meal felt slow as he juggled multiple tables. On a separate visit, I ordered takeout. Unfortunately, the hostess who greeted me wasn't very welcoming, and there was another noticeable wait before my food was ready. The pricing is a bit on the higher side, but I will say the burger itself was excellent--great flavor, a nice char, and a generous portion of fries. Overall, this place has a lot of potential given its atmosphere and food quality, but improving customer service--especially front-of-house friendliness and efficiency--would make a big difference.

The staff was rather quiet and dull. No one really interacted with us. We said less than 3-4 full sentences with the server. The food was good. We got the bread board. The fig jam is incredible. The salmon with zater seasoning tastes blackened but the citrus bourbon glaze made the dish. The risotto was the best dish! It would be better if the carrots and asparagus were chopped up and in the risotto. The risotto was so flavorful. Shrimp was good but please take off the salad garnish because it has no dressing and just felt like it was there to fill the bowl, but we would order it again! I would come back but it wouldn't be a staple. The food was great but there was no experience for this price.
