The brisket eggrolls were boring .. literally brisket, deep fried with BBQ sauce. The steak was unseasoned and served room temp (notice even the butter placed on top did not melt). I specifically asked if the grilled hamberry sandwich was actually grilled.. waiter stated Yes. Well no.. it was pieces of toast with the insides placed between. The cheese was not even melted. Thr saving grace were the mash potatoes and homemade chips .. super flavorful!!!

My boyfriend and I had afternoon tea here a couple weeks ago, and I can't recommend it enough…read more Firstly, the owner was so accommodating; they usually require a week's notice for an afternoon tea reservation, but they were kind enough to set it up with a day's notice (my boyfriend's school schedule meant we had less time to plan). We started with strawberry iced tea with hibiscus ice cubes, which was so refreshing. We ordered a pot of the jade oolong, and it was delicious, although the whole menu is huge and the variety is fantastic. The food was AMAZING; it's all vegan, but even us meat-eaters were satisfied! We started with warm cherry fig scones (shaped like teapots!), then had loaded potato salad, butterbean soup, and various tea sandwiches (the vegan "pastrami" from The Herbivorous Butcher was so good!). The dessert tray was the high point, though: dark chocolate orange chia pudding with coconut whipped cream, their famous almond tea cookies, and these tropical fruit pastries that I can't remember the name of. My boyfriend is not normally a fan of sweets and he still ate most of his half, which is saying something! The shop itself is adorable; the decor is eclectic and cozy, and there's a little shop in the back where you can buy bags of their tea as well as other cute products. I definitely want to go back again to try their other teas and just sit and read. Seriously, this is one of my favorite places in the area!

I would like to start off by saying our waitress was so incredibly kind and nice. The restaurant…read moreitself had a nice atmosphere. The food however was less than great. We got the scallops which were ICE cold and really not that good. We also got the lobster ravioli which had decent taste but they were underdone and just chewy. Normally I would have sent it back, but the waitress was so nice and it was her first night we didn't want to make her feel bad. Let me be clear that my problem isn't with the service or restaurant itself, it was just the food was horrible.

Absolutely outstanding!…read more Ahmad just made me an ~oustanding~ dinner! I've eaten here a number of times before, but "it's been a while" since I've been in. WAY too long, as it turns out... Tonight's beef kebab was excellent, but the salad, hummus, and GARLIC sauce really put it over the top! The hummus was exceptionally smooth... the best I've ever had. I'm generally more into "savory" and less into "sweet," but the Pistachio baklava was also outstanding. I hated to "lose" the lingering garlic flavor, but that baklava was calling my name. It was totally worth it! Ahmad made it a point to introduce himself, and give me a business card. Ahmad's food, and hospitality are both top notch!

I arrived at the hostess stand and let the waitress know I needed to pick up and order. My app informed me the order was ready.

I informed them I just wanted to pick up my to go order which had been ready for 15 minutes. She apologized and came back 10 minutes later with my order. This was my second time at this location. There will not be a third. The service was horrible, I was ignored, and my food was cold. There was no offer of a discount or a coupon for when I came back or so sorry this happened.

I asked for water and asked her to disregard. I inquired about the fish and chips as I noted you can upgrade to get Walleye instead. Seemed like she had no idea what I asked as she gave the impression she thought it was something else other than fish. I ended up getting the cod as she recommended. Well, it tasted like frozen for a very long time. Chips- not the best. Instead of a bacon cheddar biscuit, the plate came with cornbread which was ok. Overall, probably a good place for drinks. Not sure I'll try again.
