It takes a lot to impress me these days...Rockefellers checked all the boxes. The food, ambiance,…read moreservice, drinks, all hit the spot!! Our server, Nicole, was seriously top notch. She took care of the entire floor on a busy Saturday night and didn't skip a beat! She was so attentive and wonderful. We had the Thai chili meatballs, trio dip and crispy tuna. All were seriously incredible. I don't even like seafood and this tuna dish was so fresh and delicious! We ended off the night with a brownie sundae and espresso martinis and they were perfect. The live music really made the night memorable and I can't wait to come back! 5/5 on all aspects!

Stayed at a hotel nearby for the weekend and saw this place with great Yelp reviews. The place was…read morecute with plenty of seating at the bar, tables and TV's along with a small stage and a live musician on a Friday night. The place was freezing with the AC on full blast and right above us, another table that sat a few tables away was also complaining about how cold it was. We ordered the kids Mac and cheese and chicken fingers with fries. Unfortunately they brought out a burger instead of my daughter's chicken fingers along with my other child's Mac and cheese and we told them it was wrong. My poor child was starving while everyone else's food came out already and she had to wait for hers but luckily we had some fries for her from our dish to share. I got a French onion soup and you can see it was a bit burnt on top. The soup was too salty and I couldn't take more than 3 sips. My husband enjoyed his chicken sandwich and I liked my cobb salad. My youngest enjoyed her Mac and cheese.

As expected, it was a casual pub style spot with a bar and a small dining area in the back. For this Friday afternoon, it was quite busy. It was bustling with almost all the tables taken by the time we left. Our server was friendly and upbeat. She offered suggestions based on our preferences. We both ordered the same thing - burgers. They came out quickly. The burgers were big and yummy. They satisfied our craving perfectly.

I've been here on numerous occasions hoping that maybe this would finally be the visit where everything clicked. Unfortunately, it just hasn't happened. My experiences have been so-so, and more often than not they've been slightly disappointing. My biggest complaint has always been the food. My take has been it's been bland or uninspired. The French onion soup was just ok, and seemed like no effort putting this together. No provolone cheese option when I've ordered which is crazy. The Caesar salad tasted diluted, with lettuce that seemed waterlogged rather than crisp and fresh. Just overall underwhelming. The food is not necessarily terrible, but just mediocre and forgettable. Portion size is another problem. For what you're paying, the plates often feel surprisingly small. One example of this was the "Big C Burger," which was honestly a huge letdown. With a name like that you'd expect something substantial. Instead, the burger was tiny--maybe 4-5 ounces at most. At first glance you could barely even see the meat because the bun swallowed it. I ordered it medium and it came out completely overcooked, cooked to death really. The bun didn't help either--dense, dry, and overpowering the already small patty. The whole thing just felt poorly executed. Even the little details were off. I asked for olive oil on the side for a salad and what came out was clearly some generic vegetable oil. It felt like a lazy substitution, the kind of thing that makes you question how much care is going into the kitchen overall. To be fair, the one thing Faraday's consistently gets right is the atmosphere. The restaurant is has a cozy charming space with a warm pub feel. The indoor dining area although small has character and a comfortable vibe. The outdoor area is really nice too, and perfect for setting for a nice meal on a comfortable day. Service is good. I've not had any issues with any servers ever being inattentive. Occasionally some order mixups but quickly rectified. Unfortunately, that inviting setting hasn't translated to memorable meals. After several attempts over the years, Faraday's has remained one of those places that seems like it should be good--but for me, it just never quite hits.

Base my reviews off what you pay:…read more Price - $200+ Food - 5/5 - super eclectic but well thought out. Service - 5/5 - knowledgeable and go above and beyond. Ambiance - 4/5 - nice mix of upscale modern. Overall - 5/5 - the price is hefty no doubt but if you are open to trying super interesting dishes that you would never think of, this is the place. Very unsuspecting place as well. Guys that work here are awesome, friendly, they all come around, head chef greets every table and they know a ton about their dishes. Inside is nice as well.

We ended up sitting next to the wine fridge and got to interact with anyone who came by to grab a bottle from the selection they had. Food - Since this is curated menu and will constantly change, you will have to come with an open mind to try anything. Please notify your server if you have a food allergy; they were very accommodating to my table with my food allergy and notified the kitchen staff to not cross contaminate. The food was good and it was fun to be surprised with the menu of the day. We had a curry soup, hamachi crudo, surf & turf, and a chocolate dessert. Bill - this was the downfall for the night. Out of the 4 items on the bill, 3 of them were wrong. The price was listed on the menu but the charge on the bill was more; I called ahead to know the corkage fee (which i was told was $35) was charged $45; I also was charged for an extra glass of wine when ordered only one. Be diligent when reviewing the final check of the night. On to my next adventure....

The steak looked thin when it came out but was absolutely delicious and tender and plenty for a light lunch for two. The waitstaff brought us two plates and knives to split the meal. I later had a regular coffee which hit the spot. The ambiance here made me feel like I was a regular on a tv show - it's cozy and welcoming. If I lived closer I'd probably be here every day! The live guitar music was fantastic. It wasn't too loud so we could still hold a conversation. Lots of booth seating as well as tables. We showed up around 4 pm and it wasn't too crowded but it got crowded later. The bathroom decor made me laugh. #iykyk Definitely a must visit for lunch, an early dinner or coffee. I can't wait to visit again!

The space is open…read morewith plenty of seating, servers are very nice, and it feels perfect for a quick date or girls' brunch -- but not really a spot for guys to hang out and eat a lot of food. I had the yogurt with blueberry filling, pineapple, and grapes -- it tasted exactly as it looks, clean and simple. The caffè latte used Paramount Coffee's "The Perfect" beans; the shot was dark and strong at first, but once mixed it became smooth with a slight bitterness. The chicken Caesar salad bun with onion rings had a simple, healthy flavor but the portion was a bit small. Banana foster was more like a dessert than coffee, with a strong cinnamon note -- the banana flavor was subtle due to caramelization. You can add espresso if you want. Downsides: despite the name, it's not a good place to study. A lot of people come to eat, talk, hang out, and play games, so it's not quiet. Price-wise, coffee and drinks are reasonably priced, and milk swaps or small customizations aren't heavily charged, but food portions feel small for the price. They have a restroom, are wheelchair friendly, and they mentioned they own a roaster nearby and plan to start roasting their own beans soon. Overall, a solid spot with good vibes -- just not for quiet studying.

Shout out to our waiter James, very professional and knowledgeable. Pork Chop Scarpariello was amazing as well as the chicken Milanese.

I loved the au jus which added an another dimension to the flavor. The lamb was tender and tasty. My husband had the 12 once filet mignon rare. He was so pleased that it was served exactly as he asked for it. He raved that the filet was absolutely PERFECT! It was so tender that it practically melted in his mouth. He truly enjoyed every bite. Our waitress was attentive without being overbearing. The ambiance was dark and quiet. We both agree that we can't wait to return to The Holstein Grill Steak House for another meal.
