Insert Beacon Public House, a true hidden gem and must-visit if you're in the neighborhood. While yes, it is inside of the now Graduate Hotel, it stands alone as a quality eatery regardless. Parking in this area is super tough, but it's right off the Light Rail station, so that might the most ideal plan. A few spots are available outside if you're lucky! The interior is well decorated with large booths spanning one wall and plenty of tables covering the rest. Mostly college student servers, but they've always been great when I've headed here for a bite! American food, well done and not pretentious, fills out the menu! On my most recent visit, I enjoyed the Short Rib Dip with Sweet Potato Tots! The large portion of meat and cheese were perfect for dipping in the accompanying au jus which also included caramelized onions stacked inside. The tots were crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, which offered a lovely sweet/savory pop between bites of my sandwich. Can't wait to come back and try something new!

I visited Umbra during Restaurant Week and had a really enjoyable dining experience. The atmosphere…read morewas upscale yet comfortable, and the service was attentive from start to finish. I began with the mussels y chorizo, and while I was a little disappointed that the chorizo wasn't very noticeable, the mussels themselves were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. For my entrée, I ordered the smoked brisket, which was easily the highlight of the meal, and we finished with the crème brûlée that was the perfect way to end the night. Overall, the great service and standout entrées made this a restaurant I'd happily come back to.

We were promptly seated upon arrival, and our server greeted us quickly with waters, which made for a great first impression. One thing that felt a bit off was the limited cocktail selection--there wasn't a printed menu, and availability was communicated verbally, which made it slightly unclear. That said, our food order was taken quickly and arrived even faster, which we really appreciated given our tight timeline before the concert. The service overall was attentive, polite, and efficient. I'd recommend Umbra if you're in the area and need a convenient pre-event stop.

Didn't even need the sauce. Staff were welcoming and friendly.

Before we even got there, we could smell this place, a GREAT sign! The hostess was lovely and guided us to our seats right away! The first thing I noticed was the decor is slightly dark and moody! Perfect for a romantic date! Plenty of candles flickering on each table! The kitchen is open, so it was fun to watch! Our only complaint is that the tables are fairly close together and a 2 person table is so small! It kept us from ordering more food, because there would be no place for it to go! Our server was nice. She originally forgot our drinks but admitted it and got them right away. We appreciated the honesty. Our water glasses were always full, we were given wet naps after our delicious wings and plates were taken promptly! Food: We each started with a drink. I got the banana bread old fashioned which may just be my favorite cocktail! My boyfriend got a beer and said it was "ok." We started with the truffle fries and smoked wings in the flavor rum chili. Holy moly! Both of those were spectacular!!! The ranch was just ok, I would probably get the blue cheese next time. Truly though, you don't need to dip these wings, the flavors are amazing on their own!! For our main course, we got the 14oz New York strip steak cooked to a perfect medium and the scallops! Both were out of this world! Very well done! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone! It is truly a gem in the cities!

Went to breakfast this morning after being told it was "the place to go for breakfast" while…read morestaying downtown. Atmosphere and decor threw us for a loop, but it was pretty cool. The hostess was extremely unfriendly and seemed very unhappy. She played the game and greeted us, but never once made eye contact, said "welcome in", "thank you for coming in" or anything else that would make a customer feel like they were appreciated for coming in. From the time we walked in to the time she showed us to our table, I said "thank you so much" three times and not once was even acknowledged or replied back with a "you're welcome". She should really find something else to do if she's not going to be a "host". Serving people should be the greatest pleasure we have when engaging with those we don't know. Patrick on the other hand was truly awesome. Friendly, smiling, engaged in conversation prior to taking our order and just seemed happy to talk to us. We told him we were from Nevada and were only there because of a recommendation from a couple in an elevator! He thought that was just awesome. Food arrived and everything was really good. The hash browns were WAY overcooked, almost burnt, but that was the only negative thing to say about the food. It was otherwise delicious! I would strongly suggest this place for breakfast. The menu is really good, with a decent variety of good options to choose from. Cost wasn't bad, but not a deal either. If I was part of the management team, I'd have a serious conversation with the young lady who was hosting today (8/12/26. She's going to cost you return business if she doesn't learn how to be a host and be happy serving people.

The setting is modern and cozy with a touch of artsy vibe. It really makes for a calming and romantic evening, hence why we like to tag this spot as a frequent date night option. We really enjoy the cocktail menu at Breva, there is always something unique and interesting to try. The bar does a good job of really elevating the drinking experience by introducing unique liquors and flavors to create some really awesome drinks. You wouldn't guess by the cafe surroundings (no kitschy palm tree or Polynesian decor), but there are a couple great tiki drinks that are listed on the menu that would make this place one of the best tiki bars in the area. I had the Junglebird the last time I was here and it was great. For food, we usually like sharing a few items off the appetizer and main course menus to give ourselves a well-rounded sampling of both. The fish dip and the hummus are always good choices that we start out with and then we decide from there! Presentation of each dish is just as tasty to the eye as the flavor of the dish is to the taste buds. Everything is so thoughtfully and carefully pulled together, we always enjoy coming back!

Such a cute atmosphere. We walked in off of the street,…read morerather than through the hotel...the hostess table was across the way so we had to walk through the restaurant which provided us a glimpse of what was to come. Everyone's plate looked amazing. The restaurant at 6:30 was about 20% capacity. So no need for a reservation on a Friday night. A+ on atmosphere C on service. We ordered drinks when we sat down. Our drinks didn't come until after our food (and the food took a reasonable amount of time to come out). We ran out of water and had to flag down another waiter to refill out communal water pitcher. I decided to split 2 dishes between myself and friend. We explained to our waitress that we were splitting the chopped salad and the recommended walleye. When the meal came out we had to request plates to split. We were given a teacup plate?!? That would fit an appetizer. B- for food= The walleye had a high price point but was highly recommended. It came out and I wanted to scream "where's the meat?" The filet was about 1" wide and 4" long. It was underwhelming for sure. The chopped salad was Ah-mazing. Overall, food was hit or miss. Service has room for improvement. But you'll be in a cozy atmosphere.

While there's an elevator, I suggest that you take the stairs so you can experience the full grandeur of the facility. Browse each floor fantasizing about the various pieces that might fit into your home in the future. This is truly a great experience from the moment you walk in to your last bite of gourmet chocolate chip cookie. The rooftop restaurant is a wonderful setting and a great place to entertain out of town guests or locals. I was with my daughter and her fiancé and my brother and his wife this particular evening and they live in the area. We were visiting from California and this was their first visit to RH. Neophytes soon to become devotees! My brother said it was the best French dip he's ever had and most definitely will return for more.

Check in to getting seated went fine, it was our immediate servers attitude and snarky demeanor that really turned us off. From taking basic food orders to clearing the table, this server literally had stank face, she didn't even try to hide it. I fear this was racially motivated, from the moment we sat down this server had an attitude. This was my first time experiencing something like this at an upscale restaurant. Everyone liked their food and I'm certain I'll return for the incredible vibe. They had fun cocktails and the atmosphere is truly stunning, they have a huge wrap around outdoor patio and the indoor greenhouse feel of the rooftop dining area was unmatched. I'm hoping to come back and allow this spot to redeem itself. I understand that the restaurant doesn't have control over the attitudes of servers but if you know you're having a large party for a birthday, assign a staff member that is competent enough to handle the request.
