The service was excellent, made even better by the fact that she was so excited we were going to a hockey game. The food was fantastic, perfectly prepared and came quickly. I had the Irish Philly, my wife got the ghost cheese salad (hilarious because she picked the place because she wanted fish n chips). We both really enjoyed the meal. Definitely want to come back and try more dishes.

The green beans were not very warm but still good. The brussel sprouts were not warm at all and so disappointing. The fish was excellent! The tables were clean and cleared quickly, which is always a good thing. The time of day I went , early evening, was busy but not crowded. The noise level was pleasant, not too loud at that time. There's outdoor seating offered as well, but the largest group they can seat is 10. I was hoping they could accommodate my group of 15. I am sure I will return.

We lived in the One City Center condo tower for a few years and went here often.

Came here for a brunch in honor of Mother's Day. Unfortunately, I do not have great things to say…read more We had a reservation for noon, but it took 20 minutes to get slated. We were seated at a table that was clearly not meant for six people and we were crammed together. The room we were seated in had blinking lights due to an electrical issue, and it was extremely irritating. Our servers were very nice, but unfortunately were all over the place, so we had to keep making the same requests over and over again. It was not a crowned at all, so we were very confused. Now, on to the food, it was just not worth the visit. I did not take pictures because our meals just didn't look that great. Three of us ordered the chicken sandwich and agreed that it was the most flavorless chicken sandwich we'd ever had. The gochugang was no where to be found. The other two ordered the crab and shrimp grits. It looked like white mushers, you'd be served in prison. My family members said there was no seasoning beyond butter.

Sat on the outdoor patio; great scenery. Luckily it was a little overcast because in the bright sun it would have been too hot to enjoy. Our server, Sarah, did a great job. She described the drink and food menu in detail and pointed out great recommendations. Charming, funny, efficient and professional. Thank you! Pro tip - if they have branzino on the menu, order it. Sarah does a great job de-boning tableside. I'm disappointed that I didn't order it this time, so had to watch another table's presentation. It looked and smelled great! I ordered octopus a la plancha, a small plate. This is an octopus arm prepared perfectly - firm but not tough, grilled just right. It's served under fennel salad crispy fingerling potatoes and sauced with citrus vinaigrette. The tart vinaigrette is the foil for the earthy potatoes and octopus. Delicious. Crab cakes are huge. All crab - no filler - and seasoned to perfection, pan fried to golden brown. Prawns over polenta also fantastic. Prawns are huge (and 5 of them!), served with an array of veggies atop creamy polenta. Shrimp and grits on steroids! Herby spring rissoto is a great vegetarian choice. Creamy rissoto in a green pea puree is topped with veggies and a dollop of burrata. Excellent! Shout out to the corn ribs appetizer. Ears of corn are quartered long ways and prepared Mexican street corn style.

I just didn't like a lot of the options I thought they would have some interning things and then some obscure but it just wasn't really my palette :/ The service was good though they were accurate and quick. I got a bacon egg and cheese sandwich (comes on French toast) it was just okay the bacon made up for most of it tbh. Now I really loved the ambiance, visuals, and space overall so I won't knock it all the way and I'd love to go back for dinner to compare and see!

Very good bar food. Very good service and real nice bartenders…read more The locals at the bar are the weirdest people I've encountered in a bar. When we go we don't talk to anyone. I advise you to do the same. A bunch of nut cases.

After 10+ years of going to JDs with friends and work colleagues and eating mostly the same thing,…read moreI give it a meh. I joined a friend (at my recommendation) on a Friday during the lunch hour. Amanda was friendly and prompt. Took our orders - I had the buffalo chicken salad with grilled chicken/dave's way. The salad came out with minimal chicken that looked like someone finely chopped the meat and drowned what little was there in sauce. After 5 or so minutes of trying to track our waitress down, I had to get the bar tender to help. I asked if this is usually what the serving of chicken is and she said unfortunately yes. I had just had the same thing a month ago.... She offered me more meat. I said yes and I should have realized it was for a fee. More drowned chicken came out at the same portion for $4.45. Amanda then disappeared for a long while, cleared one plate away after asking if we were done (didn't listen to the answer). I was also for some reason charged for Dave's sauce. Confused. Not sure I will be back but if I am, I will not be getting that salad! Ripoff.

It…read morewas around 10pm and we wanted to sit outside but there was no one at the hostess stand, inside was relatively empty and a few available tables outside. Asked at bar and they asked if we needed wait-service. We said "no", assuming they were short-staffed or whatever, ordered at the bar and brought our stuff outside ourselves. Bar service was fast, old fashioned was perfectly acceptable, and dessert was ok too. (some key lime pie type thing in a mason jar). Overall, decent and we enjoyed ourselves, but certainly not exceptional service, drinks or food. Nothing memorable there. View is decent from the rooftop of downtown. Definitely check it out if in the area but don't go out of your way. I would give 3.5 stars if I could.....

Pains me to give a less-than-five-star review, but it was unavoidable…read more Stars for the view and quality of the food. Poor marks for service. We stopped in for brunch at 11:15am on a Saturday . Wasn't approached about a drink until 11:25am, and our food didn't come until closer to 11:55am. That would have been okay, but we were one of only 5 tables in the entire place. And when we had to split the bill 3 ways, each of us got different bills ($32, $38, and $40) even though we asked for an even split. Not super attentive here, so if you don't mind waiting around, this might be okay with you?
