    Veg Benedict
    Lucy B.

    Tried out Brunch Snob for a Saturday morning breakfast. We were seated quickly but promptly forgotten about. When we did order, we chose the classic Benedict and a veg Benedict (green tomato and avocado). Both came with a side of spicy potatoes (which were spicy!). Overall the food was okay- there was ample hollandaise sauce to go around but it lacked flavor. The atmosphere left something to be desired, however, we had a very friendly server and the price was right.

    I may have had the best chicken fried steak ever in this AZ brunch spot! And this is coming from a native Texan...I'm still shocked. It was so yummy and a serious ribeye! Very cute brunch spot with funny decor and lots of pink. My brunch mate had the short stack of pancakes and she ate it all. She's a pancake connoisseur and she loved them. I had a single blueberry pancake and it was good. And I so love that they were able to make me hard boiled eggs...sometimes I just don't have the energy nor patience to go back and forth about how I want my eggs scrambled soft/medium with no brown spots and really scrambled and not fried. I know, I have issues. But they accommodated me! I got a little confused when trying to find the women's restroom and then had to say duh! Eggs! LOL! I don't live in AZ but can't wait to eat here again! We'll be back!

    Great food and unique pairings. Chicken fried bacon is awesome and their cinnamon buns pancakes delicious. Great service and short wait (even on a Sunday morning). Loved it!

    Smoked Brisket Benedict and Snob Berry Refresher mocktail.
    Jeremiah W.

    This place is absolutely phenomenal! I sat at the bar and had a Snob Berry Refresher mocktail and the Smoked Brisket Benedict with spicy potatoes and the brisket definitely didn't disappoint! My server Dominic was very accommodating and knowledgeable!! Then I grabbed a vanilla latte to go which was perfect!

    Absolutely livid walking out of Brunch Snob right now. My husband, myself, and my 4yo and 6yo kid walked in and put our names on the wait list with a 20 min quote. Keeping an eye on our place in the wait, we finally saw a table open up. The family that checked in right before us had been seated and I knew we were next. The hostess grabbed the menus, walked right past us and sat the family that came in after us. When I asked him why we weren't seated, he said that the family he just sat was ahead of us. Forty minutes of observing our place in line... please do not lie to us. I have kids crying because they are hungry, an AC in the restaurant that just wasn't keeping up with this heat... we left because although we may have been next on the list, this experience left a terrible taste in my mouth. Do better. Be prepared for the weekend brunch rush.

    The Monte Cristo with hash browns
    Mike M.

    By far the best Monte Cristo I've ever had. I used to think Chompie's was the best, but this one is so much tastier than the one Chompie's makes. The extra fried batter on the outside is a little overdone, but you can crunch it off onto your plate. At the same time, they have the worst hash browns I've ever had. Not soft, not crunchy. They're almost uncooked like the compost pile of potato peeling. BUT, there are other potato options that looked better. Lots of other great looking dishes to try here. Just skip the hash browns.

    BYO omelette with spicy potatoes and sourdough
    Teena M.

    The food was delicious as always. The portion size is so huge. You definitely can share but because there are so many choices it's hard to order just one meal. The cinnamon rolls are huge but very very sweet. The coffee is just regular diner coffee nothing to write home about. But their mimosa flight was delicious. The service was good but not friendly. She was efficient and patient but just didn't give friendly vibes. The place is super cute and was very clean. The bathrooms were clean which is very important to me.

    The food was great and so was the service.the vibe was great too. (Depends on Your company mines was great)

    Nicole R.

    Love, love, LOVE this place! The egg white delight wrap was delicious and the fruit was super fresh. Ransom, the host, Absolute legend. Made us feel instantly welcome. Our waitress was just as great--friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. The vibe is cozy and lively (a little loud, but in a fun, bustling way). Clearly a popular spot--and for good reason. If I wasn't just passing through I would definitely come back.

    I overall enjoyed my experience at Brunch Snob (Uptown location). It was a bit loud inside, so my friend and I chose to sit outside, which ended up being much more enjoyable and comfortable for conversation. One thing that was a bit of a bummer was the waitlist process. I joined the waitlist on Yelp and wasn't aware that I still needed to check in once I arrived. On top of that, the Yelp queue and the restaurant's actual queue seemed inconsistent, and the "busy time" listed on Yelp wasn't accurate. The wait ended up being longer than expected. That part was a little frustrating. That said, once we were seated, things moved quickly. Food and drinks came out fast, and the service was solid . Our server was attentive and checked in on us regularly. I really enjoyed their coffee, and the portion sizes are decent. I also think the food is fairly priced for what you get. I ordered the Hillsbery Scramble and subbed sausage for bacon, and it was so good. Definitely comforting, hearty brunch food done right. I would return to this location.

    Tito's Lemon Drop
    Jordan J.

    Came in, music was loud but not too bad. The room had a lot of chatter and convos. Sounded like people enjoying their time. We were immediately greeted by a gentleman names Ransom. Big smile and good energy. They asked us if we wanted inside, outside, or first available... We picked first available. We got sat outside, order drinks, then our food... After about 30-45 minutes... We started burning up and decided to ask if we moved in. They didn't make it seem like it was a hassle, they were very accommodating and helpful. Special shout out to Ransom and Reec. Ps- sorry I forgot to take a picture at the beginning of the meal... We were hungry.

    MotherClucker
    Sarah G.

    One of my favorite breakfast dishes is the Mother Clucker from Brunch Snob. It's such a savory dish and I love how the gravy and waffle taste together. The chicken thigh is always so crispy and flavorful. I never get tired of ordering this meal when I visit brunch snob. The decor is cute and each time I have went , the customer service has been superb!

    Liquid pancakes made me laugh
    Sarah S.

    I found brunch snob because I needed a spot that allowed dogs. I love the name of Brunch Snob and as soon as I saw the menu and all of the selections I was sold! There was short wait when we arrived despite seeing many tables but the guy inside said he would be right out and when he finally came out he said he hadn't forgotten about us. The patio is right in front and basically the restaurant is in a strip mall so if you are looking out you are seeing the parking lot, luckily the music was really good so that made me happy. My dog was really hot when we arrived and after we finally sat down and were waited on, I asked if she had a bowl of water for the dog, and she said yes, but what would you like? Ok, I want a Bellini -- after at least 5 or more minutes (it felt really long while my dog was panting up a storm) she finally brought a bowl out for him with water -- and put it on the table... ok she didn't want to bend over, that's fine... While we were waiting to order we saw them come out with a cinnamon roll the size of someone's head. We had to get that for sure -- originally my mom was going to get the "big ass" cinnamon roll French toast but we decided to split the actual cinnamon roll and she would get avocado toast. I got the "build your own omelet" with pepper jack, avocado and salsa with hash browns and sourdough toast. Mine was good -- no complaints, nothing amazing but good. My mom's "toast" however was not as advertised "Thick-cut 12 grain TOAST" -- first of all it was a piece of bread, maybe sourdough -- untoasted -- it was not 12 grain and therefore could it be considered avocado toast? We waited to report it to the waitress and finally after my mom had basically eaten the avocado because she was so hungry and they weren't anywhere to be seen --finally when we got her attention and showed her the soggy slice of bread she apologized but my mom was already done -- there was no offer to remove it from the bill. It is really too bad because this place is super cute, and I really wanted to like it, and it was actually quite expensive, IMO.

    Lylo has some awesome vibes, but it's an overpriced pool bar. If you want the tropical, pool-side…read morevibes, those prices might be worth it to you. Just keep an eye on how much you're spending! There's a lot of spots for improvement here, but I'd also say that Lylo is one of the few businesses I've ever seen do such a visually-great escape out from their pool area. If you're here for the escape and temper your expectations for food or drink, I think you'd have a good time. There are a TON of mosquitos here, so prepare accordingly. The bar and hotel lobby didn't have bug spray nor any for sale. The nearby liquor store does have some for sale at less than a block's walk. (The pool is hot mid Phoenix summer. The pool itself felt closer to a hot tub than a refreshingly cold pool. I'm told this is normal for pools in Arizona in the summer.) PROS: -All of the drinks are really pretty, visually, and with the pool, you have a great mecca for social media photos. -Despite the ridiculous 110+ Phoenix heat, we were relatively comfortable in the shaded restaurant area with the misters. We could still see the pool, but we weren't baking alive. -Pool bathrooms were clean enough. There were lots of puddles and toilet paper on the ground, but nothing was horrific or moldy like some pool bathrooms can be. Spacious stalls for changing too - though I didn't see any shower or changing areas. -The pool area itself is pretty! It makes for gorgeous Instagram photos, and Lylo knows that. There are lots of little spots (a camp sign, a chair off on its own, all the loungers, etc.) that make cute photo backdrops in addition to the pool itself. -There is a collection of inflatable pool toys in the corner that seem to be open for guest use. CONS: -Water bottles are not allowed at all - not even sealed disposable plastic ones from the grocery store. They'll store them for you, and you can fetch your own water with disposable plastic cups while you're here. -The misters in the pool area were broken. With the heat, we chose not to actually use the pool, and instead stayed in the restaurant, shaded area with misters. -All of the on-menu drinks are pretty sweet and not super boozy (at their price points). It's easy to go through quite a few at their higher price. Make sure that you're spending intentionally. -We weren't in love with the food we ordered. It felt like frozen food reheated and served to us. To be fair, that's about to be expected from a pool bar, but it was still something to note at the prices and with nearby restaurants walkable. -Service is there. I wouldn't say it was friendly or welcoming, but the servers checked in often in-between talking to people in swimsuits or joking with friends. I rarely waited for anything, but I didn't feel like a valued guest. -The fabric of the chaise loungers and lounge beds are stained. I saw some employees hauling off some of them and shoving them into the back of a fabric cleaning van, so I'd assume they rotate in and out and have to deal with a ton of spilled drinks.

    My sister and our niece were visiting me from out of state. While visiting they wanted a pool day…read more Even though I have a pool at my complex I wanted to enjoy myself with them, so I searched for the perfect spot to allow us to have fun together. Lylo Swim Club was always top of mind but I still searched to see if there was an option closer to where I live in North East Phoenix. Ultimately Lylo Swim Club was what I chose and I am very glad that I did. The fan mister gave us great comfort and the pool was the perfect temperature for us all. The popular Dole Whip drink did not disappoint we all three ordered one. Also the food was delicious and our server Miguel provided us with stellar service! I highly recommend that you book a pool side lounge or daybed for your next gathering.

A friend and I originally planned to meet at…read morethe 7th Street location at 6 p.m., which is still listed on their website as one of two locations. I arrived a bit before 6 to find it closed, no sign on the door and nothing online stating it had closed. So we headed downtown to the second location. I arrived about 6:10 pm and was asked if I had a reservation. I explained that we went to the other location only to find it closed and when we called the only number on the website to make a reservation (earlier in the day), no one answered the phone. We called multiple times. The guy at the door informed us the other location had closed and he couldn't seat us until 8 pm unless we wanted to sit at the bar. I asked to speak with a manager and was told there was no manager there. A restaurant should always have a manager or someone on site empowered to address customer concerns. We agreed to sit at the bar. First we ordered cocktails for $17 each. While they were tasty and refreshing, they had virtually no alcohol. I ordered the Kra Pow and, on the server's recommendation, chose the pork belly. My friend ordered the Pad Ki-Mao with pork belly. After waiting 30-45 minutes for the food, it finally arrived. Mine was dry pieces of pork belly, dry rice, an egg and three cucumber slices, no sauce whatsoever. When I asked for sauce, I was offered soy sauce and hot chili. My friend's noodles were tasty, but she also thought her pork belly was dry. The server, who was also the host and bartender didn't check in on us a single time during our meal. Between the outdated website, unanswered phone, lack of management and service, long wait and underwhelming food and drinks, the entire experience was extremely disappointing. I expected much more from this place.

    LeDu Thai has been one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Phoenix since trying the Roosevelt Row…read morelocation last year. I hadn't tried this location on 7th until just recently, when I came by during happy hour with some friends. There is a spacious parking lot tucked away in the back, opposite of the street view side. This is also where the entrance is! Walk toward the breezeway and it's to your right. Immediately, we were greeted by our host and the warm/inviting atmosphere. I'm impressed by how well decorated both LeDu locations are, in unique ways. We got the fried tofu, passion fizz, lychee martini, jungle bird, and my usual pad thai with beef and beansprouts on the side. Passion Fizz: passion fruit, demerera, sparkling wine - sweet, light, refreshing Lychee martini: vodka, lychee, dry vermouth, lime - sweet, strong, lychee flavor is perfect and not overpowering Jungle Bird: spiced rum, campari, pineapple, lime - sweet, deep flavor from the rum Fried tofu: a little dry even with the sauce, a small portion for the price, not my favorite Pad thai: tangy/sweet, packed with flavor, always delicious from LeDu! Definitely down for another happy hour or meal here anytime!

    The self-appointed king of speakeasies is back at it with another one. Located in the Melrose part…read moreof Phoenix, I checked out Bar 1912 after having dinner at Valentine (hint, hint: the speakeasy is located inside the restaurant). They have a small parking lot, but it's free and I was able to find a spot on a Friday evening. Ambiance (2.5/5): Speakeasies are known for their sophistication and for their hidden entry. Bar 1912 isn't much of a mystery. There are two entry points. Either a door in the back of the restaurant or a hallway inside the restaurant that's relatively easy to find as there isn't a door or anything in between the restaurant and the speakeasy. Our waiter took us there after our meal. Bar 1912 is nice, but just about average in terms of ambiance compared to other speakeasies. Part of the reason is that it's very loud (seats 30 people or so) and all of the seating at the bar are back-less bar stools (which I personally hate due to my back). I would have preferred to sit on the various couches/sofas next to the bar. Service (4.5/5): Friendly, attentive service. Exactly what you hope for when you're grabbing a drink (especially when they take a little longer to make due to their sophistication). You're provided with water without asking which is always a nice touch. I had to grab the bartender's attention once or twice, but outside of that, a job well done. Food (N/A); Since I had dinner at Valentine prior, I skipped food here. They have a small menu consisting mostly of appetizers (many, but not all, which are offered at Valentine). One option which isn't at Valentine, but which piqued my interest is the Sonoran hot dog. Had I been hungry, it would've been a no brainer. They have four or so desserts on the menu, and I had room for dessert, but none of them seemed appetizing. Drinks (4/5): When I'm at a speakeasy, I look for creativity and an interesting blend of ingredients. You certainly have that here. There's a focus on Native American and Hispanic influences here, which is pretty cool, and fitting since we're in Phoenix and everything. I tried two cocktails, one was a hit and one was a miss. I'm pretty flexible when it comes to cocktails, and I know what I like, so I rarely miss. Unfortunately, it happened here. With that being said, I tried some liqueurs I had never had before which is awesome. And I enjoyed the cocktail menu. This isn't the type of spot you'll find an Espresso Martini...thankfully. With a couple of tweaks, Bar 1912 could be in line with some of my favorite speakeasies in town.

    Here's a Short-cut summary: Exceptional food! Exceptional service! Cute place!…read more We dined here on a Sunday morning, late in September, in the year of our Lord, 2026...and It really was exceptional and memorable. Every beverage, and every entre' had layers of subtle flavor that had us all raving and passing around spoon and fork-fulls of samples that we shared together. My daughter had the breakfast sandwich and it was great (*beyond great, actually). I had just eaten the free breakfast offered at the hotel we stayed at last night, so only ordered the tomato salad (it had a catchy name that I think had something to do with a Bloody Mary, but I didn't take notes and my buhh...buhh...brain is not as sharp as it used to be, so I could be completely wrong about the name. Ask the staff and I bet they will know what I am refering to. It was fantastic and had others at a neighboring table asking what it was and how it was (I gave the "oh my gawd this is soooo good' eyebrows) to indicate that is was to kill or die for. Finally, my wife went for the mashed avocado toast selection, and I can honestly say that the bite I took to sample it was enough to have me come to the conclusion that it was the best avocado toast that I have ever had. When our waiter checked on how we were doing, the conversation lead to his sharing that almost all the offerings at VALENTINE are made with near-by farm to table ingredients. I hinted at how pleasant the beverages that we ordered were. Our waiter (who goes by the name, Jake and was super-personal, professional and caring) suggested the Cajeta Latte. I have never been let down by suggestions from staff at restaurants, so that was my choice. Muy Bueno! My daughter did the same, except that she went low and I went high (regarding temperature of the drink). My wife ordered a chai and kept saying how good it was as she sipped hers throughout the meal. To summarize, this place is fantastic and if you like food that is made by those with love of cooking in their souls--who appear to take joy in "wowing" others as they dine, VALENTINE should be put on your culinary bucket list. So stop reading this review and get your butt into one of their booths. Oh, I almost forgot... we had a pastry as a brunchy dessert after our late breakfast. I cannot recall exactly which one my wife and daughter selected, but it was really good. If you take a peek at the area where they keep their pastries, you will see that they all look amazing. And, based on the pastry that we sampled, I would bet my bottom dollar every one of those pastries you are looking at would taste great and satisfying.

    I came to the Valentine because I'm an Amex Platinum card holder, and it's nearby and on Resy. We…read morehad a Resy credit expiring that night and were celebrating me and my lover's anniversary with a romantic dinner. Given the reviews, we were excited! We booked for 7:30 P.M. It looked busy but not so busy, and we were seated immediately. We didn't get an introduction to a server. Our drinks were served right away, and a gentleman we thought was our server took our order. We told him we'd never been there, and he walked us through the menu, shared recommendations, and gave us a lot of attention. He brought our appetizers, checked how they tasted, and helped us order dinner. Someone else brought dinner, which was fine, though in hindsight we wondered where we'd done something wrong. We enjoyed dinner and each other's company so much that we hadn't realized nobody had visited us for 51 minutes after dinner arrived. We thought our server had forgotten us, but we saw him covering nearby tables without making eye contact with us for the rest of the evening. The woman who'd taken our drink order and seated us cleared our plates. We asked for the bill. She said sure, made an awkward face (didn't seem pleased), nodded, and walked away. We watched her fill drinks and clear tables, but not get our bill. The gentleman continued servicing nearby tables without returning or looking our way, almost seeming to avoid eye contact. We were both staring, and not a peep in our direction. He'd been attentive before dinner, but after that--nada. I have a time stamp because I photographed dinner when it arrived. We hoped to enjoy a sweet treat for our anniversary, but with no menu or attention, we figured we should go. We'd already been there an hour after dinner arrived. I finally stood at the counter, where we'd seen others get attention, and was ignored. After about two minutes, I stood next to the party being attended until "our" server looked at me. I asked, "Aren't you our server?" He looked me directly in the eye and said, "no, I'm not." I was baffled, given he'd attended us all evening. He said, "tonight we're doing a Group service, so that's possibly why there was confusion." I felt a little gaslit being told he wasn't our server when he had been. I said OK, no problem, we'd like our bill to head out, could he help? Only then did he apologize for missing the mark. He mentioned the team being busy and the printers not working, rambled, and apologized. The woman we'd asked almost 20 minutes earlier came to the host station, avoided eye contact, grabbed something, and stepped away. He offered to remove our drinks--my partner had only a beer and sparkling water--saying, "maybe it can help soften the blow." I said that's all right, though he did not remove them. He gave us the bill. I think this was the first time I didn't leave a cash tip, regrettably. One of the worst service experiences I've had at dinner with my partner. The ambience was nice--it's giving evening romance. It looked busy, but not so busy you couldn't attend a table. Nearby tables received service, check-ins, refills, and bussing. I had much higher hopes. Let's talk food. I had the Hamachi. He might have tried to talk me out of it, to his credit, but my partner had tasty hamachi elsewhere and I was excited for good fish. The flavor was good, but it was overcooked and not as tender as it could've been. The dish was unique, but I don't think the flavors blended well: a slightly sweet vinegar salad, green chili sauce underneath, and a crispy shell on the fish. Together, they didn't complement well. I should've listened. He said other dishes were more preferred and ordered, and one guest had ordered it and left unpleased. My partner's elote pasta we enjoyed. The crispy corn, the pasta texture, Parmesan, subtle flavors, and tasty sauce combined beautifully. The noodles were cooked perfectly, so that was finished. We very much enjoyed the pretzel!! It was his suggestion, and we complimented it to him, talking about how delicious and magical it was: almost crispy outside, a teeny hint of sweet but savory, and so soft inside it almost melted in your mouth. The soft whipped butter and honeycomb square were delightful. All three together were delectable! We also enjoyed the baby salad and baby radishes. The dressing was perfect, with a Caesar hint and some sweetness; the pepitas were yummy. My partner isn't a big salad fan, but tried it and said it was really good. Dinner was $116. We were mostly happy with the meal. Service brings this review down. I'd rate food 3 1/2 stars; it wasn't out of this world. I have no desire to return. I can't tell you if they offer dessert; perhaps there's another menu we weren't offered. The bar in back, 1912 - great drinks. We could've enjoyed liquid dessert but were done after being ignored. The patio looks divine! Note how "busy" our photos look: plenty of empty spots and at least eight front-of-house staff who didn't help.

    What a fantastic place. 4 of us arrived on a Saturday…read morearound 2-3 pm and it was packed I don't believe we had a reservation and we still sat down quickly. They have outside seating with a ton of misters. I believe that you can stay cool but if you're worried about frizz and your hair, I wouldn't do it lol They have a happy hour until 5 pm EVERY DAY!!! And PLENTY of options which is much appreciated. We all enjoyed our drinks, pretty to the eye and going down the hatch haha (espresso martini not on happy hour-see menu) We didn't get food but damn their ribs smelt so good, I have to come back for that. Plus, you can still order ice cream and I think that's so amazing and they look like they have so many delicious flavors. I want to try that as well. Service was awesome and friendly. Our waitress came back around before the happy hour ended to get any last-minute orders and that was really appreciated. You don't get that often or ever. I love the feel of the bar. It has a classic fuel makes you feel outside of Arizona. You can definitely go on a date, catch up with friends, or enjoy the bar to yourself. This is on my radar to come back as soon as possible Cheers

    Wow, this is THE place to go for brunch and drinks! $6 cocktails AND $6 pitchers of beer?! That's…read moreunheard of! Coming from LA, I was blown away by the prices. Such an insane deal! The food options are great too. I ordered the fried chicken after hearing so many good things about it. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown for me. It was super crispy and juicy, but also really salty, which kind of overpowered the flavor. The mac & cheese was pretty basic, but the Matador and breakfast sandwich were both solid choices. And don't forget to check out the ice cream shop next door! They have some really good flavors. Overall, still a great spot for brunch, drinks, and an amazing deal.

    I first came across Don Woods' Say When reading a Yelp article listing out the best rooftops in…read moreeach state. Don Woods was Arizona's pick. For quite a few months, I had it on my list to visit. I finally made things happen on a Wednesday evening for a drink. Located on the roof (of course) of a boutique hotel, I find free parking in the hotel's parking lot. While it was a busy parking lot, I was able to find a spot. Unfortunately, my night consisted of a comedy of errors. Ambiance (3/5): When you think best rooftop in the state, you're thinking scenic and peaceful views. Don Woods' certainly has that, though I've seen better in Phoenix. You can see the mountains in the background, but that's about it. The hotel is located on a busy street, where you'll often hear the noise of cars buzzing by or the train choo-chooing. Did I just make up a word?! I imagine the best time to stop by is during sunset. The outdoor area is relatively narrow with seating for about 20-30 people. It's a mix of comfortable seats and tables/chairs. There's also a charming indoor area, where the bar is located, but I felt like I had to sit outside. The weather was perfect, too. Service (2.5/5): This is where the comedy of errors began. I was given a menu and some water and was left to peruse the menu. Before the waitress had returned, I had picked out an appetizer and a cocktail. I then discovered that their cook had quit the other week and as a result, no food was available. That's fine and all, but you've gotta give me a heads-up when giving me the menu. That way, I wouldn't have spent the time to look over the food menu and get my heart set on a particular dish. On a better note, they have free WiFi. And service was overall friendly and pretty efficient. Food (N/A): While I was unable to order some food, on most nights, they have a small menu of small plates. More of a snack type of spot then a full meal type of establishment. Drinks (3/5): Don Woods is know for its cocktails and they have a list of 10 or so craft cocktails. Plus, beer, wine, and the typical options that you would find when there's a full bar. I feel like the bartender messed up the proportions on my cocktail as it was a bit rough. One drink and I was out. It seems like Don Woods' is experiencing some turnover which is leading to some mishaps. Combine that with some high expectations given the accolades they won, and it was the recipe for a disaster. I love a good rooftop bar, so I was hoping for more at Don Woods' Say When. Even the lobby of the hotel was experiencing issues. They sell popsicles in the lobby but the guy temporarily manning the front desk didn't know how to get their Square device working. Which ended up meaning no appetizers for me at Don Woods and no popsicles from the lobby. Two strikes. We live to fight another day.

    STAY AWAY! Service is terrible. Took forever for a server to acknowledge us. Once she took our…read moreorder she had no idea what was on the menu. Then I was poured a glass of wine that was expired. And finally, after cutting my lip I realized that the wine glass had a chipped perimeter. Ps- elevator to take upstairs was filthy
