This time was a completely different experience. We had an amazing host, and everyone on the staff was so warm, friendly, and genuinely funny. It made our dinner feel so much more enjoyable. And the food was phenomenal. We remembered how much we loved the carpaccio from our last visit, so we ordered it again, and it absolutely lived up to our expectations. Five out of five. Everyone at the table loved it. For drinks, we had the Blood Orange Drop and the Passion Storm. Both were really good, and I especially loved the Passion Storm. The crab cake was probably the only miss for us. It wasn't terrible, but it just wasn't memorable enough for me to order again. Everything else was a hit: lamb shank, seafood linguini, seafood risotto, and cioppino. The portions were generous, and everyone enjoyed their meal so much that pretty much every plate was nearly cleaned. Even after all that food, the kiddos still had room for a sticky toffee pudding, which they also finished. For five people, the bill was a little over $300 before tip, coming in just under $400 with tip. For Broadway and the quality of the food and service, I thought that was pretty reasonable. We had such a nice evening this time around. Great food, great hospitality, and a really fun atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

When we asked to sit outside but there wasn't a table size that could accommodate us, they rushed over to bring another table and more chairs over so we could sit where we wanted, without us even asking. We've gotten a few different drinks here, including the French Martini, the Part Time Lover, and a few different glasses of wine, and each are tasty, refreshing, and well-portioned! The food is also very good. Most recently, we had the ravioli di bufala, the penne bolognese, garlic bread, and the wagyu beef burger, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals! Everything was solid - flavorful and well-cooked. This has become a go-to restaurant when my family visits, because they're welcoming, friendly, and very reliable! We'll be back soon, Farm & Vine!

The staff were incredibly friendly and very intuitive. They even noticed l was cold and offered a table away from the door. The cocktails were exciting, and the appetizers (Pomegranate glazed Lamb Riblets and Grilled Octopus) were awesome! The food was absolutely divine. The Tagliatelle pasta was rich and flavorful, and the filet Mignon was cooked to perfection. The bread pudding was a delicious dessert with a perfect balance of sweetness. Overall, the food was amazing and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience. The staff were top-notch.

My friend ordered the root beer float with cold brew ice cubes. It was not super heavy, it mixed well, and somehow, the root beer tasted great with the subtle but noticeable coffee flavor. For my drink, I got two shots of espresso. I just needed a quick pick me up! For food, my friend got the chicken tortilla soup. It was absolutely delicious. The shredded chicken and the broth were wonderful, I do wish it had less tortilla strips because they soaked up all the broth if left there for too long. I got the California bagel, which was also delicious. It was a little too much egg for my liking, but the bagel was only $12 which I think is decent for what I got. The Strawberry croissant was TO DIE FOR. I have never enjoyed a croissant as much as this one. Fresh strawberry cream inside, super fluffy and crispy croissant overall. LOVE! Not to mention the cafe is very chic, we sat at a table where we could maximize our sunlight exposure. The servers and cashiers were nice, welcoming, and helpful. So glad we came here!

It's smaller than saffrons and it's still more expensive !! the service it's alright but I think they kinda force you to eat something not let's you have a variety like saffron The ambience sucks and there are kids running everywhere not recommended Oh yeah and also the small butter chicken was 34 dollars and it was very average. They don't have non bread and the bread they had was very greasy and unhealthily. The service sucks and the people are snooty and rude to there customers they do not deserve 4 michelen awards! There is no lunch special and I feel like they were trying to make me leave just because I entered they make the drinks very small but still 10 bucks Don't go there

My Italian ham Benedict had perfectly poached eggs with the prosciutto edges crisped that added great texture to the overall Benedict. My kid said the lemon/berry pancakes rivaled her favorite pancakes around the corner at Whisper - with the pancake being actually better than the others: fluffy insides with a tiny "crisp" to the outsides of the pancake. My youngest was so excited about the banana, hazelnut, Nutella pizza that she picked off half the toppings before I could snap a pic. And the breakfast burrito looked like any other good breakfast burrito - but the flavor mix was really tasty with the right amount of spice/kick! We didn't try any specialty coffee drinks, but the normal coffee was good and very strong. Overall - the experience has definitely landed Rise & Shine on our list of go-to brunch spots!

The train was coming every 20 minutes or so, and it was very loud. Our party ordered the following: Pizzas - Margherita Pizza (4/5) - Prosciutto Pizza (5/5) - Beef Back Rib and Arugula Pizza (5/5) Sides - Mashed Potatoes (3/5) - Mac and Cheese (5/5) - Cornbread (3.5/5) - Arugula Salad (3/5) - Lemony Garlic Linguine with Prawns (5/5) The pizzas were served hot and fresh. Nice char on the crust, and not super doughy. For our Margherita Pizza specifically, it was a bit soggy/ floppy making it really hard to grab and eat. Other than that, the flavor was there. Might have been a one time thing, but would recommend getting this well done just in case. Of the 3 we ordered, the Beef Back Rib Pizza was my favorite! Great combination of flavors that complemented each other. Mashed Potatoes: A little too dry for my liking. Would recommend adding some black pepper to it. Mac and Cheese: Definitely hit the spot! It was nice and creamy, would definitely order it again! Jalapeno Cornbread: An interesting combination that just wasn't for me. If I come back, I may try it again to see if it grows on me. It was also on the drier side. Arugula Salad: There was A LOT of Parmesan cheese in the salad. I like parmesan, but this was pretty overwhelming. Lemony Garlic Linguine with Prawns: One of the best sides that we got. Noodles had a good chew to them, with a nice zest from the lemons. Very flavorful!

We were in and out of there in 30-40 minutes. Service was speedy and the food just as fast. The first thing that came out was the strawberry shake and oh my goodness it was one of the best shakes I've had in a long while. Refreshing and the right thickness. I downed half the glass in one slurp! I got the runaway freight because I love having mushrooms on my burgers. Added some thick bacon and asked for the tomatoes and lettuce to be included. Ended up being a juicy meal! My boyfriend got the outlaw which had the jalapeños. They cook the patties to your liking and burgers come with a side of fries or salad. The fries portion was generous. Some of them were crispy and some could've used more time in the fryer. 2 people, roughly $60. But all cravings met!

Honestly this has to be one of thee WORST dining experiences I've had in a long time. The server…read morewas very standoffish, inattentive and extremely nonchalant. He sat us down pretty quickly which is good but, the restaurant wasn't busy either so of course but, we didn't even get a proper greeting and it was so bad that he didn't even give us his name to let us know who was serving us (standard). The food took a min to come but, no biggie. My biggest issue was the server overall, he kept missing in action and it was clear he didn't want to be there b/c the other diners weren't receiving the best service either and what's so disheartening is the fact that I am in the hospitality industry so I know ppl can have their days so I still always tip something and I still did but not as much as I usually do b/c he was just so bad. I didn't even get the impression that he was having a bad day, I got more of the impression that he just simply didn't wanna be there and our whole dining experience could've been an "email" pretty much. The food was okay but the service was just so so bad that I wanted the food to be excellent to make up for the customer service side of things especially w/ the slightly expensive menu w/ subpar food. I took a sip of a drink that I ordered and didn't like it and I let him know and he literally just stood there for 30sec w/ a blank stare and said "so what do you want me to do?" Like huh.. anyways after he came back to earth he tells me that I can't get a refund and I just said ok, I even apologized for not liking it b/c he made me feel bad for basically not liking it, like I somehow inconvenienced him so I'll just say the best part of the experience was "leaving".

For some reason I was in the mood for crepes this morning and I looked to see what the offerings…read morewere and Crepevine stuck out because I've never been to one and have never seen such an eclectic selection of crepes. So, coming here, first off, ALL the people who work here are wonderful. Very kind, professional, helpful and they act like they want to be here. I was helped quite a bit by Yesenia, and she was amazing, took great care of me! So kudos to management for what seems to be that, in turn, they take good care of their staff. It was a fairly long line to order and, at first, I sorta wished they had table service instead -- but it ended up moving fairly quickly and was very easy to order. They give you a number and you choose your own table, either inside or outside. On a Saturday morning, although it was busy, there were plenty of tables. My coffee came right away and it is good coffee. And I was told its Crepevine's own branded coffee, organic blend. My Thai crepe came not too long after. It usually comes with both peanut sauce and pesto. But I don't like pesto (and what does that have to do with Thai anyway?) so I asked for it to be prepared with just the peanut sauce. Unfortunately, that got lost and what I was served came with no sauces at all in the crepe. They were happy to take it back and have it re-done and it came out and a short time later with the peanut sauce inside ... and was nice and hot -- and delicious! The side salad that comes with the crepe usually has balsamic vinaigrette but I noticed that one of the menu items is a Thai Salad so, in keeping with the theme, I asked if they could put the dressing for that salad on my side salad and they said no problem, and it was very good -- a lemongrass dressing. The home potatoes were decent although I like mine well done with crispy edges, which these weren't, so I'd probably ask for that next time. And, btw, the value for the money is really good -- they give you A LOT of food! I actually couldn't finish everything on the plate. That all said, I don't think I'll come here on a regular basis, don't live nearby, but I'll definitely come back again, maybe when I have a guest in town -- it was a good meal at a good price and with excellent service and atmosphere, and the few minor problems I had were solved very quickly and efficiently, so 5 stars well deserved.
