    This is a nice little gem in the Rice village area. Delicious food really friendly service great healthy options with you Felt. Welcome clean atmosphere outside of need to put a coat to use the bathroom. It was a great experience from entering to exiting parking. Can be quite difficult as it's a very busy restaurant Highly recommend I look forward to going back.

    A quick stop at this beautiful restaurant, welcomed by such kind staff! I was quite surprise at how beautifully decorated this restaurant was; quite impressive for a "mom and pop" place. I ordered their Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Pita and I have no regrets. The pita bread itself was amazing; flavorful, lick your finger kind of sandwich as you taste the reminisce of whatever they've brushed over their pita. The fluff on it was great, as well. As simple as the sandwich was, the grilled chicken with the chopped up lettuce, tomatoes and mushrooms were just what I needed. The sauce they included in the sandwich really was just the icing on the cake! I can't wait to try more!

    great food and love other locations, but this one was so skimpy on meat. for $23 I would expect more than this honestly. 2 my my 5 chicken pieces were so rubbery I could barley cut them with a knife as well.

    Gyro Pita with no tomatoes

    This place is decent, it's not great but it's not bad. It's an easy neighborhood bite. Usually the service is pretty quick but today we waited a very long time to receive our food. I don't love the ambiance because the tables are stacked very close together but they do have tables outside that have more space. Overall, the gyro was packed with a good amount of meat. They do have fresh juice and smoothie which I love.

    Cheesesteak

    I paid $18 yes $18 for this little tiny, unflavored "cheesesteak". It is the cheapest tasting cheesesteak I've ever had. It's like it came from an elementary school cafeteria. $18??????? This should be illegal. Not to mention I paid $1 for extra cheese.. came with none. The "steak" is actually rubber. AVOID THIS PLACE

    Falafel and hummus. Sort of tabouli

The dining room is chic and feels very upscale but comfortable with a large open fire kitchen that was really fun to watch while dining. They were very on top of service with both our dining captain and waiter checking on us throughout the evening. For appetizers we ordered the deviled crabs, tuna tostada and wood roasted carrots. All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides. Everyone was very happy with both their main courses and the side dishes. We were too stuffed to order dessert but they sent out a s'mores inspired sunday for my birthday which was both thoughtful and sublime. Overall we were very impressed with our meal. Food was delicious but veeeery indulgent. We will be back.

We were greeted by three different people - one that took our drink order, one that cleared our plates, and one that took our order. All were very nice people and gave excellent service! I forgot their names unfortunately. My receipt said Zachary but not sure which waiter that was. Between me and hubs, we had a Pan de campo, an order of Gulf Oysters "casino", (4) dressed oysters, a 16 oz dry aged ribeye, a snapper entree and a side of crab fried rice. We finished almost everything except a quarter of the Pan, about a quarter of the rice, and about a third of the ribeye. All were great dishes and would definitely order again. We skipped dessert because honestly none stood out to us. He said their popular dessert is the souffle but they were sold out. Our total before gratuity was about $250 and that included one cocktail. Hubs had their "classic" old fashioned which he said was excellent! Overall, highly recommended if you don't mind the splurge or for a special occasion!

I'd seen this spot a few…read moretimes when dining with colleagues nearby and assured myself I'd check it out as soon as I could. I'm glad I did! When walking in it wasn't crowded but there were a fair amount of guests for a near 10 pm crowd on a Wednesday. I went and sat at the bar to which I was immediately greeted and provided menus. Food & Drink - 5* I immediately ordered some wings and fried pickles and peppers. Then I debated between the Irish Stew or the Shepherd's Pie. When I inquired, both are great but advised I should go with the Shepherd's Pie. Off to races we go. Fried pickles and peppers, delicious, the batter isn't over the top yet doesn't fall off terribly. The cilantro jalapeño sauce is a fantastic pairing. The wings -- great, nice crisp, flavor was not necessarily what I expected, I couldn't place it at the time it they were good. Now, the shepherd's pie, wow, this dish was addicting. I'd come back over and over for this while sabotaging in semblance of a balanced diet. Just makes me know that the Irish stew is likely equally fantastic. The drinks, well, I can't speak to cocktails but the Guinness was delicious, cold, with nice collar/head. Can't go wrong with that! Service - 5* Everything one would want. Friend, fast, and attentive. Water was always full and was asked if needed anything multiple times. The only thing I didn't get proactively was napkins, but when I asked, I was provided some quickly. Cost - 4.5* Overall, I think, subjectively speaking, everything here is pretty well priced. The shepherd's pie may be a tad overpriced but it's worth it in how delicious it is. Overall - 5* This was a pleasant surprise to visit and I will certainly come back. Subjectively the location is good and bad. Being next to the improv and movie theater I'm sure helps attract many patrons for these businesses. At the same time, this joint, with a loyal following, would sustain business and "feel" better as a free standing establishment in a more neighborhood type environment. Nevertheless, great place, would recommend people stop in even if they aren't visiting the stalwart attractions in the area.

    Service here was impeccable. Very attentive but not over-whelming. Will definitely come back on a…read moregame day

Recently, each time I've visited, service has been exceptional. The staff is very friendly and fulfills requests quickly. Today I tried one of their new bottomless sodas. Yes, the price seems steep at 4.99, but when you think about as many refills as you want without extra charge, it's a good deal. You're not going to get "fancy" soda flavors and toppings anywhere else for cheaper that I know of. I ordered the bacon and blue burger lettuce wrapped with broccoli. They do have a gluten free bun option for a bit of an up charge, but the lettuce wrap is a free substitution. The manager, Nate, stopped by my table multiple times during my visit to check on me and my waiter was very attentive too. Sundays after church can get a little busy, and with it sharing a strip with the movie theatre I'm sure there are times before/after movies that are more busy too. Even with that, there are tons of tables and even a bar area to sit if you'd prefer. I'm very happy with the positive direction this location seems to be going in and I look forward to eating here more!

    Went to Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews tonight and honestly the food was actually pretty good…read moreand the service was alright. The place was organized but a little dirty as some walls definitely needed to be wiped down and a lot of furniture needed dusting. Our server Hugo was very nice but I genuinely felt bad for him because he was stretched so thin. He was serving and bartending at the same time which is kind of wild for a Friday night in a busy shopping center. You could tell he was stressed so I am not even mad at him for that part. The issue came with dessert. I needed to run into a store before it closed so we planned it out to give me about 45 minutes to grab what I needed without rushing anyone. Instead of eating dessert there we ordered the "fudge filled chocolate chip cookies" which are described as "five soft chocolate chip cookies with a fudgy center." So naturally you assume they are soft and probably warm. We waited a little over 20 minutes after ordering them just to get a box with an apology from Hugo saying they were frozen and we could bake them at home. I was shocked. Like why would I order dessert to go and want it frozen. The way you get them straight from a supplier (probably Sysco ) I literally got up and started laughing because what. We left and were laughing about it but I was still pretty annoyed so my husband called to try to get some kind of ticket number or reference so we could give feedback to corporate. The first girl who answered, I think her name was Natalie or Natalia, was very kind and got the manager on the phone. That is where it went downhill. The manager would not provide any reference number or anything at all. She just repeated our order back to us. Diet Coke, strawberry lemonade, Reds double burger meal, royal Red Robin burger, triple yumm platter, and the cookies. We explained we were given frozen cookies and she said yes that is correct. We asked if that is how they are served in restaurant and she said yes they are served frozen in restaurant and to go. We told her the menu says soft cookies and frozen cookies are not soft. She doubled down and said they were served exactly how they are supposed to be. My husband asked again for a ticket number so we could just verify with corporate and if we were wrong then no problem. She then got super patronizing and said "oh you had a good experience but it was the cookies, oh my goodness it was the cookies." It is honestly wild that she spoke to us like that. She then offered to refund the cookies which we said was not necessary because we just wanted to give feedback. She kept going on about how it was the cookies and how that is how they serve them. Like why would I pay for frozen cookies. Please get a grip. Hugo was kind and doing his best but it took over 20 minutes to box up frozen cookies. We just wanted to give feedback or be told we misunderstood, not be talked down to. I would not recommend coming here for to go orders, you might get a frozen patty next.

I've been to a few of their locations around town and enjoyed it. This location is pretty big. The space inside is spread out with lots of seating. They even have a little area with an arcade. The patio is very spacious too. For a Sunday with games on, the place was pretty empty. It worked out for us as we were seated immediately and got our servers undivided attention. Service was great. One of the things I love most about this chain is that they have really great daily deals. Since I had just ate my weight in popcorn next door, I skipped over their appetizers and set my sights on the wings. I ended up going with the wing basket which came with 10 wings and a side. They have around 20 flavors to choose from. I like options. I went with the Buffalo Hot which is a saucy option and the Spicy Ranch which is a dry rub option. I've had these flavors before and they packed some heat along with flavor. At this location, it fell a little short though. The wings just didn't pick up the flavor options. They were cooked perfect and weren't bad by any means, but just ate pretty bland for me. I like a little kick and like the sauce or rubs to stick to the wing. The side of waffle fries also were room temp at best. My friends seemed to enjoy their choices. Overall, I am pretty sure I got them on an off day. The chain usually hits the spots on most visits. I would check them out again if in the area and the wing cravings hit.

    What you see is what you get! Pretty good casual spot with a large menu. I'm not a huge wing person…read morein general but I appreciate that they have a wide variety of flavors. AND they don't have a minimum amount you have to order per flavor, so if you want to try something out you can get just one or two wings. My friends and I frequent the Regal that is just a few steps away, so this is great for a dinner beforehand or drinks after. Definitely take advantage of their daily food and drink specials! I haven't watched a game here yet but with the amount of TVs I'd guess that it would be a good time.
