Unfortunately, our overall experience was overshadowed by what I perceived as an unfriendly welcome from the owner, Eliana. From the moment we walked in, I felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. Her communication came across as pushy and dismissive, which created a tense atmosphere. What disappointed me most was the feeling that we were being encouraged to leave when we expressed interest in seeing another section of the restaurant. Whether that was the intention or not, it left us feeling unwelcome as guests. While the food, drinks, and service staff were enjoyable, the overall experience was negatively affected by this interaction. Français Le service et les boissons étaient bons, et le personnel qui nous a servis était agréable. Malheureusement, notre expérience globale a été gâchée par ce que j'ai perçu comme un accueil peu chaleureux de la part de la propriétaire, Eliana. Dès notre arrivée, je me suis senti mal à l'aise et peu le bienvenu. Sa façon de communiquer m'a semblé insistante et froide, ce qui a créé une atmosphère désagréable. Ce qui m'a le plus déçu, c'est le sentiment d'être encouragé à partir lorsque nous avons manifesté notre intérêt pour voir une autre partie du restaurant. Que cela ait été son intention ou non, nous nous sommes sentis peu appréciés en tant que clients. Même si les boissons et le service étaient de qualité, cette interaction a fortement affecté notre expérience. Español El servicio y las bebidas fueron buenos, y el personal que nos atendió fue amable. Sin embargo, nuestra experiencia general se vio afectada por lo que percibí como una bienvenida poco cordial por parte de la dueña, Eliana. Desde que entramos, me sentí incómodo y poco bienvenido. Su manera de comunicarse me pareció insistente y poco amable. Lo que más me decepcionó fue sentir que prácticamente nos estaban invitando a irnos cuando mostramos interés en ver otra parte del restaurante. Independientemente de cuál fuera la intención, nos hizo sentir poco valorados como clientes. Aunque las bebidas y el servicio fueron buenos, esta interacción afectó negativamente nuestra visita. Português O atendimento e as bebidas foram bons, e os funcionários que nos atenderam foram simpáticos. Infelizmente, a nossa experiência geral foi prejudicada pelo que percebi como uma recepção pouco acolhedora da proprietária, Eliana. Desde o momento em que entramos, senti-me desconfortável e pouco bem-vindo. A forma como ela se comunicou pareceu insistente e pouco amigável.

Italiano Il servizio e le bevande erano buoni e il personale che ci ha assistito è stato gentile. Purtroppo, l'esperienza complessiva è stata compromessa da quello che ho percepito come un atteggiamento poco accogliente da parte della proprietaria, Eliana. Fin dal nostro arrivo mi sono sentito a disagio e poco benvenuto. Il suo modo di comunicare mi è sembrato insistente e sgarbato. Ciò che mi ha deluso maggiormente è stata la sensazione che ci stesse praticamente invitando ad andarcene quando abbiamo mostrato interesse nel vedere un'altra parte del locale. Che fosse o meno la sua intenzione, ci siamo sentiti poco apprezzati come clienti. Sebbene il servizio e le bevande fossero validi, questa interazione ha avuto un impatto negativo sulla nostra visita. Nederlands De service en de drankjes waren goed en het personeel dat ons hielp was vriendelijk. Helaas werd onze algehele ervaring overschaduwd door wat ik ervoer als een onvriendelijke ontvangst door de eigenaresse, Eliana. Vanaf het moment dat we binnenkwamen voelde ik mij ongemakkelijk en niet echt welkom. Haar manier van communiceren kwam op mij over als opdringerig en afstandelijk. Wat mij het meest teleurstelde, was het gevoel dat we werden aangemoedigd om te vertrekken toen we interesse toonden in een ander gedeelte van het restaurant. Of dat nu de bedoeling was of niet, het gaf ons het gevoel niet gewaardeerd te worden als gasten. Hoewel de drankjes en de service goed waren, heeft deze ervaring een negatieve indruk achtergelaten. 日本語 (Japanese) ドリンクは美味しく、スタッフのサービスも良かったです。しかし残念ながら、オーナーのエリアナの態度によって全体の経験が台無しになりました。 お店に入った瞬間から、歓迎されているというよりも居心地の悪さを感じました。彼女の態度は押しつけがましく、失礼で、正直なところ「お客さんに来てほしくないのかな」と思ってしまうほどでした。 特に驚いたのは、レストランの別のエリアを見てみたいと思った時の対応です。歓迎されるどころか、「見たいなら帰ってください」と言われているような気分になりました。私はこれまで多くの国を旅し、たくさんのレストランを訪れてきましたが、このような経験は初めてです。 レストランというのは、お客さんを歓迎し、心地よく過ごしてもらう場所であるべきです。ただ中を見たいと思っただけで迷惑者のように扱われるべきではありません。 ドリンクは良く、スタッフも親切でした。しかし、オーナーの態度がそのすべてを台無しにしてしまいました。

The restaurant has lots of windows which is great because it overlooks the creek. The service is quick and friendly. People weren't kidding when they said everything is made in house. The lemonade was fantastic. My brisket melt was flavorful and I like the fact it had fresh jalapeño's to give additional texture and flavor. The fries were thin and good - and the homemade ketchup was good. My mom had the chicken tenders and they are the best I ever had - I know, I know, how good could they be? Delicious. They are lightly battered, perfectly fried, juicy, and the herbs and spices come through. I'd come back to get my own order. On the way out, we ordered 6 different donuts which were so good and airy. To my surprise, the apple fritter was my favorite - slight crunch outside, good slightly chewy texture, and great flavor. None of the donuts were too sweet. I'll be back!

We had no problems getting a table. However, when we left the place was packed. We ordered Water, Lemonade, Ginger Ale, Waldorf Salad, Grilled Cheese & Bacon and Waffles. The menu had all the basics. The food was average. No complaints. My Waldorf salad was very plentiful. I took the remaining portion home. Customer Service was pretty good. The luncheonette has plenty of parking. Gracie's appears to be a reliable place to stop in for a bite.

We…read morehave been for brunch, for their fresh breads and for their many amazing baked goods, but Le Perche is rarely open for dinner so we did not know what to expect. Dinner was OUTSTANDING. We started with their signature focaccia, fresh out of the oven. Then, a seasonal Asparagus Tarte that was very much a deconstructed version: a delicious butter crust at the bottom of the plate, frisée lettuce, perfectly prepared asparagus topped with a pecorino creme vinaigrette. The perfect spring dish. Next was a Tuna crudo with ramp oil, watermelon radishes, fresh microgreens and toasted hazelnuts. Finally, their take on a Frisée aux Lardons, served with pickled figs. The lardons themselves were nicely crisped, and very satisfying. We had Negronis for cocktails, and a generous carafe of rose, served off the tap. All around one of the best meals I've had. Can't wait for the next menu that Chef Jeffrey Gimmel puts together. Apparently this is a monthly series, so keep a look out and don't miss the June dinner, guessing end of June on a Saturday night?

In terms of the atmosphere, I loved the music theme (punk, metal, hardcore, hip-hop), the guitars for anyone to play, and chatting with Bubba (who I found out plays in a band that I like). My daughter loved all the games, the coloring, and the dart board. As for food, the Eggnostic Front (see what he did there?) was delicious. Nothing on the menu was quite what my picky eater was looking for, so Bubba made her her own custom biscuit dish with ingredients that we know she likes. We also both loved the lemonade. We went in around 2pm so we were the only ones in there (minus a couple of people who walked in to pick up takeout.) I hope they stay in business for a long time.

It's a cute, not ostentatious restaurant with excellent food and service that you will want to return to multiple times.

Inside there is a dining area that wraps around bathrooms. On the counters, staff left their empty gum wrappers, staff drink coolers, dirty rags, half eaten sandwiches, empty bottles, refilled Tostitos jars with stinky substances, papers, and cloths etc. At the counter there was a long wait. Regular visitors brought their own food. Several of the service vitrines were cracked. The glass + tableware racks that busboys brought, were very dirty (see pictures, replace them). My meatloaf sandwich - which is a staple that I usually opt for, when there are many items, was filled with carrot and greens; which left a weird taste, that was not meatloafy on my palette! The sides were good, the coffee as well: but the coffee was always empty. The food is middle of the road. Service is slow and lacks a single 'leader' who can keep business humming along. People waited to pay. Cash was left unpaid on the register - people just gave up and walked out. It is very very chaotic. Food is passable, not refined. Coffee refills took a very long time. Chaotic female wait staff, that creates massive dining room problems and backups for diners wanting to pay. Staff make problems not solving them! Review: -4
