    Statler Chicken
    Elisa K.

    Generally good food and service, my waitress was very friendly and accommodating. However the ambiance was a bit overwhelming as there was both clamorous conversation paired with music being played as well. The chicken was also a bit dry and unseasoned though the broccoli and mashed potatoes were delicious.

    Pretty good value for the portion sizes. And good service- very attentive to families with young kids

It was 9 of their plates plus a dessert. It was way too much food (they had said it would be). We could have simply picked what we wanted to eat and gotten a reasonable amount of food for a reasonable price. I do not recommend "The Ride". As for the food, we liked the tuna tartare (a tad salty, but still good) and the hamachi crudo. The brussels are noteworthy at Brassica, so it was nice to get them - they are charred with maple and miso and served over white rice. The pork belly was fine. The lobster pasta was so spicy we couldn't eat it. The oxtail was excellent - I loved the flavors of the tomatillo; ironically, we probably would have not ordered that unless it came with The Ride, and I am glad we got to try it. The one thing we had that didn't seem to be in the menu was duck, which was very good. We also were served a pepperoni pizza and caesar salad, neither of which I could eat because I was so full. And the salad was so salty, I wouldn't have been able to eat it anyway. Dessert was tiramisu, which was solid. I'll go back to brassica, but pick my own dishes, and ask for ones that aren't spicy and have less alt in them,. To be fair, most restaurants over salt their food these days, which is so unfortunate.

It was their first time organizing it so definitely a bit chaotic and several kinks to work out but I'd say it was a success and hope they make it an annual tradition. We ordered a bunch of apps to try and enjoyed them all - Beets with shiso labne, goat cheese and currant croquettes, buttermilk fried pickles, veggie dumplings. Everybody's favorite were the buttermilk fried pickles. Generous portion, very crispy, and downright yummy. Each of us ordered a cocktail and we enjoyed those as well. We also tried the throwdown flight (coffee + cocktail) and that was probably the only thing we didn't enjoy as much - but maybe that's just us! Highly recommend food-wise. Service was a bit hit-or-miss that evening. Took a looooong time for anyone to take our order and we had to keep craning our necks to flag down the wait staff, especially if you're sitting at the long center table. They also got us pork dumplings first and when we mentioned it, they apologized and brought over the veggie dumplings. But it was a busy night so I'll just say, it happens.

They also have a coffee bar you can sit at, and music playing that adds to the atmosphere without being distracting. I ordered a burger and fries, which were good. The menu is fairly simple, but they do offer desserts I didn't try this time--things like apple cider donuts--which looked delicious and generously sized. Service was friendly and welcoming. I also had a chai that wasn't quite my favorite, but that didn't take away from the overall experience. I was able to get some work done without being consistently bothered, which I really appreciated. I'll definitely be back.

We arrived during the dinner rush and were lucky to get one of the last available tables. Despite how busy it was, we were seated quickly, and our server immediately went over the dinner specials with us. We started with the fried calamari, which was decent--nothing extraordinary, but still enjoyable. For our main dishes, I ordered the pistachio‑crusted haddock with grilled vegetables, while my colleague chose the fajitas. The dinner special was the highlight for me: the haddock was incredibly fresh, cooked perfectly, and wonderfully moist with a delicate, flaky texture. I loved it. My colleague said the fajitas were fine, though not particularly memorable for his taste. Service throughout the evening was excellent, especially considering the crowd. Overall, I really enjoyed our meal and the attentive service. I'd happily return the next time I'm in town.

I was surprised when everyone agreed to send back the awful Buffalo chicken dip. Just tasted off. We ordered nachos which also seemed like they were a SYSCO special. Nothing fresh and made in house. Every component felt like it was shipped in and mostly loaded with salt and preservatives. My double cheeseburger was... not fresh beef. Maybe frozen patties. The fries look fresh cut in photos from years ago on yelp but now they're bright yellow frozen style ones. No one liked their meals. I suspect this place decided to cut its food costs and switched to all generic products that come frozen. We decided to pull this place from our sports bar rotation. Hope it improves.

It pains me to write this review but I hope it's seen by management and they address this issue. I had a friend visiting from another state (drove for 10 hours in snow and ice). I was excited to bring them here for brunch. I made a reservation online the day before just in case. We arrived at 10am and the doors were locked. The hours said they'd be open at 9am. Tried getting the staff's attention but it seemed like we were being ignored. I called the phone number several times. No one picked up even though I could see staff inside. I even tried sending them a message on social media but no response. We ended up going to the breakfast spot next door. When we were done, we walked past the restaurant and of course it was open then. Needless to say, this experience was super disappointing. Communication about updated hours or picking up the phone isn't too much to ask for. One bad experience isn't a dealbreaker but two will be. I hope management fixes this quickly.
