Will definitely return! Amazing service and food was delicious. Only improvements that I would suggest was the dessert could have been fresher and the Spanish was a little bitter.

Maxwell was the absolute best! We had a fabulous time, the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. Since this was a company networking event, we loved the restaurants lack of noise. We could talk and listen easily without having to shout. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Yoooo the food took forever and was actually gross. The corned beef hash was literally disrespectful to cows. Cannot believe they died for you to serve that mess. Also the chicken DUMPLING soup literally was chicken broth and dry chicken. Notice how I didn’t include dumplings in the description because there literally weren’t any. Do better

This was my first time here the food was amazing it just took forever to get our entrées. The manager did comp our drinks for the mix up. The waiter was new but Timmy did his best. The tables needed to be wiped down after we noticed it was sticky. I will revisit the restaurant to see if my experience could be better.

This is a nice casual restaurant and the food was good. While it wasn’t particularly busy, we waited longer than expected to get our food. We’ve eaten here before and not experienced this much of a delay. So perhaps it was an unusual staffing issue. Regardless, the staff was attentive and friendly.

The ability to make a reservation was nice. Though they didn’t know we had one, they accommodated us quickly. The rub was the initial order for drinks which took almost 30 mins. They were really nice. The food was fantastic!

Our waiter was very friendly but forgot A LOT of things. The place was not at all busy but it still took forever to get our food and then things were never brought to us. Then I get the bill, told the waiter the card was for the bill and the $20 cash was tip.....didn't realized that he still added the gratuity to the final bill so he ended up with a $33 tip!! Not happy and will not be returning anytime soon.

My friend and I ordered portabella sandwiches. They were not portabellas though. They were a bunch of sauteed smaller mushrooms. I get that they probably ran out of portabellas, but someone could have just let us know. I would’ve ordered something else. The Area 51 fries are insanely good.
