Lew Dotterer: Sunday brunch. Not a lot of options but good choices. I got the breakfast burrito. I would have liked salsa with this. Not an option. Had a good flavor. I wanted it a little spicier.Omelettes were huge. No toast. Guess people don't need/want toast. French toast had a great flavor. Chocolate pancake was huge!Walking into the restaurant, there were smells that were not creating a positive experience.We would come back.

Angela Christine: Went her for brunch menu. It was totally different.Check menu first
Brad Neideck: Went for my son's bday. Let's just say I recommend you avoid this place. Took forever to get the food and then when it did arrive it was tasteless, spaghetti was over-cooked, vegetables were cool, chicken was pink (returned it and they discounted it 50% since my guest hesitantly ate around the chicken, what?), and salmon was just in the edge of being done. The place wasn't even busy as we were there during spring break. I liked that our waitress was doing shots behind the bar. I'm pretty sure the chef/cook was too. And then the 3 front house staff (2 wait staff and manager) went over near the front door where the customers couldn't see them, were there a few minutes, and then all popped out at the same time-- what was that?? Buyer beware. I'm pretty sure there's many better options in EL.
Suzette Wasielewski: No sandwiches after 4pm, dinner after 4p only and it's expensive for the quality. Food was cold. Steak was over cooked and dry. Presentation not appealing. Not a fan of garlic and I believe all the hot veggie sides had minced garlic. Wouldn't visit again given the $20+ entrees and quality. Interior of restaurant very cheaply done. Could use a coat of paint! Service was good. Attentive waiter. No way to individualize the check so one person had to pay the entire $300+ check and then receive venmo from the others.Parking: Parking ramp directly across the street.

Simon Alam: Nothing special here
Bjoern Hamberger: Small but very diverse menu, with all protein including vegetarian options. Zippy, attentive service, all in a modern and clean design. Portions were again too big to allow for dessert, but we had some of the shareables before. Good beers on tap, yay! Planning to come back. This place is just hidden between student pubs and could see more traffic. Yet, it was busy, which is an excellent sign. Great value for the quality. No changes for the visit today. Yay!

Brit K: Was super excited to try this place out, as a client highly recommended it. They were out of a lot of items, including rice which I thought was notably weird. We ordered the mushroom bruschetta as I love mushrooms! It was not good at all, I didn’t want to swallow the first bite. Whatever they put on the top tasted like it was fresh out of a can. My husband ate it because he was starving. I got the spinach salad and added chicken. The chicken tasted rubbery like they heated it in a microwave from something pre made. I ended up replacing it with steak and the salad was decent. Husband got the steak with mashed potatoes. He’s a picky steak eater, gave it a 4/10.Didn’t have any cocktails, maybe that saves this place. I wouldn’t come here for dinner again unfortunately.
