Good apps. Food is interesting, but execution is only OK. Service is OK. Nothing spectacular, but the real estate is expensive, and the people-watching is great.

The good news, if you go with people you dont like, you can drink off your annoyance. ;)

Made a reservation, arrived early and spoke to the hostess, who kept us waiting as she sat walk-ins before us. Eventually gave us a slanted table. Food: bland. Service: fine. Drinks: pricey & small.

Order the Summertime Corn Pizza, Sit in the window, and watch the Doucherific people come in and out of Ed Hardy. It's Hysterical.

Love at first sip with Cotes du Rhone Blanc. Steak salad is almost too meaty to be salad but hey I am not complaining ;)

You can't leave without their chocolate bread pudding! And their burger is killer, too.

Do brunch and get the huevos or the pancakes. And the espresso martini, of course!

Nice location, terrible service. They force us to have a coffee on the couch area despite having many free tables. Coffee not so good. Avoid next time

Don't scream "titty grab" while trying to grope a server in the middle of a busy Friday night... :)

The Bread Pudding is the best!
Rachel NolanJanuary 12, 2014
I ordered based off the reviews... Chicken pizza was bland, not good at all!! Eggs bene needed flavor & salt. Skip the clam chowder too. Server was awful (coming from someone in the service industry).
