Great food. Awesome tap list. However, don't rely on very quick service on busy nights. I had the breaded snapper and it was perfect. Also have the fried brussels. Can't go wrong at Lake and Irving!

Run by brothers Chris and Andrew Ikeda, this new Uptown spot features American food with Asian influences. Think: lobster tostadas and misoyaki salmon. Plus, brunch.

I was definitely impressed! Great service and food! My friends and I shared the corn nuts and fried mushrooms and they both were excellent! I ordered the salmon quinoa and it was flavorful & filling.

Great food, unfortunately service is a bit slow. We recommend the chicken & waffles and the brisket hash. Potatoes are great for sides.

Fantastic service from Erin. Great food. Pork sliders, corn nuts yum! Chicken sandwich was delish, extra pickles! The many meat sandwich was also good. Happy Hour specials.

The Patisserie 46 brioche bun with the cheeseburger is perfect.

Great food and beer selection... The chicken sandwich was awesome. Surly Abrasive is always good, of course.

Burger is solid, bun is really good. Still prefer the chicken sandwich though.

Get the Brussels sprouts because they will rock your world.

The "in-between" menu (from 2-5 pm) isn't vegetarian friendly, but the dinner menu looks bomb!

Bartenders are oblivious, and terrible at service. Sat at the bar for 25 with no service.

Not nearly enough bathrooms.

Decent food, but slightly overpriced. Also, if you bring me my ketchup in a ramekin vs full bottle, you insult us both.
