“The best experience we’ve ever had. We’ve been here 3 of the 4 years we’ve come to the area for business and every time has been great. This dinner though was exceptional. We had some strict dietary needs that needed to be worked with and the chefs went above and beyond for us to accommodate them. We couldn’t have been happier. The food was also absolutely insanely delicious!”
“Incredibly pleased. Great food. Wonderful service. Unique atmosphere. We stumbled in here because we were staying at the Hilton Canopy (attached) and wanted a quick dinner. We were blown away by the flavor. We gravitated to the more spicy options and wow what a good use of it. Service was attenetative but not overbearing or pushy at all. The price is what sealed the deal here. Two pints and a bunch of food, $50 before tip. A wild deal for nearly anywhere, let alone the Mill District. We very well may stop by this restaurant again even if we're not staying at the Canopy. Ya'll are great ♥️”
“My husband and I came here before a show at the Guthrie last evening. Our server, Kim, was knowledgeable about the menu and very nice! She helped us get out the door for our show quickly when we realized we were running a bit behind. Honestly everyone on the staff (host, manager, bartenders) were so friendly; they really made the experience great. For drinks we got the Basic Plus (if you like sweet drinks, it was so good!) and an Old Fashioned. We did the Arancini for an appetizer and then the steak and bolognese for our entrees—everything was delicious!! The atmosphere is classy, and we had a cozy spot in one of the big booths—perfect for a date. We had such a good time, we doubled back for dessert since our show didn’t end too late. Good vibes and food, and excellent service!!”
“I took my mom and family here for her birthday dinner, and we had the pleasure of being served by Ally. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. To put it in perspective, we were a group of 16 with a few people unfortunately arriving late, but Ally handled it all with patience and grace. She explained menu items clearly, accommodated dietary needs, and consistently checked in to make sure we were taken care of. She even offered to take photos of us, which was such a thoughtful touch. Her exceptional service truly made my mom’s birthday special. I really hope she gets a raise because she deserves it! The food was okay, but Ally’s service truly elevated our experience. At one point, I went to the bar to ask if one of the bartenders could get Ally for us. One bartender ignored me completely. I understand the bar was busy and that she wasn’t our server, but another bartender came over and kindly tried to help. He explained he didn’t speak English and asked the other bartender to assist me. Despite not serving anyone at the time, she continued to ignore me. I ended up waiting by the bar until Ally returned and helped us right away.”
“I rarely leave reviews, but my experience here was so disappointing that I felt compelled to share it. This was, without question, one of the top five worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. I ordered the Chicken Sandwich with a side of Broccolini but was mistakenly served the Smash Burger instead. No problem, I politely sent it back and waited for the correct order. While waiting, I tried the broccolini, which was so undercooked it was practically raw. I sent that back as well and requested fries instead. When the Chicken Sandwich finally arrived, I immediately noticed it was overcooked. The batter was extremely dark/burnt in several spots, and even the chicken beneath was dry and discolored. Against my better judgment, I took a small bite just to be sure I wasn’t overreacting, but it tasted exactly how it looked: burnt and inedible. I told the bartender that if this is how they serve the dish, it should be removed from the menu because it was truly awful. His only response was, “I’ll let the chef know,” with no apology or offer to remove it from the bill. As someone who travels frequently, I make a point to support local restaurants rather than chains, but this experience made me regret that choice. It left me heading straight for the nearest chain restaurant just to ensure a decent meal.”
