Service 4/5
Pleasantly surprised by the nice ambiance (lots of windows and hanging lights) of the place. Service was excellent aside from the very end when we had to ask for the check after a long wait.
Drinks: Both our guys ordered the old fashioned. It was good, but not great. Station does it better.
Mocktails: Us girls tried one of each (the R&B? and the Not in Kansas anymore). I like the R&B slightly better, however both were very sour, neither of us finished the drink.
Appetizers: We very much enjoyed the cheese board ($14) which easily satisfied the 4 of us sharing it, wish there was slightly more bread/crackers tho. We also loved the corn break which comes with a flavored butter. However, the cornbread at Porch is better if not cheaper.
Veggie perspective: food is generally veggie friendly with at least two sandwiches and two mains that were veggie/vegan friendly. I incredibly enjoyed the seitan hoagie which was HUGE (I took the other half home) with tasty good quality seitan sausage and spread on a generous and buttered bun. If you get a side, ask for the house salad (it is divine!, delicious endive/frisee with the most amazing light dressing, beets, and cheese, my favorite part of the meal).
My husband enjoyed the steak ($26) however said the meat could have been a better cut for the price. It was perfectly cooked to what he asked for.
Dessert: We had the vegan apple crisp which is diced apples with granuola/crumble on top. Not great, probably wouldn't order again.
People complain about the price. It is pricey for what it is, which I would say a fancier version of "Porch". Splitting the check for 4 people who had a drink each, 2 appetizers, an entree each, and 1 dessert it was more than $35 a person without tip.
Staff were very attentive during the majority of our meal and were lovely enough to realize it was my husband's birthday and dessert came out with a candle on top. We absolutely appreciated that detail. However, we ended up waiting around for 20 minutes after dessert and having to flag someone down to get the waitress to split our check.
Will probably return again for a date night but this probably won't be a favorite hang out.
