First off - I love that this place is in the deep nw. We need more of this quality restaurant up here!!
The staff are friendly, and I love the fact that you can call in and get into the wait list and they will text you when it's time to leave your house.
As a Dad with two kids, it's super refreshing to go to a place that's loud, and kid friendly. I don't have to worry about my kids making strange noises and getting 'the look' from people who don't realize that kids aren't dogs.
The food is quite well done, but not amazing. We've been a few times and my complaint is that it seems they are a bit rushed and as such the quality slips a bit. Potatoes are typically overcooked, and most dishes are a little on the greasy side from oil or butter. With all of that being said, the coffee, the food and the atmosphere are way above the average in our NW communities.
Just a small amount of focus and this place could be 5/5.
Ignore the clowns that say the place is too pretentious, those dorks clearly belong in humpty's with my grandma and grandpa.
I encourage you to call ahead and get on the list, you'll enjoy yourself much more than waiting nearby.
Cheers.
