Narrow it down

Tripadvisor is not connected — nothing has been read from it, so it shows no reviews rather than zero reviews. No review platform has given us credentials yet; their reviews here arrived as a CSV export. 25 notes came from the group's own feedback form, shown unsigned as “Our own form”.

Waiting to be counted

Each one is a guess about who a review is thanking, with the words it matched on. Confirm it and it counts on the board. Reject it and it never does.

  • opentable5★Trent Okaforexact95% sure

    We came in for an anniversary and left already planning the next visit. Trent Okafor walked us through the menu without a hint of pretension. Still thinking about the Manhattan. We were 4 and the Manhattan was the one everybody reached for. Sit at the bar and let them cook for you.

    Booked on a whim, stayed three hours. Rodriego noticed my wife does not drink and built her a whole non-alcoholic pairing on the spot. the smash burger was the standout. Ordered the smash burger twice between 6 of us, which tells you something. We will be back.

    Third time here this year and it has not slipped once. Dee remembered us from a visit in the spring, which is not nothing. the martini alone is worth the trip. A 6:15 booking for 3 and not a single thing went wrong. We will be back.

    Half of this was excellent and half of it was a shrug. Rodriego walked us through the menu without a hint of pretension. the martini was the standout. the martini was underseasoned and nobody asked. Room runs loud when it is full.

    Our table was seated and then forgotten. Our server, Toni, never came back to check on the food. the smash burger came out lukewarm. Booked 9:30 and were still standing at quarter past. For this money there are ten better options.

The staff board

Confirmed credits only. 45 attributions are still waiting to be confirmed and are not counted here. A credit nobody confirmed is a guess, and a guess should never settle who won the month.

Nothing has been confirmed yet. The board fills in as the queue above is worked through.

Worth a look

Patterns in the reviews themselves, put in front of a person to read. None of this is an accusation and none of it touches anyone’s standing. Read the reviews side by side and decide what it is.
