Im highly disappointed with this establishment! I had a reservation for a large party for my husbands birthday. I called them letting them know we were running a little late. They assured me it was no issue. We arrived about 3 min late, and our guests were around 10 min late due to detours in the area. Management proceeded to tell me I would only have an hour and a half at my table because another party was coming after us. What type of restaurant gives large parties time limits on their dinner? Its extremely unprofessional and extremely unwelcoming and shows the true lack of customer service. I have never felt so unwanted and degraded. Thank God I was able to find another restaurant across the street who gladly took us in last minute and saved my husbands birthday dinner. So please beware- if you come here to eat you will be TIMED and pushed out.. if you are looking for a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere.. DO NOT GO HERE!!

Great food and drinks every time. Really good menu with various choices that isn't your average american restaurant. Plan ahead if you come on a weekend, always a wait on the, must make reservations. Definitely one of the favorites on Las Olas that doesn't disappoint.

Brunch is awesome! Drinks are great $13 unlimited mimosa. One of the best places for a great brunch or dinner with very timely service and good food

UNSANITARY AND MANAGEMENT DOESN'T CARE!!! I was at the bar and noticed the bartender put his hand in the ice bin to pull out one of those big round cubes of ice. No tongs. No ice scoop. He did not wash his hands before, that I could see. I was really surprised. I'm like, "Who does that? Didn't he take a class in health regulations?" So now I'm watching him, wondering if it's a drink for him or is he really going to serve it to a customer. And he was all over the place adding things to this drink (I think he was making a Manhattan). He came to my side of the bar and proceeded to stick his entire hand into a syrupy cherry jar to fish out a cherry. He went to get something else and then came back and again stuck his whole hand back into this red gooey mess to yet fish out another cherry. YIKES! The whole jar with all the syrup was now contaminated from his hand. I'm like a little grossed out at this point and really can't think of anything else. Truly, I'm not a neat freak or obsessive in anyway, but what he was doing had such little disregard for sanitation, it was negligent. Our food. which was simply a slice of cake, was taking forever anyway so we left. I called the manager the following day thinking he would actually care and he gave me the whole spiel of, sorry, will talk to him about it but then went on to say, well, you never know what's going on in the back of the house anyway so don't worry about it, you're food probably isn't handled in a clean way anyway, sum and substance. I told him front or back it should be done in a sanitary way. It was a ridiculous response he had and I'm now concerned about ever eating any food there. So stick to what comes from a bottle in that place. They seem not to care about sanitary regulations.

Good food and busy place. I like the tavern feel and the booths. I had a cheeseburger and fries. Both were cooked appropriately. Service was friendly. Prices are high for my liking but normal for that area. Two of us had dinner and drinks for around $90. Finding parking can be a challenge. Be sure to feed the meter. They were out giving tickets the night we were there.
