    Food and service were both great. The linguine and clams is so good! The halibut was equally great, very fresh.

    I met 2 friends for a birthday lunch & all of us ordered the double smash burgers, we asked for water many times, the cheese in the burgers were like an American cheese not cheddar cheese & our French fries were cold. It was a different experience than any of my previous visits … we enjoy dining at Verbena but this was incredible disappointing Sorry

    Beautiful room, gorgeous location. Delicious seasonal drinks! The Napa cabbage salad with dates and pears was imaginative and very tasty. Limited non seafood options—huge breaded pork chop and a filet. Definitely will return.

    I really want to like this place but I can’t find a way. It’s in a beautiful location surrounded by walking trails and water in a great neighborhood. I’ve been here several times but always left wondering why I came back. The previous experience was terrible but it was a work function and I figured it was too many people to serve and not enough time. So we came back to try again but this will be the last time. The menu is somewhat sparse but the food itself is the real problem. The small plate rolls are regular rolls with Everything But the Bagel seasoning on them. The warm goat cheese was actually good but he main courses were so disappointing and underwhelming. The linguine and clams was as blandly standard as is sounds. The duck was flavorless with mushy skin on top of the sides. The amazing looking pork chop somehow managed to be so average that we felt absolutely meh about it, even stuffed with cheese and ham. The service was ok but impersonal and also just meh. Overall, this place is below average for the cost. I suspect it survives because of its location but we will pass on it the next time.
