I really wanted to like this place and was excited to try the food. We live walking distance and I love to support local and the... shop looks so cute..... i gave it 2 stars cause the kid that took our order was sweet and its a clean place. But the food was sobland underseasoned and not at all what i was expecting. I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup and my bf ordered thepenne with braised beef. You would think you couldn't mess up grilled cheese but they managed to there was more onions thencheese on my sandwich.... no cheese pull at all. The tomato soup tasted like marinara and infact my bf pour some on hisextremely dry penne that had over cooked noodles and no sauce. Beside my soup they gave me a piece of dry unbuttered toast...what?! The same for the bread on my bfs plate. No butter. Then my side of greens was just that. A side of spring mix with littleto no balsamic or parm. I don't know who the people are on here saying the food is good. Apparently they don't like food withflavor. This restaurant is a shining example of "white people food" no seasoning on anything. My advice is put some cheese onthe grilled cheese at the least and butter the bread.... or give butter on the side, who wants dry toast besides people that aresick?! And put some balsamic on the salad... So disappointed. We paid and tipped and didn't complain but definitely felt likewe wasted our time and money. Read more

One of the best meals I've had in a long time. For starters we did the 3 cheese charcuterie. Entrée was braised short ribs. ... Great place for a date night! Read more

Nice little place. Very clean. Good sized menu with alcohol and coffee. Prices were a little high, but definitely worth what you... get for it. Read more

Unique, high quality, high class but approachable ingredients, selections in creative configurations. Great beverage list... including ample alcohol choices and non standard soda alternatives. Very fair prices and realistic portion sizes. It's alsoall delicious! Read more

The food is great, the wine is good, but everytime it takes forever to get anything. They will let you sit there with no contact... after you order for quite awhile. They talk to each other and stand in the kitchen. This is when it's slow. Don't come in whenit's busy; order online. Be explicit or you won't get it. I'd blame it on college kids, but the regular adults are the sameunless you are part of a continuous party that comes here. Just don't feel bad about the eye rolls, or side looks you get whenyou have to asked after awhile without your order of evan water while you wait. Very good, and the bad service is actually Worthit and they know, and act like it. Read more

See more reviews on our blog. killintheemptynest.com A nice quiet spot for a great meal and a glass of wine. The food here is... gourmet, the wine list is impressive, the employees are friendly, and the place is clean. Read more

This one time I came in here and we ordered two sandwiches then proceeded to wait for 45 minutes for our food to come when there... were only 4 customers in the store. Meanwhile, we watched a server with curly red hair bust it down on some dude's table forlike 15 minutes. Straight up, this girl was dancing and doing a weird squat trying to seduce the two dudes sitting there, whilenot even acknowledging our existence when we were patiently waiting for our waters and our food. Despite this weird anduncomfortable experience, I have come back here many many times for lunch and dinner and I never had to see that server or dealwith anybody like that ever again. I can say with certainty that this place is awesome. The servers (besides that one mentionedabove) are always very accommodating and respectful and the food comes out delicious and usually within 5-10 minutes. Thanks forthe amazing food and coffee, i'm always coming back for more! Read more
