Book Club Restaurant

The restaurant gets full on the weekend very quickly, so might need to wait a little if you go late. I didn’t have to wait and got a table right away. The tofu is crispy on outside and soft in the inside. It’s drizzled with sweet savory sauce and with each bit, you keep on wanting more. The korean pancake was also tasty and delicious. It was well seasoned and same sauce drizzled on top, along with two sunny side up eggs. I didn’t like the ham on the side as much. It was salty to my taste. The rice bowl could use more seasonings to make it flavorful and not bland. I enjoyed the living and fun atmosphere the restaurant brings in.

Overall [2/5] Food is not good. Don’t recommend and won’t be returning. Food [1/3] Shrimp skewer was very tasty and the only thing that stood out that night. The fried tofu was good but wasn’t anything memorable. The entrees were a huge let down. For how trendy this places looked, both the steak and chicken were very poorly seasoned and somewhat tough to eat. Ended up having to ask for the shrimp skewer sauce on the side and steak sauce in order to consume it. The roasted potato salad felt more like regular roasted potatoes, but at least it was tasty. Broccolini is pretty average tasting. Dessert (forgot to take photos because service was slow) was not at the level of a restaurant. Only decent one was the banana split, where there was some caramelization on the bananas that enhanced the flavor. Service [0/1] Very slow service. Other tables who order after us got food first. Ambiance [1/1] Great atmosphere, lighting, and decorations. Dining set was good.

Very charming place that feels just like a cozy family home. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to enjoy a meal. Our server was exceptionally friendly and attentive, which added to the overall positive experience.

Service and atmosphere was great! The drinks were very nice as well. The food was pretty mediocre. My chicken sandwich had a strange chewy texture but the fries were decent. My friend’s fish sandwich had a good amount of bones. Would get drinks again here but not food.

Loved the bread pudding here! Like a French toast that got dressed up for a fancy party. Coffee was perfect. I always hate when chicken sandwiches are too thick but the one here is crispy and just the right thickness. I haven't even eaten the Cobb salad I brought home yet but it looks beautiful. Great service and a nice atmosphere. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options labeled on the menu.

Edit again: their happy hour is awesome! Get the steak skewers! Mac and cheese could use a bit more seasoning though. Edit: I haven't visited this place since my last review, and it still did not disappoint. We didn't catch the bartenders name, but they were so kind and made our experience truly that much better. I love to try a little bit of everything, so they did their best to make it work for me and I was so pleased. We didn't realize they did last call for the kitchen already and the bartender went out of their way for us. I can't say enough good things about this place. I love the vibe, service was great, they make a delicious dirty martini and if you're considering getting the grilled cheese with kimchi- don't hesitate and just order it. You will NOT regret it. This place is phenomenal and quaint in every way you'd expect a restaurant called Book Club to be.

Delicious, fresh, scratch, comfort, friendly, ambiance... words I'd use to describe Book Club. We had skewers and the tofu to start. All were super tasty and highly recommend. We then had the broccoli mac and a fried chickend sandwich. The chicken sandwich was top notch. The mac was also fairly tasty.

For me the food saved this place. It had that odd smell that you find in some restaurants. The server and host were fine but seemed bored. There was a nice booth available but they stuck us at tables(which need updated.) My group of 5 all enjoyed everything we ordered and the cocktails. Pricing is fairly decent as well.
