Had a fantastic lunch at Hampton Social in Skokie. The service was excellent, and the food was top-notch. I had the chicken sandwich with house chips, both were delicious. My wife’s salmon was perfectly cooked and flavorful. It’s not the least expensive lunch spot, but the quality makes it well worth it. We sat outside on a beautiful summer day, and the atmosphere was great. Indoor seating is also available. Highly recommend giving it a try. You won’t be disappointed.

My wife and I absolutely adore going here for happy hour during the warm seasons. The patio is dog friendly so we always bring our fur baby when we can. Prices on the happy hour menu are extremely reasonable and the portion and quality of the food is perfect. Coastal inspired decor with a big love of Rosé wine. Frequent live music inside during select days and times, and a spacious interior if you want to host a big group. Only downfall would be the fluctuation in the service quality. Most of the time it's been great for us, but some days it can seem slow and inattentive. We were the okay couple outside and sometimes it felt as if they forgot about us.

My mother-in-law took me and my husband here for lunch yesterday. They had been there before, but it was my first time. We ordered the spinach dip appetizer for the table. My entrée was the Margherita pizza, my husband had the Honey Glazed Salmon,and mom ordered Crispy Coconut Tofu. My MIL and I were satisfied with our portions, but my husband said his was not filling enough. We also thought the spinach dip was quite small. I thought the ambiance of the restaurant was nice. Our server, however, was not very attentive. It took very long for us to flag him down for our check. The experience was okay, but I don't think I would go back. The value wasn't really worth it, in my opinion.

Cute, immaculate and delicious! Had the salmon with carrotts and kale. All were super yummy and a good sized portion. Very much regretring not getting the banana cream pie. This will be a must next time.

I had an English breakfast tea, mixed berry french toast, and a side of scrambled eggs with cheese. I really enjoyed the French toast. The ricotta with lemon, berries, and mint went really well together. It had the perfect amount of sweetness. The only thing that I have to say is that I think that the mixed berries would have been better if it was a compote rather than a syrup at the bottom. Or have some fresh berries on top. The eggs also needed salt. It was a nice atmosphere. It was just very loud and hard to hear our waitress. Our waitress was very friendly and our food came out fast.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We ordered the Bang Bang Chicken and the Greek Bowls—both were absolutely delicious! The Bang Bang Chicken was perfectly crispy with just the right amount of heat, and the Greek Bowls were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What really set the afternoon apart was the service—it was truly above and beyond. Every staff member was kind, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Can’t wait to come back!

I visited this place with friends and was impressed by the interior and the food, both of which were excellent. However, it was uncomfortable when the staff kept interrupting our conversation to check on us and clear plates too frequently. It was hard to tell whether they were being diligent or trying to rush us out. The prices also felt a bit high compared to the food.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was easy going. The live music was amazing! Waiter: Juan (New hire) Answered questions and was very hospitable.

Took our son here for his 30th birthday. Difficulty finding parking as in Old Orchard Mall and during the Christmas rush. Loved the decor of this spacious restaurant. Lots of lighting. There was live music. Our first time here. Not many items to order. Perhaps because it was Sunday and during lunchtime? We ordered items to share from the Shrimp and Crab Bruschetta, Calamari, Tuna Tartare, Bang Bang Chicken, and Monkey Bread. All items arrived fairly quick. All well seasoned. All very appetizing and delicious. Our entreés took a little longer to arrive but I didn't mind since we ordered so many of the shared items. Loved my Seaside Fish Sandwich, which was flavorful and breading of the fish light and crunchy. Lobster Roll needed more seasoning but they do give you large chunks of meat. I tried their Brown Butter Old Fashioned. Well balanced with the bitters not so overpowering. Could have had seconds!! Prices are a bit high and they automatically charged gratuity for our party, which was a party of 5. Overall a pleasant dining experience!!

The restaurant looked nice so we stopped in, but the place was loud, service was slow (not the server's fault, she was overworked), the food was mediocre at best and was extremely overpriced for what it is. In addition there is some mysterious restaurant fee added to our bill, plus a fee to pay with your phone. I left the place feeling like I had been robbed lol. Never going here again, that's for sure. Note to all business owners: I can't believe I have to explain this to you, but be up front about your pricing. Ditch the hidden fees. Customers *hate* them.

Stopped in for a quick happy hour. Ordered the south Hampton pizza, salad, and calamari to share between 2 girls. Our server even split our salad into 2 portions. The happy hour deals are too good. We will be back!

The Ambience feels a like a little touch of Florida We tried the Shrimp Tacos and the Fish and Chips. Both were delicious. The shrimp tacos were nicely seasoned and the fish and chips, which is Battered Cod was perfect. It had a nice batter and the cod was moist and cooked perfectly. I also had the Eastern Raw oysters which were good.

A solid experience was had here about 2 months ago for a weeknight dinner. L Rob, my 2 year old and I met up in wonderful Old Orchard for a sample of the HS scene in Skokie. Honestly this wasn't my 1st choice coming here but I was pleasantly surprised at the courtesy waitstaff and the food overall. Of course the decor was typical of all other locations but it is what it is! We all know it's about the people watching there! I had the Baja Fish Tacos which was tasty, fresh and great! My only beef was the lack of hot sauce available for this dish! Oh I forgot we started with the Beet Salad which was soooooo good! I would def come back but perhaps for a later dinner and some cocktails! Yes there is plenty of mall parking available.

My first visit with my daughter was in the summer of 2024, we had oyster trays etc, a very nice experience. Stopped by again this Saturday Feb.15 for early dinner, was told that the tap water is not available due to the Skokie water-main-crisis in the week, and they can only offer $9 bottle sparkly water! Okay, no problem. But later, I noticed that they offered bottled drinking water in the bathroom for customers to rinse their hands...so why not give free bottled water to customers in lieu of tap water? Especially when I see the next door small noodle place called Umaka Ramen offering free bottled water to their customers, I knew this Hempton Social restaurant is taking advantage of the water crisis situation. The menu has very limited selection if you are not for the oyster or lobster roll, more or less like a fast food menu. On a similar note to some other reviews I saw, the restaurant does charge a 3% surcharge, maybe simply for its trendy or chic settings. Having traveled extensively, there are many places that are overpriced, but I felt okay with them mostly. I just hate the feeling of being taken advantage of by some during unfortunate public health crisis.

As is our wont, my wife and I celebrate pre-Valentine's Day (far fewer crowds) and so had dinner here on February 13. We came at 5:30 PM to take advantage of the Weekday Happy Hour, the food specials in particular as we are not drinkers. We split the Southampton pizza and the Hampton Caesar salad, my wife had the Roasted Brussel Sprouts, we split the Smash Burger off the regular menu and finished with the Churro Cake. Everything was excellent. The waitress (Olivia) was pleasant and attentive. The salad was brought to us already split with the dressing and the bacon on the side for both of us as requested. The burger was similarly brought already split with house chips on each plate. We enjoyed the live singer but were glad we requested seating in the main room rather than the bar so we could chat without issue.

Loved everything about our meal here, except our waiter. He never came back to the table and offered to get refills, and seemed like he was only there to take the order, as another gentleman delivered our food. Aside from that we really loved the open-space feel and chill vibes. The musician was stellar on the day we were there (wish I'd gotten his name). Ordered a Caesar salad and added shrimp to the salad and I REGRET NOTHING! The salad was FANTASTIC! Would I go back? For sure! Would I actually know where to park this time--also yes!

We went on 11am Saturday morning brunch and was quiet when we arrived but started filling up around 12noon. The service was prompt and the food arrived hot and flavorful. We ordered frose and Bloody Mary which were nice but Bloody Mary is on a thinner side if you are looking for a thick Mary. Parmesan truffle fries were good portion and calamari was fresh and tender yet crispy. Clam chowder was chunky with lots of vegetables and some clams, topped with Bacon. The main was crab cake Benedict with chicken sandwich. Crunch from the apple in the chicken sandwich was unique and added texture.

If you are coming here make sure you arrive early to try and find a parking space. While you will be able to find parking, it may be nowhere near the restaurant. The food was good. However the menu is very limited and the prices are a bit high for what you get. Having them add shrimp to an already $18 salad took the salad to over $34. The service was very good and the place had a nice vibe. I probably won't be back.

Since our previous visit, Hampton Social seems to have become more polished and ingrained as a "you gotta go there" kind of place. It's bright and outdoorsy country club-ish. Overall, the place somehow lifts spirits such that even non-drinkers feel "high." But the noise level still challenges conversation and steep menu prices have gotten even steeper (where haven't they?). As observed by other Yelpers, those with dietary restrictions might feel challenged by the menu. But the kitchen is flexible and will gladly modify dishes upon request. My Missus is averse to cheese, her sis is diabetic, her daughter is vegetarian, and I can't stomach raw tomatoes. No problem! Our server was conscientious and helpful, and with a great sense of humor. Our party of 6 ordered from the Sunday brunch menu. We indulged in Bang Bang Chicken, Bananas Foster French Toast, Fried Chicken Stack, Denver Scramble, Sunrise Beach Bowl, and Hampton Caesar Salad with grilled chicken (me). All were prepared flawlessly and the portions were ample. Every dish delighted the eyes and taste buds. Mellow oldies performed by a guitar-playing vocalist added to our enjoyment.

I went here with my family for their Sunday brunch. They had live music with a young man playing acoustic guitar which was a chill vibe. Their food menu had a lot of variety, but it almost seemed like they were trying to combine too many things into their dishes. I've been to Hampton Social in Nashville. Their menus definitely have some differences. We ordered some appetizers and entrees. The food wasn't bad but seemed overpriced for what it was. Our server was friendly and attentive.

I've been here numerous times over the years, and while the decor and atmosphere seem promising, I always leave just whelmed, lol. I'm not overwhelmed or underwhelmed, just whelmed. The service has been okay. The food is okay for the price. I've had their lobster roll, the burger, the pasta, mac & cheese, and various appetizers, and they're okay. It's a good place for large groups and even for kids. The drinks are usually good, and on my latest visit, I was pleased to see they had mocktails as well.

Sasha Y.

Yelp
Perfect brunch spot, the decor and vibe is relaxing and fancy. The place is always busy so better have a reservation. Craft cocktails are delicious and picture worth looking. Variety of brunch entrees is amazing and everyone was able to find what they want. The service was a bit slow as the place was busy, but our waiter was very friendly and nice!

I've been here a couple times. The ambience is light and airy. The location is best when it is warm outside and they open all the windows and let the breeze in and let the outside come inside and vice versa. I've been for lunch, brunch, and early dinner. It's not a big menu, and they don't have a lot of options for me as I'm not a fish eater nor a salad eater. So I've had both the Smash Burger and the Shelter Island Chicken Sandwich. Both are decent enough, but neither are something to write home about; however both are solid options if you are a pickier eater like I am. The "handhelds" (sandwiches) come with house potato chips (does not state whether they are homemade or not, and truthfully, they weren't memorable enough to make me think they were). I've heard others like their salads and the fish and seafood options, so I'll say that those are probably your better options if you like those kinds of foods. They do have some interesting specialty cocktails and they are worth trying out. If you like one, don't just stick with it, force yourself to try the other drinks they make as they do a good job. As for their weekend brunch, the monkey bread is always a fun and tasty option. They have nice pancakes and the Bananas Foster French Toast is a treat. Their Fried Chicken Stack is very good and should be on their normal menu. On the sweet side, the donut drops are great and so is their banana cream pie! However, with so many options available (just in the mall alone), I don't understand how this is a destination. To me it seems a little overly pretentious for what it is and a little pricey for what they offer. However, if you're visiting restaurants not just for the food but also for the prettiness of the interior/exterior for your Instagram page, then this is the place for you. To me, it's just ok.

Met a friend for drinks and apps this evening. It's been several years since I was here but I have to say, the restaurant still looks fresh, bright, breezy and fun. Maybe it was the originator of the "rosé all day" pink neon with green backdrop back in the day but it doesn't look dated. We didn't have reservations but we asked to be seated in a booth and they found us a comfy spot right in the middle of the restaurant. There were several groups in the restaurant but it wasn't crowded or overly loud. We had a pleasant server who was very helpful and let us converse and linger without hovering or presenting the check right away. We enjoyed the calamari, a nice mix of rings and minis, lightly battered and fried, crispy with two dipping sauces. Also we split the spinach dip, covered with lightly shredded cheese, warm and creamy, with pita chips, cut veggies including watermelon radish. The menu isn't like reading the phone book. Just a carefully curated selection of apps, salads, pizzas, entrees. The lobster roll sounded tempting as did the ahi tuna bowl. We agreed that this was a really pleasant way to end the week.

I came here with 4 other family members and enjoyed the ambiance of the contemporary interior garden/farmhouse-like decor. The place itself accommodates large groups well in terms of space and there is a lot of seating available. For five people we got full off of the following orders: Crispy Quesadilla, Grilled Octopus, Shrimp Tacos, Parmesan Truffle Fries, Balsamic Glazed Skirt Steak, and the Short Rib. The food overall was delicious and well-made, but the service we received was sub-par. Our server took over 15 minutes to check in on us the first time for us to order drinks and food, then didn't come around to check in on us or refill our waters at all after the initial interaction. All-in-all, good food, great vibe, but mediocre service.

My family and I came here to celebrate Mother's Day with the in-laws. This is a huge restaurant plenty of seating. Very well lit with natural sunlight all through the restaurant. A beautiful bar with two huge televisions. Diana is our server for the afternoon very attentive. Our first course was a shrimp and crab bruschetta very good. I ordered the New England clam chowder for brunch. My only discrepancy so far is not having ice in my water. The kitchen is running a little behind and both the floor manager and Diana came to let us know right away. Excellent customer service. Well our entrée eventually came and it worth the wait. Below are the pictures of our entree's.

I've been walking by Hampton Social on my way to various stores in the mall and have always been envious of what I saw on the plates as I walked by. So I decided to make a reservation for my family of 6. We sat at a high table since that was all they had available. It was quite comfortable which exceeded my expectations. Our waitress seemed like she was going to be attentive but that quickly fizzled out. We asked for water, she brought us a pitcher but it wasn't enough for our table of 6. So we rationed. We ordered drinks, the Old Fashioned my husband ordered was made as a manhattan. My mom ordered the ginger old fashioned and we all had buyers remorse because her drink looked awesome. My kids ordered sodas. (Beware, no refills. $3/pop!) For my husband's second drink he ordered the ginger old fashioned. It arrived and looked and tasted nothing like the one my mom ordered. No fixings, no cherry, no showy fan...Whatever... so we ordered. My daughter is gluten free. They don't really have much which is a disappointment so she manipulated the salmon bowl to be gf. It was underwhelming. Honey glazed Salmon was excellent! Poke bowl was ahhh okay Short ribs- nothing special Lobster Mac and cheese- way to dry Desserts- bread pudding and tres leches forgettable and over priced. In the end, I don't think we'd come back. I also was a little shocked that they charged for drink refills. $3 for each soda refill.

First time here in a warm Saturday afternoon with my best friend. She lives close by and took me there after shopping and we ordered a pizza and a salad. Both are exceedingly good! The salad is one of the top 5 salads I have ordered in so many different places. Definitely try again if I do shopping with my friend again. We both agreed that it's worth going for the second time.

Yelp
The happy hour menu is quite affordable. The crispy chicken, truffle fries, salad and rosé were all delicious. This Skokie location has the rooftop section too which has cozy and fun vibes. Good place for a work mixer, girls night out, or date. The only downside to the rooftop is that their menu is not as extensive as the dine indoors part which also has pizza and more drinks. Overall a great ambience and tasty menu. Looking forward to also see what the dine in downstairs has to offer as well.

Andres L.

Yelp
The Hampton Social blew my expectation! I visited for brunch and its the perfect place to imbibe and enjoy the feeling of summer days. Almost as if you were on vacation somewhere! Their cocktails are so well crafted. I recommend the Rosé Sangria, ocean eyes, honey cove, or the Rosépolitan. The service was phenomenal. Our waiter was so attentive and the food was delicious!

I've been coming to Hampton Social in Skokie since it has opened, and I absolutely raved about it and couldn't wait to take people, or go back with friends. After last night, I think it will be my last visit. They've recently reduced the amount of items on their menu at dinner and the chicken sandwich was my favorite. It's only on the lunch menu now. There had previously been good side options, now there are only four items to select. If you do an entree like the burger, you don't even get a side anymore. $7 for chips or even fries is waaay too much on top of $19 for a burger. We went with a party of six and were hit the automatic gratuity and while our waiter was lovely, I think the amount of 18% felt a little high for what the service was. Then you get the surcharges and everything and usually, I'm not concerned about those because eating out is not a necessity in life, but our bill was over $350. The cost has become so high here that I am not sure the food is worth it anymore which is a bummer. It's always a cute place, they have decent live music on the weekends, but it's just not worth the cost.

Had a good time at Hampton Social. The space is absolutely gorgeous, it's like a summer house vibe. A bit on the pricier side but the dining environment is excellent. Live music even on a weeknight. We arrived when it was raining but they do have windows that open up. I think they're a tad short staffed, as the bartender took our orders (we were seated at the high tops). Btw they do have high top high chairs too so for those with littles you have a place :). I thought the appetizers are very shareable size and we ordered mainly from that list. Calamari was crunchy and hot. Octopus was tender and great deep octo-flavor Fried oysters were delectable I didn't have too much of the salad, but the chunk of pork belly bacon was a good bite. Amongst the 4 adults we left satisfied and full. We really liked the set the musician performed it was great for socializing. I'll definitely be back, we originally had seats on the rooftop deck, but of course closed with torrential rain. Next time I guess. It's located as part of the Old Orchard Mall so no problem with parking

We went with some friends- actually walked out before ordering. Thank goodness service was so slow. The prices are nuts. $10 for a beer!!! Dinner/drinks for four would have been over $300 easily. Not to mention extra charges added in for the price of food going up( apparently it never goes down). We went next door and stuffed ourselves on food and margaritas for $150.

Andrea S.

Yelp
Beautiful restaurant inside the mall. We ate here for a late lunch. The menu was small but managed to find something we liked and everything was delicious. We started with calamari for appetizer and had the crab cakes (double) for our main meal even though it was falso rom the share/appetizer section. For sides we picked the macncheese and roasted Brussels sprouts. Loved the pesto sauce that came with the crab cakes. But the best part of the meal were the roasted Brussels sprouts with goat cheese, almonds, and honey. Portion sizes were decent, not too big and heavy. I wish they have extra refills on drinks. Otherwise our server was quick but didn't really check up on us. I would recommend this place for a nice lunch.

Jen S.

Yelp
There's basically nowhere for vegans to turn with this menu. Meat dishes and fish dishes and dairy, oh my! I ended up getting a modified salad, but it required an elaborate dialogue with our waitress that made my head hurt. And reading their menu just prompted me to think about why I'm still vegan -- the extreme animal cruelty at slaughterhouses, the helpless fish flopping desperately on boat decks, the baby calves on dairy farms ripped away from their mothers mooing in anguish. Fun stuff. If they spent half the time and energy making their menu friendly to all diners as they do on their very nice decor, I'd gladly go back.

Jennifer M.

Yelp
Nice, coastal vibes. Place is very bright and open as well. It gave 2016 vibes with the focus on rosé, but it works. Our server was great, very personable and attentive. Food was good as well. My husband got the lobster roll and I the chicken and apple sandwich. My husband asked for a side of butter to go with his roll, which he thought really helped with the taste of the sandwich. I used some of it for the truffle parmesan fries we got as well, which were tasty on their own. Nice place to grab a bite or to relax with some friend after walking through the mall.

Oskar B.

Yelp
Service was excellent. While it took a little while after being seated to get the servers attention, once they were there they were attentive. The presentation was clean and the interior was delightfully green. The food stole the show though. The Hampton Caesar is a must, make sure to add the steak. The Parmesan fries were as crispy as you could want them.

Jessica D.

Yelp
I've been here so many times before, but this place just seems to be more disappointing every time I go. Service was slow and the prices on the food items were ridiculously over priced. I didn't expect to pay $145 for 2 people just for lunch. I also noticed when I scanned the barcode to pay online there were all these hidden fees. They charged me twice for state and local tax and there was a 3% fee for service charge and some other fees. Such a scam! I ended up paying $160 with tip. I won't be coming back here ever again!

Agnes K.

Yelp
The charm of the décor and the bright beachy feel draws you in. Sitting along the windows when opened during the summer is sheer bliss while enjoying an array of cocktails, watching people strolling by. The service has always been pleasant, and the food is delicious. While the menu prices are a bit high, be aware they do add on a service charge ( that you can ask to be removed) and because it is in the Old Orchard Mall, you will pay a higher tax.

We came here for a late lunch on 'Black Wednesday' and we were seated quickly - but that was the only quick thing about this restaurant. It took us at least 20 minutes to get menus our waters, and another 20 minutes to get our order in. The food came out quickly and was pretty good, but overall this restaurant definitely needs more waitstaff. I'd say about 60% of the tables were filled, so they were not near full capacity. The bang bang chicken and the Ahi tuna salad were both good quality and tasty. This restaurant is very bright and airy - it almost has a coastal feel to it. Overall, I would give this place another shot, but I hope their service improves!

My mom and I returned today to celebrate Mother's Day early. We were disappointed to see that the menu had changed from last time we were here, and three dishes that we had and really liked are gone: The guacamole, King crab jar and the shrimp and crab avocado toast. (They do still have regular avocado toast.) I was afraid to order the lobster roll again because this time it was market price, and when asked, we were told it was $35. That's very steep for what you get. So we ordered coffee and the crab cake appetizer, which was served with salad and green goddess dressing. The whole dish was delicious. We really wanted seafood but we settled for two of their brunch items; the Denver scramble and the breakfast burrito. Both were good and filling. I'd say we enjoyed our visit and the attentive service from Stephani.

Andrew B.

Went here and had a double smash burger with fries. It was $28 Before tax/tip. This place is obnoxiously overpriced. The burger wasn't much different than Steak 'n Shake. Nice atmosphere and good service but their pricing is way out of touch.

I have never seen such a well organized, efficiently ran restaurant like this in a really long time. The place is charming and the tables are spaced out perfectly. The live music was just the right volume. The lights and trees were uplifting and cheerful as it was snowing outside. We had forgotten all about the weather. The general manager and the additional manager I met were uniquely personable and so accommodating. The GM provided top notch customer service. The staff including the waiters, waitresses, hostesses and runners were absolutely hospitable and attentive through the whole evening. The restaurant was busy however the staff cheerfully kept up and made it look effortless. The neat and clean blue striped button down shirts on the waiters and waitresses were so refreshing to see in a dining environment. It was not loud and all of the customers including my table were completely enjoying themselves the whole evening. The champagne and seafood tower was delicious. The oysters were fresh and the ceviche was crisp and savory with hints of citrus. The shrimp, scallops and claws all fresh and sweet. The champagne was enjoyable and the bottle adorable. The fish and chips had just the right texture, seasoning and crispness. The banana cream pie was insanely delicious. The plantain chips were addictive. The lobster Mac and Cheese was rich and creamy. Pasta cooked perfectly. The tuna tartare was tangy and perfect. This restaurant was just a breath of fresh air and exuded a very authentic, happy and kind environment all around. I definitely will be back and I intend on visiting their other locations very soon in my travels. Thank you so much for an amazing experience and proving that there are restaurants that still know how to make a customer feel special. What a really remarkable place.

I came here for lunch and it was great. The inside of the restaurant is super cute and has a very summery vibe! I ordered the smash burger which was delicious, although it's a bit expensive, its worth it! The waiter was very nice, but the service was a bit slow.

Great food. Terrible music and stupid expensive. It's not in The Hamptons but prices as it is. Lower your prices

Excellent bar service. Easy to sit and be served efficiently. Had the oysters which were excellent. Parking can be difficult if mall is busy. Worth a visit

Ambiance is wonderful. Excellent service by Jamauria throughout the hour and half we were there. Food was solid bur perhaps not as memorable as the atmosphere/vibe. Of the dishes we ordered: Golden Beet Salad, the Southampton pizza, as well as the fresh oysters, and tuna tartare were good. The Caesar wasn't very very noteworthy. Enjoyed the banana cream dessert. The frose and g&t were refreshing coming in from the heat.

This really isn't a place that I typically frequent however my niece wanted to check this place out. And she calls it a bougie place where it's really more for Instagram and younger people. We had a variety of food with the family and service was relatively slow however there was a lot of people in the space. The food that arrived was kind of small relative to the prices, however if this is an Instagram type place, then it's really a place to experience versus a place of quality food. Food that arrived was lukewarm or a little bit cool, so I don't know if it was because it was on the cooked or it was because it waited too long before they serve the food. Overall it's a good experience. But I would probably not come back as this is not really my type of a restaurant.

I've gone there for lunch a few times and had generally positive experiences. The portions are average and the prices are a bit high, imo. The staff is friendly, professional, and prompt. The ambiance is calm and kind of sterile. Drinks are overpriced but delicious.

Terribly overpriced with two unexpected fees/surcharges. $34 for a chicken Ceaser salad?!? Attached a copy of our bill. One drink - other person had water. Spent nearly $100 for lunch - no appetizer and only one alcoholic beverage. There is an insulting 3 percent charge to "help" with rise in food prices and another $1.99 fee to pay your bill using Apple Pay. I've never heard of so many extra fees. Sadly this is only going to hurt the servers tip in the end.
