"Ate here with my son on Friday night. We were seated right away. There was live music playing close to our table which we enjoyed but between that and the bar it was a super noisy place. The food was good but not great. The worst part was our waiter was over-tabled (I'm creating a new word!) and we didn't see him much. I had to snag several other passing waiters to get stuff for us. Overall a nice night but not somewhere I would return anytime soon."

"Normally, when vegetarians go to a brewery or brewpub, they presume they'll be relegated to typical bar fare, or at best a salad and the single lame vegetarian option. Well, we were happily surprised to see that Faultline offered "can be made vegetarian" as an option on a number of *interesting* dishes.
One friend had the gumbo and I had the jambalaya. There was a third vegetarian dish on our table, but I no longer recall what it was.
We were so impressed we wanted to go back for more the next night. Sadly, Fautline is not open on Sundays (at least as of this writing). =(
In fact, their hours appear to be limited. We tried to send some friends there later (we had an early dinner on Saturday), but they were already closed by 9:30pm."

"Very good steak and other items. We found the service to be really to quick and it seem that they wanted to rush the group out of there. Half the table ordered steaks and they came within fifteen minutes. Even before our appetizers."

"Love the food; hate the service. The waitress that helped us was awful. She would take our order and we wouldn't really see her until we got our check. She didn't ask us if we wanted refills for our drinks, she didn't ask us did we need anything else, or ask us how our food was. None of it, we came in as a large group of 10 so I am not sure if she thought that since she already got us paying 18% gratuity she didn't really need to serve us."

"We went on a Tuesday night and couldn't find any parking, and Faultline has a large lot! Had to park across the street in another lot.
My friend asked if she could swap out a sidedish and the waitress said "sure"--what she left out was that there would be an extra charge for it (surprise on our bill).
Enjoyed the food--good size portions."

"I enjoyed the restaurant and the service was OK and my starter was nice (after I had reminded them that I had ordered it). My issue was with the main. I ordered the Cajun Tri-Tip and it was terrible. Probably the most tasteless meal I have ever had. The tri-tip was tough and had a fatty taste and the Cajun sauce had virtually no flavor. The worst was the potato au gratin which were terrible and tasted like they were bulk made a week before. All up I ate about one quarter of the meal before I decided I could not stomach any more.
My experience at Faultline in the past has always been very good and the food excellent. That was not the case this time.

"It was very good although our waiter didn't quite know the menu. We specifically asked about seafood due to allergies (if the Cesar dressing has Anchovie paste in it) and he kept saying no when in reality, it does. It is a good thing I did not listen to him on this one which was more serious. The other item was if the Tuscan Chicken had green bell peppers or different and he said yes, they are green...when again, no, they were red and not really a problem we were just prepared to pick out the green. A true waiter will know the menu and would be willing to go ask about a certain ingredient especially one that would cause a severe reaction."

"Tried this place for the first time for a business lunch. Despite the fact that we were seated in a far corner the noise level made conversation difficult.
The food was good although the menu was quite limited. A few burgers, a very few sandwiches and four salads. For whatever reason salmon features prominently on the menu (neither good or bad but . . . odd), not in the mood for salmon - you've just eliminated a quarter of the menu. Not in the mood for a burger . . . there goes another half.
Service was uneven. This is one of those "we'll only seat you when your whole part is here" places. Quite strange as the place was way less than half full. I'd go back in a pinch but would look elsewhere first."

"The calamari was excellent and not greasy, plus the dips with it were fantastic! The Groupon deal got us in the door and loved the beer samples. Our waitress, Danielle, was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend to a friend and to try the blackened salmon salad."

This restaurant was packed, but despite the amount of people, the noise was not deafening and I was able to have a good business discussion with my dining partner."

"I enjoyed the scenic view it was a great restaurant to get away from the office and enjoy a nice relaxing lunch. We had the sirloin hamburger and it was the best. I will definitely go back to try other plates. The service was exceptional! I left something behind and the hostess called me immediately to let me know I had left it on the table. Now that's great service!"

"I made a last minute lunch reservation for 7, which they were able to accommodate very easily. We were seated at a round table, which was nice, but the restaurant was a bit too noisy to hear well across the table. Remember to ask for bread! It's written in very tiny font at the bottom of the menu that they only serve bread on request. The wait for a large party's food was a bit lengthy, and we definitely should have asked for bread earlier!
Our server was very energetic and accommodating, but sometimes it was hard to get attention when we needed waters refilled, etc. Overall, it's a nice place with decent food and beer."
