"The Lobby has delicious food and a lovely outdoor area. I think that for the price of the entrees, they could include bread or rolls. Then you could scoop up every last morsel without using your fingers!"

"Met a friend for brunch. Did not start out great as they did not have the OpenTable reservation in their system (or the guy didn't know how to use his own computer?). There was a table available in any case.The noise level was "energetic" as it is very open and with the number of diners at the max, it was fairly loud. The food menu choices were somewhat limited to the usual fare but the preparation was quick and the results were tasty. The wait staff service was very good (at least ours). Very attentive but no push to flip the table - again, very good. Overall, I would recommend The Lobby for Brunch for a great locale in the neighborhood, decent food, great Mimosa, and good wait staff service (but they should not lose reservations!)"

"After seeing the reviews on OpenTable and hearing good things from some friends, I was excited about going here for my birthday dinner. We had a good sized group of 11 people and made a reservation. I am sad to say that I was not informed they had a very limited menu for Saturday due to St. Patty's Day. The main reason I chose this restaurant was because of the menu options I saw online compared to the other places I was looking at. The small amount of menu items they had available were very good. The waiter did take away from the experience by not being very attentive and asking for payment options at a weird time in the meal. All in all, great food but they need to work on letting diners know of special event menus upon reservation."

"The Lobby appears to be a bit of a hidden gem. The food was very creative with a lot of interesting and great flavors. We had one dish where the chicken was a bit burnt but overall enjoyed our choices. We were there for restaurant week so I am unsure if what was ordered is on the regular menu. Their patio looks like a fantastic place to enjoy some after work beverages in the summer."

"The Lobby is a great restaurant for anyone looking for good food, excellent service, and a chill type of atmosphere. The management is also very accommodating and does what it can to make your requests happen. For example, I was able to make a last minute (day before) change to my reservation that more than doubled our party size. The bar tenders Tim and TJ were very friendly and knowledgeable when recommending what to drink.
I will be going here again soon!"

"We went to The Lobby on Saturday night. It also happened to be restaurant week. We've eaten here many times and they were off their game. I don't know if it was because of restaurant week, but service was less than expected. We also ate there on NYE and experienced similar service and food delays. It seems they are not prepared to handle nights that are more crowded. Typically we love the food at the Lobby and the service has always been a little hit or miss."

"The food was Subpar & the day we Dined there it was Valentine's Day and the menu was Scaled-back for the holiday & they failed to mention that on there Website & on open table. I would have not dined there knowing that they had a limited menu. They only had three Choices for each course. When the food was brought out it was VERY Flavorless & they do not offer any type Of condiments on any of the tables. Also the Portions of food where very small. The price of the food didnt match the price of the food. Three dinners three drinks $84 bucks. Not worth it at all. If you like high priced food, small Portions, & Flavorless food then this is your place. Not the spot."

"Our party of four ordered three burgers, all of which were overcooked. My husband enjoyed his steak sandwich. The fries and calimari were excellent, and they have a great selection of beer and wine. Waiter was very friendly, but service was curiously slow considering that it wasn't busy at all when we were there. We will return when we can enjoy the lovely outdoor dining area, but will steer clear of the burgers."
