"Finally, a place with reasonable prices serving an excellent selection of beers! Wednesday special pricing is fantastic, and the happy hour specials on food are also great. Wonderful ambiance with large tables, sky lights, stone ledger accents, impressive bar, and more. They have TV's up in several spots as well so that you can enjoy the game. I will definitely be back with my coworkers!"

"Upon arrival apologized we had to sit at high top bar table because they had no room in dining area even though we had a reservation. Hostess apologized 10 minutes later because we hadn't seen our server yet. After the server took our drink and food order she never checked back. Tonic water in drink was so flat I went to bar myself and ordered another drink.
Bus boy brought our order. We had no silverware or napkins--so back to bar to ask for something to eat with. Host brings silverware and he checks back on us now. Prime rib ordered medium-rare was dry. Fish tacos OK. Sever finally checks back and brings our bill.
This is our second time back. There will not be a third."

"Went for Mother's Day brunch because all the usual suspects were booked weeks in advanced. I've been in a few times to have drinks at the bar but have not eaten much their. Figured brunch would be decent but it far exceeded our expectation. Excellent variety of tasty dishes. Will be back for brunch and will have to try dinning at Trademark more often."

"Food = tasty. Ambience = awesome. Bus boys = very attentive. Waitress = TERRIBLE. It wasn't crowded in the least and there were several other waitresses working, but ours seemed to be anywhere else but at our table taking our order. When she finally did take our order, the next time we saw her was when she brought the bill. The bus boys diligently and promptly cleared our plates, asked if we needed drink refills, brought the drinks, brought the food and routinely asked if we needed anything else. If it weren't for the waitresses being so awkward, unfriendly and unattentive, I would have given 4 or more stars overall."

"This was our second time at Trademark. We decided to return because our first experience was amazing. Unfortunately, the second time was not as great. The amazing chicken nachos we had the first time were a disappointment the second time. I don't know if they changed chefs, but they were definitely not as good. Our main course was just ok too, My portobello sandwich was very small and not much to it. My friend ordered a hamburger medium rare and it came to her medium. She said it tasted ok but would have preferred medium rare. At 8:30 a duo came in to play. They were very good but the volume was much too high. We had to shout to each other to be heard, We would go back but not on a Friday night."

"Arrived at 7:30 had reservation for 8. They attempted to seat us at a table for 16...way too big for the party size. Once we were seated we waited a solid 10 minutes to see the waitress. Drinks and pricing on par for the area. Ordered sushi and artichoke dip for appetizer. Appetizers took an hour to arrive. Not an exaggeration. Ordered entree before appetizers arrived just because we saw the speed of things. Drinks came pretty fast so IM sure the delays came from the kitchen. Sushi was terrible. I should have known better, this isn't a sushi restaurant. Artichoke dip much better. Entrees arrive an hour after we order. No silverware. No ketchup."

"We came there with 6 women for a birthday dinner. We thought there would be a band at 9:30, but that was cancelled, so our round table was actually where the band would have been. It was really loud and difficult to talk to one another. Also, 3 of us ordered the same kind of wine and when I ordered the same thing I asked the waitress if we should get a bottle. she never suggested it. Some of the menu items we had last time we at Thanksgiving were not on the menu, the turkey burger with apples.I ordered the steak flat bread, which was just like a regular thin crust pizza, way too thick and big for one person, took 2/3 of it home. She did bring a nice warm cookie with ice cream and a candle for our birthday girl, complimentary,which was great"

"This was my second time here for lunch. The menu seemed to be larger than the first time, but the prices went up a couple dollars on each item if I recall correctly. The food was good, the service was good, just nothing too memorable. There are plenty of places where I can get a comparable lunch that doesn't cost $13. Or if I want to spend that for a sandwich I probably would choose someplace "nicer"."

"Service was very good by both the waitress and bus boy. We started out with the cheese curds which are delicious, as well as the dipping sauce they are served with. They are not good for you...but for pete's sake they are fried cheese, and not intended to be healthy! At our table we ordered the parmesan crusted fish special, a cheeseburger, and prime rib. All were very good. One of the pieces of fish was not cooked all the way, and it was taken back immediately and a new piece of perfectly cooked fish was brought out quickly. The manager and waitress were very apologetic and our delicious desserts were on the house!"

"Food varied in quality. There were four in our group. One had tuna dinner special which was terrific. I had lamb chops--excellent and very reasonably priced. Two others had prime rib--one was alright--the other very fatty. Would not recommend the prime rib. Drinks were very reasonable and generous. Wine a bit on the pricy side. Very loud--we were there on a Saturday night."

"Unfortunately, we were very disappointed. Our waitress was very sweet but she was extremely busy and thus we lacked attention. One of our guests ordered wine which tasted sour and needed to be returned, however, was not taken off the bill until we requested. I recieved my entree well before the other guests and theirs came much later. The food was ok but my beer tasted flat. I never write a review but I felt it was necessary to comment this time."
