My husband and I came here on a Wednesday at 5:30 before a show at the Orpheum. We were sat and it took 20 min to have a server come by (while there were only 5-6 tables). It seemed that the host sat all 5 tables in a row as the others also had menus. I ordered the grapefruit hugo drink and it was really great and refreshing. There were many drinks on the menu that looked great. My husband got a CBD sparkling drink and he also enjoyed his. We started with the lyonnaise salad and they split it for us to eat. The dressing ended up only on my husbands salad and even so, it was very bland. We normally love this salad, so disappointing. The oysters were small and we did not know where they were from. Happy hour special was 6 for $18, so I didn't think these were worth it. I got the beef bourguignon. Beef, mushrooms, potatoes and onions were all pretty good. But the dish had more than 50% of it being the cooked greens, which were seaweed-like, slimy and fishy. It ruined the overall flavor and I had to pick around it. My husband got the rocky burger off the happy hour menu with a gluten free bun and it was good. Smash burger-like, messy but still good. He also got the HH mussels and it was barely drizzled with a broth, but otherwise had no flavor. He only had 5 or so and gave up. The woman next to us had the full appetizer and it was almost soup with the broth. This made us believe that the delivery of their food was very inconsistent and not being checked for quality before going out. We think of ourselves as creme brulee snobs and this one missed the mark. It had hazelnuts on top (that you could not scrape off) with lemon-cardamom flavor in the batter. It was pretty off and the hazelnuts took over the flavor. Didn't finish (I know, right?). It was busy by the time we left at 7. Our bill was $150 for the two of us, even ordering off the happy hour menu for a few items. Won't be coming back. Highlights were drinks, good location and fun atmosphere. Food and service totally missed.

They have a GF baguette! Gf options are marked on the menu but not all are celiac-safe so check with the server, they are really helpful!
