The food is great, the experience isn’t.
The place is understaffed. They only had two servers working at 4-5 tables each. This meant that we were waiting for 15-30 minutes at a time. This wouldn’t have been a big deal except that they messed up our orders. We didn’t make drastic adjustments to the items we ordered either. Also, the entrees didn’t come out at once, one member of our party was delivered her meal 25 minutes after everyone else. She had ordered the same entree as two others in our party.
You’d think that the extremely limited number of menu items available would mean the kitchen wouldn’t have a hard time. They had three entrees on the menu and one wasn’t available. They had 8 appetizers on the menu and the first two we requested were not available.
We were not in a rush at all and we communicated that to our server. He complained that they were understaffed and claimed that “nobody wants yo work anymore”. This is obviously a sentiment being communicated to staff from an inept management team. There are plenty of restaurants in the area that have adequate staff. Just look at the much higher volume restaurants in the very busy USC Village just a few blocks away.
This is one of the most expensive restaurants on campus and there is no excuse for the limited menu and poor service we experienced. I don’t blame the servers. They were nice and obviously frustrated at a bad situation they didn’t create.
The food overall was good if overpriced, but I’m not inclined to...

It's fairly pricey but it's not a 'student' restaurant but geared towards managers and the service reflects that as well as presentation. It's a great place for a meal or drinks if you want a place on campus that's more upscale or 'fancy' as I like to say.
I liked the burger it's pretty good could have used more seasonings since the sauce wasn't enough taste for me. The fries were fine but not my favorite and for almost $20 I thought it would be better but it's still...
Read moreGreat place to eat in the middle of campus and a perfect place to hold conversations!
The service was exceptional and so was the taste of the TK's Buttermilk Fried Chicken sandwich I ordered. The cole slaw complimented the crunch of the fried chicken very well. Even though the fried chicken was made using chicken breast, it was surprisingly yummy and moist. The homemade potato chips that came with the sandwich had a nice crunch, but it was tad bit too greasy for my taste.
Yes, the prices are bit on the pricey side ($15 for the chicken sandwich), but you definitely get what you paid for - nice ambiance and good food.
DId I mention there's a free bread with parmesan crisp? I definitely have a liking for the...
