Went on a Sunday, waited at the door for a host/hostess and nobody came to us, meanwhile the servers kept looking at us as they passed. Eventually just sat at the nearest table, just assuming that it was seat yourself, after like 10 min a an older woman with blonde hair comes to us, we asked for menu’s and she scolded us about seating ourselves then goes “it’s fine just stay”, then never brings us a menu. A man comes gives us menus and serves us water in plastic cups something about the dishwasher being broken which was no big deal understandable, until we look around and realized we’re the only ones with plastic cups, already upset we contemplated leaving but it was a busy sunday and we’re hungry so just hoped the food would be satisfying. We placed our order with a woman and the Mozzarella Balls we’re good and came out fast, but this woman never came back to our table, we had to flag down another server for water. Friend orders a spaghetti that was barely sauced, I ordered the raspberry habanero wings that were soggy and entirely too sweet, neither of us finished the food. My other friend ordered the mac & cheese and it was awful, super watery, no cheese, they did not eat it & requested it be taken off the check, after asking the server goes “is it too spicy for you? “ as if she could not see the puddle of noodles in the dish. Again no one came back to our table, we physically had to put our coats on, pretend like we were leaving for someone to come over and ask if we wanted our check, it became a running joke at the table to the point of where we were betting on how long it would take them to come to us. I get being understaffed or just really busy but that was absolutely ridiculous, food was bad and so was service....

Came to this place after another restaurant nearby only took cash and my group didn't want to waste time finding an ATM. Already Hangry and tired, we came to this place ready to eat. Our order was taken promptly. I ordered the Creekstone burger which was the most expensive one on the menu. The burger included string fries and a side of fried Brussel sprouts. I was really hoping this burger would be everything the menu made it seem to be. Unfortately it was not. The burger tasted like the quality of a 5 Guys burger. There was no flavor. It's really saying something when the best part of my dish was the Brussel sprouts.

In the giving mood my group shared food so I also sampled the Kale, Cranberry, & Walnut salad. It had the makings to be great except for the fact that they chose a lemony vingegarette to top it with. The flavor was just so overpowering you couldn't enjoy anything else in the salad.

The food here is mediocre at best. Given the price ti's definitely not worth it. If I'm ever around the Jane Street area again, I'll remember to bring cash next time and go to the first...
