    The Ambiance of this restaurant is very unique and inviting. Although the food that we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented, I wish they had a few more options for people. There aren't very many options for sides and it gets a little confusing as to what is available. You can tell that the chef it's a lot of careful thought into the dishes.

    Deeply mediocre food, and very expensive. Got a bowl of “blistered” shishito peppers as an app. They were raw. Asked about it, and they brought out a “proper” bowl. Still more raw than cooked. And the quantity was so off. 4 people could not have finished all those peppers. The $19 burger with its pickles and Russian dressing is trying to be an upscale Big Mac. Well you hit it. Tasted just like a Big Mac, for $19. It came with fries. Greasy, soggy fries. McDonald’s gets that better. My wife enjoyed the half chicken. But she could only eat half of it because, who can eat half a chicken? Instead of $34 for a half chicken, maybe less chicken for less money? Servers were great. Nice atmosphere. Menu needs a rethink.

    Hello Chris, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about your experience at Lockbox. While I am deeply disappointed to read about said experience, this review will be used as a learning tool and coaching opportunity for our staff. This is not a typical experience of our diners and if you will give us another chance to make it up, I will ensure that your experience next time around will be worth the trip.
