    Pro's: Service was top tier and attentive. The ox ragu was phenomenal however that focaccia bread service hit the spot. Con: The Salmon came out ice cold, like not even room temp and lacked all flavor however it was cooked to perfection which confused us both. Overall I would go back again.

    Mordecai is such a lovely restaurant, with a beautiful view of Gallagher Way. The restaurant was empty on the night we were there, so we had very good service from our wait staff. Unfortunately, the kitchen seemed to be having problems. My salmon was undercooked and couscous was cold. I sent it back and it came a second time somewhat warm but not hot, so I ate it. I like salmon more cooked, but I was not asked about this. The others in our party were satisfied with chicken and also with the risotto, so it was only me.

    40 minute wait to get our drinks and then the server forgot my husband's meal. My meal was good but very overpriced.

    Really enjoyed our first experience! Great service, great meals, cozy yet modern aesthetic, and prices were reasonable! Had the salmon, burger (with beef fat fries!), fried ravioli and apple fritters. All delicious! We’ll definitely be back.

    This restaurant is doing everything right. The food was delicious! I had the pear salad with chicken, and my husband had Oxtail rigatoni. The wine list is now better; of course, they had a lot of fun mixed drinks and rare spirits. The bartender was knowledgeable.

    Main bartender was unfriendly to the host but the guy bartender that stepped in was incredible. The food is mediocre and the cocktails are as well. Great space and ambiance. Wish the food and drinks were better.

    The food was delicious but had some of the best service my girlfriend and I have ever had at a restaurant. Brandon was warm and kind and very helpful in wine selection and meal ideas! Beautiful ambiance and the music selection was fantastic!
