   I have loved Scholar both times I went for dinner. Brunch however was another matter: Coffee was repeatedly given cold. They served coffee out of a creamer carafe. When they asked if we wanted cream or oat milk we asked for cream. They gave oatmilk and when asked for cream they insisted it was cream but then when we showed it was oat milk, they said they were out of cream 🤷🏻‍♂️. Food came fairly cold as well and it was unremarkable. My guess is that the brunch server team was the "C team". I will stick to dinner. 😋

   Food was excellent with great service. This a great place, but not if you're looking for a relaxing or romantic atmosphere.

   The server was also a bartender and she wasn't very pleasant. We looked over the menu, placed app order (based on our main course choice) then when she returned to take our main order she informed us that our choice was sold out...we would have ordered a different app if we had known this. Then our second choice for a main wasn't great, was fair.

   We were in from out of town and thoroughly enjoyed our time at Scholar. The ambiance, we sat in the lower level, was perfect. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Our food was wonderful. We had the flatbread, crab cakes and ribeye with scallops and loved it all. Service was great!

   Lot’s of groups of women so the sound was quite loud. Last time we went there it was a quiet ambiance, but last night there were a few rather loud voices. Food and service were very good! We’ll be back soon!

   From the moment I stepped into Scholar I was enveloped by an atmosphere that effortlessly marries sophistication with comfort. (A compete change from when it was the bar I frequented many years ago!) Dining on the lower level felt like stepping into an elegant study or a refined cigar bar, complete with leather couches, an inviting fireplace, and soft library lighting. Every detail was meticulously curated to create a warm and welcoming vibe. The drink menu was impressive, featuring a delightful selection of cocktails and wines. One of my dinner guests savored a particular Malbec that was so exceptional, he couldn't resist ordering a second glass. The appetizer and dinner dishes arrived promptly and presented with artistry that made them as stunning to look at as they were to taste. Each bite exceeded my expectations, offering a symphony of flavors that highlighted the chef’s dedication to quality and creativity. Overall, my experience at Scholar was nothing short of exceptional. I can't wait to return and share another evening filled with remarkable food & drink shared with friends.

    First time for us, we dined in the lower level, laid back, just right. Great waiter & bartender. the Food was very good. We are from out of town and we will be back.
