    Had a great time with friends at Sonder! They had a great duet that we thoroughly enjoyed listening to. Our waitress was awesome and very attentive. I always love their Lavender Lemon Drops.

    This place has always had wonderfully good food, the problem was my daughter and her two friends made reservations to be greeted coldly (I saw I was there) when I picked her up she told me they were rude to them . From not refilling waters or checking if they needed anything , not having enough place settings and flagging down anyone who would pay attention to them, all the way to not getting the check and again finding any worker to help them . When I left her there I knew they were all mannered girls I never thought they would be so unseen because they are 16. They have jobs and work hard for their money I hate that they weren’t treated as well as older adults . Even after that two of the 3 girls left a tip one of them being my daughter. The way the hostess was treating them in front of me I wouldn’t have left her anything .

    We have never tried Sonder before and we were blown away. The food was outstanding and the service was amazing. Bria was our server and she was attentive without being "hovery", if you know what I mean. This was a very special dinner with family and this was the perfect spot. We had a couple of our party who had issues with loud sounds, so when the band started, Bria had us moved into a back room where we could still hear the AMAZING band playing but those in our party with hearing devices could still visit together. What an outstanding evening!

    We were a group of six senior ladies. Our waiter was kind and concerned for our well-being. This was our first visit as a group and we were pleasantly surprised. I have already recommended it to my other group for dinner.

    Food quality, taste and value are excellent. We had a party of 6, we all had sandwiches or burgers on Sunday for lunch. The inside tables were loud and noisy, they could use some noise dampening inside. So we ate outside which was just fine. They told us they were short handed that day, and it showed in the service, it was slow to even get us water, fortunately we were not in a hurry. When we made our order for lunch, the food came out in a good amount of time, so once the process started everything was relatively ok. Sometimes it was a long wait to get refills on water. (Again, running thin on staff). I had the French dip, which is always excellent. they need a larger bowl for the dip as it can be difficult to dip the sandwich, however taste was excellent. Others had the chicken sandwich, pastrami sandwich and burger. All excellent.
