Your restaurant has great potential, but you are going to put yourselves out-of-business if you do not make some changes. We had lunch inside around noon today and were the only ones in there until we were leaving around 1:00 p.m. - three gentlemen came in and sat at one table. Outside -three tables were occupied. Three sets of couples came in and waited at the reception area but the only waitress was in the back and did not see them, so they just left. You need to move the reception area so that you can see people coming in.
My husband and I had brunch on Sunday and it was alot of food. The service was not great and the order was confused, but we did not mind as were just relaxing. However, my lunch today was so scant that we asked for bread to try and fill up a bit and now I am eating a bowl of cheerios as I am starving. I ordered the scallops for $10 and although it was very tasty, I only got 2 scallops on some lettuce - FAR too little for $10.
I hope that you survive because you are nice people and have a very good chef. We may return for an evening of music but probably will not return for a meal....not because it isn't good...it is just too disorganized.

This place has great bar food and a very decent selection of draft beer. Happy hour is hands down the best deal in town with $3.50 appetizers and really cheap drinks. (4:30-7, M-F) The service is always good and you can't beat the value!

Guiness lovers! Pack your Red Socks hat, pool cue and appetite! (But leave the darts and rugrats at home.) We have been there twice and have had great and interesting times. The first time I had Tartleton(?) sandwich, she had the veggie sandwich and

After having pleasant meals here three times, the fourth time resulted in the only case of food poisoning I have ever experienced. Once I overcome the present aversion I now have to tofu stuffed acorn squash I might return to Escafe. Their menu is ve
