but I don't trust online reviews so much, unless they're on HIVE.

I'm often disappointed with places that are so cute. Your expectations are raised by the well done, thought out decor. The food was visually appealing, gotta give them that. Maybe I'm just becoming a grumpy old man but I feel like service isn't coming back to pre-pandemic levels. Covid gave places a valid reason to be short staffed and focused on getting by not excelling. Now Covid is out of crisis level and I feel standards may have taken a permanent hit.
