Beautiful restaurant very fancy but food is horrible …. Year ago it was better everyone says… Steak was stone couldnt cut it and it said ny strip no way that was !!! Also salad dressings made in house only 2 choices really not good…. Salad Chicken 12$ more was horrible… The 29$ board of apperizers shrunk by half and everything on the board other than pealed almonds and mini cukes tasted off ….no flavor very weird old?!?! odd … NA drinks were sooo bitter not the right flavor more like frozen made nothing fresh and not sweet at all…. Server gave all the wrong info because we asked before ordering…even the desert chocolate meringue the chocolate was bitter and salty?!?! And meringue was marshmallow so not what it needs to be … Food is horrible for this kind of place …. Re-visit the menu!!! It is so high priced food needs to be one of a kind !!!!!!! $100 per person for steak mashed and one desert one NA drink!!!! Again restaurant absolutelly beautiful every corner of it!!!!! Fix your menu!!!!

Went for brunch with my family, and had an overall positive experience! We love Tailor and the Cook dinner, so we thought we’d try out their brunch. Pictured are: Breakfast Skillet, Blueberry Pancakes, Biscuits & Gravy, Pizza Fritte, Bloody Mary, and Seasonal Mimosa.
Breakfast Skillet: 9/10! Had both sausage and bacon in it, along with eggs, potatoes, onions, peppers, and cheese.
Blueberry Pancakes: 8.5/10. Pancakes were good but a bit too well done. If they included blueberry jam on the side or in between pancakes that would be a hit!
Biscuits & Gravy: 6/10. Underwhelming, and not what we were expecting. Gravy had an Italian/pizza sausage taste, as opposed to a typical southern sausage gravy. Biscuit itself was fine.
Pizza Fritte: 10/10!! Perfectly done. Piping hot when they arrived at our table; so fresh! Blueberry jam was a fantastic addition.
Bloody Mary: 8/10. Unique addition of furikake and sesame seeds, but overall very good!
Seasonal Mimosa: 10/10! The blood orange liqueur made this drink! Very very delicious.

Great food and a great atmosphere. I had the seasonal smash burger and it was excellent. The menu strikes a nice balance between seasonal specials and staple items, and everything was well executed. A well rounded spot that I’ll definitely be back to.

This is a stunning restaurant and it was simply an amazing experience. Pictured are some highlights! We had the sparkling cherry limeade (non-alcoholic), the beets & feta salad (oven baked feta/blueberry puree, candied hazelnuts/pea shoots); the crispy smashed salt potatoes; the pan seared steelhead trout, and the crispy pork belly macaroni & cheese with house-made elbow macaroni. Our food was spectacular – hot, tasteful, and attractively presented. Our waiter Sebastian was a gem – and even the general manager was on site and attentive. Don’t miss the experience for the world!

The ambiance and lots of separate seating areas make this a very comfortable eatery. The food is unique, tasty, presented well and made from fresh ingredients . Put all of this together with an attentive and friendly waitstaff and you have a WINNER!

We were genuinely excited to try this place for a special night out, but the experience was disappointing from the start and resulted in cold meals that were then microwaved into mush.

The host greeted us with a frustrated, dismissive tone, “Well, that’s not really a real reservation,” simply because we had booked earlier that evening. He was condescending, instantly making us feel unwelcome. We asked to sit outside and he resisted, claiming it might rain (it was a beautiful evening with 0% chance of rain in the forecast).

Sadly, the food didn’t redeem the experience. Our meals arrived completely cold. The flavors of the chicken riggies and pork belly over parsnips were very good, but both dishes were cold to the touch. When we quietly shared that the food was cold (something I’ve never done or had to do before), there was no explanation or apology or choice for how to rectify. The plates were grabbed without communication and returned as microwaved, mushy versions of what we ordered. The pork belly came back rubbery. It took over 20 minutes to receive a single beer. And a table nearby was delivered the wrong meal. This was a Sunday quiet night with a mostly empty restaurant.

This was the first time I’ve ever left $0 for a tip, and I say that as someone who always tips generously.

A special occasion ruined by poor service, cold food, and zero accountability (no acknowledgement or apology or reduction on the bill).

Dined in for special occasion. Neighborhood and the square have evolved into a great destination. A warehouse / loft district revitalized. Restaurant itself has great ambiance with exquisite attention to detail (along with one of the nicest cleanest bathrooms I’ve seen). Decor and lighting top notch. Everything we ordered was extremely well done. Portions were appropriately sized. Wine and beverage list well thought out with good mix of local options. Was a great experience and would highly recommend.

It was good but service was very slow. They offered us free drinks to make up for that which was very generous. The food was a bit hit or miss — amazing potato soup, excellent chicken but stringy spring peas, and flourless chocolate cake that was way too sweet. Others enjoyed their meals

Tailor and the Cook is by far my favorite restaurant! We love both their delicious entrees and amazing ambiance! Their commitment to excellence and to farm to table are unmatched!
An example of Tim and Steve’s gracious hospitality is they welcomed one of my recent bridal parities for some portraits and a round of drinks.
Their staff was so kind, gracious and welcoming! My team, my couple and their wedding party had a quintessential experience at Tailor and the Cook!!! We could not be more grateful!
