I loved the atmosphere. Our server Emily was top notch. The food was good. It wasn’t special, though the burger, wings and pickles were fabulous. The chicken sandwich and the kraut croquettes were good. In the morning, our server Taylor was tremendous. The avocado & salmon Benedict was very good. I would definitely come back. Thank you, Peirce Johnston

SASA is always fantastic. The food is amazing. Scott Kim is in the kitchen creating every dish to perfection. The staff is fantastic. They treat you like family. Everyone's incredibly friendly and accommodating. The place is beautiful. I love SASA. I would go there every night and never get bored. Also unlike a lot of restaurants, everything is amazing. There are certain restaurants that I go to but I get the same thing every time so I honestly can't verify whether or not the entire menu is fantastic. I can tell you for certain that the entire menu at SASA is amazing.

We sat in a quiet booth, most patrons were outside, so it was nice & quiet. The food was good and servers were friendly, not overbearing. Gather is a favorite.

First time dining here and it did not disappoint. We were in town to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and wanted a nice bar and grill for dinner but had no idea where to go. We had actually went somewhere else first but it was very crowded, a long wait and limited menu. We happened across this place online and I could make a reservation for 15 minutes later. We got there, everything was set up, the staff was great and it was a cool atmosphere. The servers were attentive, answered our menu questions and gave us great suggestions. It was a great choice; so happy the first place didn’t work out. Would definitely revisit Nano Brew again!

My hostess, Eris did a fantastic job! She was attentive and kind. Offered great wine recommendations, and she facilitated my experience at Cooper's Hawk exceptionally well. She was shadowed by Joe, who I was also very impressed by. I noticed how attentive he was to Eris as she navigated other tables. I hope their tips overflow in excess!
