Came here to meet a friend for brunch. The place was empty, so we did not have to wait on seating and could sit anywhere. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant for the holidays. It felt cozy and welcoming. The mimosa deal was great and I would go back just for that. For the price, the food was good. The ingredients were fresh. I appreciated our server being observant to our needs and creating conversation.

I thoroughly enjoyed my brunch here on a Sunday. The interior design of Round II focuses on the bar and chair-seats. They are so supple and relaxing. The wall shelving of whiskey and bourbons are a nice treat for the eyes to see.Food during my visit consisted of a solid fried chicken sandwich ($11). Its a hefty breast portion that's buttermilk breaded, brined, topped with chunky cole slaw and a mild aioli dressing and brioche. The side was an additional cole slaw which had pretty fresh purple cabbage. Rounded the entree with a dark coffee.Service was expedient and amicable. As the patronage was solid, I will gladly come again.

Never had a bad visit here. Sure they’ve seen staffing issues like any other restaurant, but they overcome it with great food, friendly staff and a huge drink menu. They have a great selection of bourbon. Great patio. Highly recommended.

Went for happy hour. Our server was so amazing! We sat in one of the round booth tables, and it was cozy. The atmosphere is good. There is an outdoor patio, too. Food, drinks all great.

Nice spot for dinner. Stopped in for their happy hour which runs until 8 pm on Friday with is nice. Very relaxed vibes, and our server was super friendly and attentive. The gc burger was good (very filling, can easily split a side which is not included with the burger), but I thought the flatbread was pretty low quality. Looked like it was something that came frozen and was thawed.

My order took way too long, asked for no onions and of course got them. Asked for a drink twice and got one of the two eventually. Had to ask someone else for my check. One bartender to make craft cocktails for the whole bar was ridiculous. Never will I go here again.

Was 86, 87 today and when we went after work, was too toasty for me. Luckily the kind server saw me and asked if I'd like fans turned up! (That's why I deducted a star off atmosphere.)On the plus side, our server was wonderful! Very kind and proactive!Also, kudos to the chef(s) too cuz everything came out very delicious and obviously freshly made. (Had the GC burger, pretzels, salad, and fries between the 2 of us.)P.s. Tried this for 1st time tonight because of the #BurgerAndBeerWeek #Eat614.

Food is so bad here. Everything tasted freezer burnt and not fresh. My "medium" burger was a microwaved puck and my friends chicken sandwich was soggy. I hope this place closes down so literally anything else can pop up in its place.

First off, the main bartenders at Round 2 are the most committed I have seen pretty much anywhere. Kate is there anytime I come in- even holidays. I am honestly shocked she doesn’t own the place at this point! Matt is also always super consistent behind the bar. Unlike many bartenders, he is friendly and very welcoming. It is nice walking into a place and seeing someone smiling behind the bar!As far as food… we really miss the old school round 2 food- especially the backyard fries!!! I am not really sure why there is a vegan focus here. People love meat with their bourbon.Atmosphere is pretty awesome. The seating is cozy and makes you feel like you are in an elevated friend’s basement.Overall, we love round 2, but it is the people who work there that make us come back- not necessarily the food.

Cool ambiance but unfortunately the food fell short. Started with hot pretzel and it was mediocre with LOADS of salt on it. We brushed it off but still, just okay. I had their main cauliflower veggie rice bowl, it sounded delicious. I decided last minute to add salmon to it and I'm glad I did. It was the only thing good of the bowl. If you have a cauliflower rice bowl as the main hoorah, it should be pretty amazing with a topper of protein. All of the veggies, besides the mushrooms, were undercooked. No one likes to bite into a hard brussel sprout. We didn't get much reply when I was honest about it, mainly a "oh..." But do hope they take into consideration if you offer a veggie bowl like that, it should be pretty darn good Atmosphere is cool!

Actually have never had the chance to eat here, but we've come a few times for cocktails and their drinks never miss the spot! Also love the atmosphere outside.

I literally noted them not to add onions on my burger because I am allergic to onions amd the burger came in with onions now I have allergy reaction. Y they do this? Never again ordering food with this trash fast food restaurant

Service was bad. Took awhile for the server to come. We had a couple minutes left before happy hour ended and the waitress said she would get our drinks in before, so we could make the deal. Drinks took forever to come. She didn't bring water or enough plates for our apps or even silverware. And at the end of the night, when she brought the bill, she said not all the drinks made it for Happy Hour (Even though the bill was time stamped at 7:59 pm) and she didn't offer to fix it or have a manager/someone capable adjust it. Frustrating.
