The portions were tiny, the fritata overcooked, no bread and nothing on the table to munch on. I don't understand the attraction. Way overpriced for what you get

The rrom was extremely warm, the waiter vaguely unpleasant, and the food, nothing to write home about. Will not go back here, when there are so many better places around.

if you weigh more than 120 lbs, you probably won't fit down the stairway down to the bathroom. I am a female with a waif build, and had trouble fitting down this stairway, or maneuvering through the restaurant for that matter. The service was subpar. Waitress recommended some bleh won't write home beers-and later when the bill came, we found out that they were the most expensive ones on the menu-somehting like $25 for a glass- lovely. The tarte flambe was good, but not great. The chorizo sandwich was just a mediocre tasting sandwich slapped on a plate with no side, no garnish, no nothing-very careless. The dandelion sald-ok at best. We also waited 30 minutes for appetizer to come out, and an additional 45 minutes for entrees at lunch! At whopping $100 for lunch for two, we will never return. This food is uninspired. and the restaurant is careless about the menu and service to patrons- the former might be excusable, but the latter is not.

I go to August about once a month. Every time Im there they are excited to tell me about the new and interesting things that their chef has created. Every dish I've tried has been a delicious meal- I'm a huge fan of the Tarte Flambe and the gnocchi, though the risotto (when on the menu) is out of control amazing. If you go for lunch the egg dishes are also great and very dependable. Wine is always perfectly paired, as their wine manager is happy to visit your table to help with selections- even if you're just ordering one glass. If you have the chance- get seated on the back patio. It's like a little greenhouse and an awesome spot during the day or at night.

Great restaurant! Loved the food and service was attentive. My boyfriend and I just enjoyed Friday night dinner at August in the height of Fall vegetable season. We arrived at 9:30 and were told it'd be a 30 min wait for two on the patio. The wait was just that, but the bartender was helpful in choosing a fantastic glass of wine to sip while we waited. I was wary since the other reviews complained about the portions being small (and I was hungry) so we ordered two starters to share - the wild mushroom pizza and tart green salad. The portions of both were totally satisfying - perfect for two people to share - and the quality was fantastic as this place boasts a seasonal menu. Our main dishes were short ribs and skate - again, these were hearty dishes. The skate was perfectly cooked and crisped with spaghetti squash and wild mushrooms to compliment. The short ribs needed a bit of salt but were very tender. We didn't have room for dessert but many people did and they looked really scrumptious. Let me stress - the food (especially the mushroom pizza) was phenomenal! Eat on the patio for ambiance - great date place! Heard they have a good brunch too.

We had the 5 course tasting menu at Restaurant August this weekend. Granted it was a Sunday, but the bread was stale, and all of the courses, save possibly the dessert, were average at best. The kobe "filet" was actually so unappealing in texture and taste that I passed it to my husband. The halibut was extremely overcooked and tough. In addition to these textures, the tastes were extremely underwhelming. We were very disappointed in the meal as it was a celebration dinner. On an up note, the service was great, the atmosphere lovely.

My wife had her birthday brunch at this place, which in the beginning gave a nice impression. The outside patio is very nice. We ordered our dishes, and they came out at a descent time. BUT, when we got the portions it was a joke. Seriously we all started laughing. I ordered the Wood Oven Baked Eggs. They where sooo small!!! If you go to their web site you can see a picture of it, and it is smaller then a brick! The bread you get with it was the size of a small cracker. It reminded us of airplane food! It wasnt even that tasty. I have been to gourmet restaurants that give larger portions, and believe me this wasn't gourmet.
