5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I'll admit that i was a bit anxious when my friends wanted to take me to Temple Bar for dinner for my birthday due to the amount of negative reviews I'd seen on Citysearch. However, we had a fantastic time; we made a reservation and were seated at a cozy table near the bar; and our service and food was excellent. My friend loved her cheeseburger and my "Chicken Under a Brick" was fantastic. I'd highly recommend the side of Meyer Spinach...tasty. One mishap: our Ceasar salad did not come out; we reminded our server as we were eating our entrees and told him not to bring it, but he brought it anyway and comped us. Nice save. Good wine list by the glass. Overall, Temple Bar is a fun place with great decor, excellent food, and an awesome bar scene. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Pros: Ambience, service, swiftness of seating

Cons: Very crowded, cold if you sit near the door
