I've ultimately decided to go with 3 stars for the food.Best food: Crispy duck salad, signature wings, + steak.They claimed that what made the restaurant unique was that they "staggered" the food. However, out of the 7 dishes we ordered, we got 4 all at once. Then, 5 minutes later, we got 2 more dishes. Then, 25 minutes later, we got our final dish. We had almost forgotten about the last dish. All of the food was delicious, but the "staggered" aspect of the meal just seemed like a poor excuse for not knowing how to time the food.Additionally, they had SO many people working and they all were just hanging out in the back. Clear as day, we saw all of the wait staff just chit chatting away. I understand this likely happens in a lot of restaurants, but not out in the open for everyone to see.The real kicker that stumped us was the reservation/waitlist system. First, they do not allow for reservations. We were a party of 4 and arrived at 5:30. They told us it would be an hour to an hour and a half wait. We said no problem, put our name and number down, and headed to Good Lion. The hostess let us know that we would receive a confirmation text. About 5 minutes later, I realized I never received a confirmation text. I walked back over and asked her about it, and I had to re-put my name on the wait list.At 7:00pm, I went back over to check on the wait as we had come to the end of the "hour to an hour and a half" wait time. I understand that she was just making a prediction, but I just wanted an update. She said we should probably get another round of drinks.At 7:30pm, now two hours after we originally put our name in, we went back to see if there was an additional update. The hostess apologized and said that people were likely taking too much time because of the rain. At 7:52pm, we finally got a text saying our table was ready. YAY! However, when we entered, there were FIVE tables of four open. With all of the wait staff just kind of standing around too (as mentioned above), this was a poor first impression. All of us were just a bit stumped as to how we could have possible waited over two hours just for the entire restaurant to be empty. Regardless, we wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps all the tables just happened to finish at the same time. While I want to believe that, the lack of service inside the restaurant just makes it really hard to believe that they just didn't call us over earlier.With all of that said, we would definitely come back. The three food items mentioned above were stand outs, and I would absolutely order them again. Just be extremely wary of the service expectations. I would also recommend coming early and preparing yourself for an extra long wait.
