Great appetizers and salads, Definitely one of the few reasons we would come back. Table service was a bit slow for how busy the restaurant was tonight. I ordered the orecchiette Pasta and would definitely pass on it next time. The shrimp tasted (and smelled) rather fishy and the chicken was dried and chewy. The pasta was good but sitting in oil. It was a good thing my date ordered the grilled chicken tortilla salad because thats what saved the night. A huge portion with amazing salsa vinaigrette dressing. All in all, good place for drinks and apps, maybe stay for a salad too.
Took my husband on Monday 27th for his birthday food was horribe very bland no seasoning at all. What a waste of $83 And change. Want go again!
Probably my go-to lunch spot in the area. Great atmosphere. Burgers are top notch. Don't think you can get a better burger than those here. They have a different special burger each week! The weekly special menus usually have a nice variety though, with interesting sandwiches and wraps and salads, if you don't feel like having a burger.
The drink selection is also great. The staff in the bar area are great. Quick service at the bar area during lunch time as well (there are tables there as well, if you don't want to sit at the bar).
The environment is nice, cozy, and feels unique. However, don't waste your $$ or your palate on this place. There are too many other good places to eat.
Nice atmosphere. Food was ok, decent Reuben and good mac and cheese but $16 for mac and cheese with not even a salad or bread, a little crazy. Also a magical pea would up in the mac and cheese. Service lacks for a place with these prices and food could be better. probably won't return.
If THIS is the "standard", then I weep for humanity.
If you get there early enough when the bread is still warm, they have really good bread as well. I don't know if it's homemade or what, but it's really good bread.
Seems they can do $13- burgers okay (per my dining partner, but how hard is that), however, I ordered the pesto shrimp sun-dried tomato lunch special... And I had to resist the urge to dump salt on the meal due to lack of flavor. It had only a hint of pesto and was drowning in oil. No flavor.
