Ordered a monitor and it was made wrong. Ordered a rueben and was made with roast beef. Waitresses were too busy socializing to care about patrons and their orders!

A very laidback and ‘refined’ vibe. Loved the atmosphere and the service was great! The mozzarella sticks were to die for? Wanted to try the fish and chips, but they were out.. so we’ll have to go again!

The food is nasty it tastes like they’re experimenting with everything.The drinks are good and so is the spinach dip. The customer service was pretty good.They need to work on their seasonings and learning how to cook.2/10

Awful Experience and gross food. I ordered a beer and was served a can, which is fine, and asked for a glass to pour it in. The first glass i was handed had a spot of mold on it and the second was given to me and seemed clean at first glance but when i poured my beer in it, a bunch of stuff was floating in the glass. The food was no better. I ordered the pork chop, which came with brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. The pork chop was overcooked and dry. The mashed potatoes had a weird chemical taste to them and the brussel sprouts were somehow overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside. The entire experience was terrible and the inattentive bartenders were the moldy cherry at the bottom of the spoilt sunday. Plus they charged $0.25 for ketchup. Needless to say i will not be back and i hope they get shut down by the health department

Very intimate place with about 5-6 tables excluding the bar seating! Fully stocked bar with tvs and music! I’ve gone twice before making this review, and I have enjoyed the food! I prefer their appetizers! I think I’ve tried most of them from the corn dip, corn dogs, to their spinach dip! All were very tasty! The second visit I had the rice bowl which consisted of rice, very few vegetables and shrimp! It was good and would’ve preferred more vegetables… it was most rice! We also had the pork chop with Brussels. They were out of (mashed)potatoes so they served with rice. It was tasty. The pork chop was thick cut and we asked for Heinz 57 or something similar and they didn’t have it! The wings and pork chop could use more seasoning! Overall it’s a unique place to visit and I would return! Drinks were good as well!

Ordered a drink. Full of ICE not much else. Terrible bartender.do not recommend. Or if you go tell them light ice.

Cozy neighborhood bar with some high top and bar seating. Surrounded with restaurants and bar hopping opportunities, this casual spot has TVs for sports watching and a full bar. They have bar bites as well but it’s not the best option for real food. The menu is quite limited. The drinks are fair and prices range based on top shelf or below. The staff is friendly.

Service at the bar was terrible… we had to ask her for everything. We were the only people in the bar and she was on her phone… never asked if we needed water after our cocktails were finished or if we needed a refill… saw kitchen staff drop food on pass through window pick it up with no gloves on, and put it back on the plate and served it to the outside guests. Get off your phone!!! Wait on your guests. I know tipping is based on service and the overall experience…please act like you want us to be at your establishment…My husband enjoyed his meal, but I had the rice bowl and it was not very good. I don’t like undercooked rice. This was our first visit and our last…

Our food and drinks were really good. Our server was very nice and did a great job. It's nice and intimate inside with only a few tables and a nice bar. We really enjoyed it!

Staff was wonderful. Their new cooks can throw down in the kitchen. The bathroom was clean and modern. Not a cheaply decorated place.

The food is usually great here. However, the brussel sprouts were burned. I could not eat them.
