Devon our server was very attentive. They have a great band in Wednesday night called Trio Art of Sax that plays Motown funk and people dance. The food was great and the atmosphere was like none other.

JC Layton knows what hes doing ! Phenomenal Human being first and foremost, but also an amazing manager! This guy is super professional, and goes out of his way to do anything he can to make his customers happy . This restaurant is classy and has great service and that is due to the leadership values and professionalism JC instilled in the staff . I highly recommend this place !

Grabbed a drink at the bar and the bartenders were the kindest people. Would highly recommend for anyone that wants a great pour.

I’ve been going back and forth about whether I should review this bar and decided after giving them our hard earned money the manager should know how horrible our visit was.
I came with 2 friends this past wednesday for dinner and drinks. Firstly upon entry, it was not clear whether we were supposed to seat ourselves or wait for a hostess. We wondered around and decided to sit at a dirty table. A few minutes later a man who apparently was wait staff came over and told us the table was reserved but we could sit on the table next to us. What was off putting was that he was not in any sort of uniform name tag or anything else that would identify him as someone who works there. I find that very tacky. We were then given menus and had our order taken. We inquired about vegetarian options which the waitress was helpful with however the options for vegetarians are really bad. It seems there was on old menu on google maps which might have suggested vegetarian options previously. Okay no problem, we can have appetizers for dinner we were just looking forward to a pint of Guinness. The waitress informs us that the bar is out of Guinness. Excuse me? At an Irish bar? That was extremely disappointing but we were open to try another stout beer. Turns out they do not even carry a beer similar to Guinness and we were stuck ordering lighter beers. By now our experience was pretty downhill but we didn’t realize it would only get worse. It was a music night and they had a jazz band sort of preformer playing and wow, the music was way too loud. My party was yelling at each other and could barely hear each other making socializing extremely difficult. By this time we were flat up miserable and couldn’t even talk to each other without yelling. I received my nachos which I ordered and to my surprise it was not what was advertised on the menu, which said it should come with pinto beans. What I received was nachos with queso cheese guacamole and cherry tomatoes. I’m sorry but who puts cherry tomatoes on nachos? Odd. The real cherry on top was getting our bill. Fries aren’t included with a chicken sandwich so we were surprised to see that upcharge as well as a 3% ā€œservice feeā€ surcharge. All in all, it was our first time here and everyone in my party had a bad experience and as someone who is exploring new places to eat around here I can say I will never recommend this place.

Been here multiple times, love this place, lots of stuff in the area, parking structures near by, lots of seating inside and out, great food, lots of drinks, friendly helpful staff. There’s also a cigar bar; when asked about it the waiter forgot to get the information to us, but otherwise would recommend this place and return.

Came in on a Sunday early evening and stumbled on Karaoke night.

Food was a mix. The meatloaf didn't have much filler, so it was almost more like a meatwad. Fried fish was a hair overcooked but the batter was deliciously crispy. Coleslaw basically wasn't dressed, and could have been sliced a little finer. Everything was good quality (less filler?) which has its pros and cons.
The gravy was delicious. And everything potato was top-tier. Would come back just for the smashed potatoes and the potato wedges that came with the fish and chips.
Portions are generous.

Our server was perfect. He was ALWAYS around so you could get whatever you needed, and when you asked he was quick and polite, all without being...extra. And he was just really nice.

The karaoke is loud for 5 in the evening, but not obnoxiously. It was good energy, really.

Spouse and I went for a friend's birthday. The smell from the cigar room was unpleasant, and inescapable. The taplist was solid (yay Brewery X!), decent wine by the glass. Decent live band on Wednesday nights.

Beautiful comfy bar, great place to grab a drink or a bite. Attentive staff, kinda busy sometimes. Design and decor offer attention to detail. Feels like a great neighborhood bar. There is also something especially unique to this establishment that I won't give away, but it's truly exceptional. IYKYK
