My husband and I visited this restaurant on 3/12/2024. We live in Illinois, but my husband is from the area. We visited for a week and decided to meet with 3 friends for dinner; one of our friends frequents this restaurant so he suggested it.4 of us arrived at 6pm and were seated right away. After 10 minutes, our waitress, Kayla, introduced herself and took our drink order. After another 10 minutes passed, Kayla checked on us to see if we wanted to order food, but we were waiting for our last friend to arrive before ordering food. We got our drinks 15 minutes after ordering, which seemed like a long wait considering 2 of the drinks were draft beer and the restaurant/bar wasn’t busy.The time approached 6:45pm when our last friend arrived at the restaurant. Kayla hadn’t checked on us since we declined to order food at 6:20pm. We waved her down to get her attention so we could order food and more drinks. Since it was Taco Tuesday, 3 of us ordered street tacos and 2 of us ordered the $5 house margarita from the Taco Tuesday menu.Another 20 minutes passed before our food came out to the table. Kayla saw we still had not received our drinks; she checked on them and brought our drinks over within a minute of delivering our food. The $5 house margaritas tasted like there wasn’t any tequila in them but instead pure margarita mix. I wouldn’t recommend ordering these. My husband ate his tacos within 5 minutes which was when Kayla checked on us; he ordered 2 more tacos. 10 minutes later, a worker brought out his tacos in a to-go container inside a plastic bag and placed it in front of my husband. We all found this incredibly rude considering we were still eating, and he hadn’t specified that the two tacos were to-go.The five of us finished eating and drinking within 15 minutes. We waited for Kayla to check on us with the potential of ordering a third round of drinks; we watched her go around and check on her other tables without acknowledging us. After a while, we waved her down so we could get our bills, pay, and leave. We asked for her to split the tab between 3 separate bills. At this point, we were unimpressed with Kayla’s lack of service the entire evening.Kayla brought back our bills, and I reviewed my and my husband’s bill for accuracy. Everything was correct, except there was a 20% service charge, which our friends also had. I figured it was probably a gratuity for having a “large” party but there were only 5 of us. I looked at the top of our bills, and I saw “Guests: 6”. 3 of us have worked in a restaurant and knew that typically if you input the number of guests and it’s at the threshold for “large party” gratuity, then the bill will automatically add the gratuity/service charge. We looked it up on the restaurant’s website and found that gratuity is added for parties of 6 or more people. This seemed suspicious, so we wanted to ask Kayla about it for clarity.My husband tried to get Kayla’s attention. She walked towards the host stand 5 feet away, and my husband said her name while he waved to her, but she didn’t look up or acknowledge him. I got up from our table and approached her at the host stand. I said to Kayla, “Hey, what is this service charge for on our bills?” Kayla quickly said, “We can take it off!”, in a panicked manner like we had caught her doing something wrong. Another waitress interjected and said, “Gratuity is added for parties of 5 or more.” I responded, “Your website states that it’s for parties of 6 or more, and on our bill, you input 6 guests in our party.” Kayla urgently repeated they could remove the service charge. I gathered the 3 bills and gave them to Kayla to correct, which meant removing the gratuity charge that her and/or the other waitress had tried to sneakily charge us.While Kayla fixed the bills, the other waitress walked by and told me that Kayla would have the bills right out and that "I'll make sure to update the website" in a condescending tone.The way we were treated, ignored, and almost scammed into paying a service charge ensures we won't dine here again.

Stopped here for dinner. Ordered southwest chicken salad- my husband liked it. I ordered the black bean burger. I'm satisfied . Staff are friendly and checking in at Yelp gave us a 10% discount on our order .

Well maintained restaurant. I ordered the brick chicken. It was overcooked and I had a difficult time cutting into it with a knife. The calamari was hard, chewy and drenched in sauce in an attempt to cover the taste and texture. The service was mediocre at best. A socially awkward, slightly rude, straight faced man took our order. I gave it 2 stars because someone at our table liked their fish and chips. I will not be returning.

We have been here at least a dozen times over the last few weeks due to our house being renovated while staying at a local hotel.Everything from the breakfast to dinner and their beer selection has been amazing. Our favorites are the Chicken Caprese, Reuben and the Miso Salmon. Their fries and desserts are great too!

Great modern pub in La Mirada. I’ve been coming here since they opened and have never been disappointed. Good gastropub quality, crafty food menu items. They started out with a bit of an extensive whiskey menu but have since downsize a bit over the years. No complaints from me, they still have a few great options you just can’t find on local shelves. I’ve always appreciated this spot and today was no exception. Thanks bartender Michael for the great service. He also nailed my old fashioned. Jefferson small batch- great bourbon.
