Ordering food using QR code was tedious and could only order food. Drinks had to be ordered at the bar which had a line.

We had the sliders for lunch & was good. Nice outdoor seating areas. The only thing we didn't like was having to order by QR code. Finally the waitress got us a menu and took our order.

We booked our reservation on line and were seated at a high top table. When I sat on the chair, my chin was at the height of the table top- not ideal for eating (I'm 5'5” for perspective). I asked the hostess if we could switch tables because of that. She acted personally offended and told us we were welcome to move if we could find a table in our own that didn't have a reserved sign on it. We stayed put and I ate standing up. The food was mediocre at best. We ordered off the QR code so could not ask the waitstaff for recommendations as there was no waitstaff. When we got the bill, there was a 4% automatic ‘health charge' and the tip options were listed, with a 22% tip recommended. We had no service! Someone brought us a water bottle and 2 glasses as we were finishing our meals. We had already gone to the bar to get waters by that point. It was very disappointing.

We made reservations a couple weeks in advance but we're sat at a table directly in the sun, under a clear awning, and it felt like we were being baked. It was unpleasant and I would not return. My daughter said the smash burger was tasteless and if I had 2 ounces of shredded pork on my pulled pork sandwich, I'd be surprised. The sandwich tasted good but so tiny. My Paloma cocktail was very good.

We celebrated a joint birthday here and had a great time. The space is large and beautiful with different vibes throughout. Great place for adults, kids, and dogs.

Wow. Really really bad. Shockingly bad. Bad service. Bad food - like not even trying to serve edible food bad. The space, however, is great. The potential is amazing. What an awesome beer garden it could be if they had any organization at all and anyone even attempting to present decent food. There is no one to check you in. The idea of having reservations seems to be lost on them. The menu is limited apparently on days other than Friday and Saturday - not that this is mentioned anywhere on OpenTable.

Service was great. Patrons are friendly. Kid friendly without being obnoxious. Great spot.

It was our first and last visit. Host was pleasant. Most servers were nice in general. One or two were not hospitable but I felt they somehow tried—thank you! You have to order using your phone (QR code), so heads up to whom it may concern. Bad tasting food—we ordered wings, smash burgers, tri tip plates, and more. We cross the street to Oxbow Public Market for good dessert to at least make up to ourselves (ages ranging from teens to senior citizens). Hope it improves since a lot of people come here. Otherwise, others might feel like it's a trap.

Ricky

very nice, family friendly, good food, good drinks, service ok, tech to order could be a little confusing (eg. group orders)

Renee

This is as my 2nd visit here. First visit was drinks and sitting around the fire pit which was nice. Enjoyed the ambience, kid friendly, outdoor venue. Simple ordering with barcode scan, made it convenient for large parties of you want to order separately. Beverages were good. Heat lamps near every table, really worked as it was a cold night. Play are for the kids and live music for the adults. Very good experience, food served quickly and delicious.

Simone

Great spot for a soccer team gathering; they were very accommodating with our group of over 24 people. Nice and cozy on a wet night under the covered area by the heaters; food was quick and easy to order; fun drinks. Great activities for the kids too.

Andrea

Some of the staff were very unpleasant. One of them practically threw an iced tea at me after I asked to replace a gross tasting Arnold Palmer. That was after she was extremely rude to my elderly father. Had a feeling there was racism involved. Aside from that, the food was not great, there were A TON of flies all over us, and it was way too loud. If you're not a white bro, skip this place.

Beautiful space, relaxed, awesome drinks, pub fare. Got the Korean chicken sandwich and it was cooked well and tasty! Very crispy. Piquinto (?) beans were decent as well, comes with chips otherwise (fries substitution possible as well).

Fun place to come with a group of friends. Ordering individually on the app works v well when you're a big group and service was very fast.

David Hoffman

Not haute cuisine but good food and great beer! Nice selection of beers outside on the river.
