Stopped in after an errand on an early weekday evening. Forgotten how much I enjoy being there. Above all, a wonderful, welcoming staff. Sat in the bar area at a table, the gentleman bartender is just so outgoing & friendly, wait staff is great too. A nice happy hour menu, but ordered off the regular menu with a glass of great wine.
Only callout to management. You have a great vibe with awesome staff. Upgrade your menu for customers who want more for dinner, than what everyone else on Main St serves: burgers, tacos, fried options. Your food quality & presentation is great, just don’t be content with “bar food”. You are sandwiched between multiple bars, sushi & Mexican food and nowhere on the street is there a nice, casual mid priced venue. You can do better on the menu & also add some more premium wines by the glass. The neighborhood will appreciate it.
Food was fine for what it was.
Our waiter was terrible and rude,
the host was lovely tho.

This place used to be great but changed when they replaced managers. Can't recommend anymore.

I’ve been here twice and both times the service was rude. Just left there now after being seated at the bar where it was very quiet and several servers and bartenders are standing around. After 10 minutes of expectedly waiting and waving down staff, nobody came over to take an order. I left.

I stopped in and got a chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. They were both cooked perfectly and tasted amazing

This spot offers something for every taste, from a well thought out food menu to an impressive beer lineup. Everything felt carefully curated and enjoyable. It is the kind of place that makes you want to relax, stay a little longer, and plan your next visit before you even leave.

Service is seriously awful, waited probably 15 for someone to tell me I had to go up to the bar to order, then waited 10 minutes at the bar and decided to leave as no one was interested in taking my order. I also had to bus my own table before I sat down. Super bad experience for me, might have just been a bad time for them, but they could have at least recognized us

This is one of my favorite old haunts dating back to when I lived in Venice in the mid-late 90’s. Always loved the turkey burger and salad and wide selection of tap beers. The architectural design was cool back in the day too but they took away the cool entry canopy,
Painted the front millwork and did some other tweaks which change it a little for me. The ceiling could also use a freshen up! 🤔🤪 NTL, Chris the bartended was nice and served us up some tasty beers, tacos and mezcal! Nice walk down memory lane!
