Pleasantly surprised. Super hungry so stopped in thinking basic pub food. Nope. Gourmet. Coffee rub burger with brie and bacon jam along with a filet wrap? Omg! Really good fries too. Can’t wait to go back. Slow time of day so bartender was are server. Lovely. Very knowledgeable of the menu and made fantastic suggestions.
