Our server was new but returned with answers to all of our questions. She offered great suggestions and did an overall great job. The skillet cornbread was delicious. My mom loved her fish tacos. The fish and chips was ok. Fish had a heavy batter. Old bay potato wedges were a little spicy for my liking. We were in a smaller space of about 6 tables but the sound from a round 5/6 top behind us boomed into our table area. Overall great experience, ambiance, staff and beverages (we love a good Malbec and Maine Lunch). Will definitely be back!

Very well run, sat straight away around the back. Next to the door with no vestibule so not the greatest but it worked. Food was good. Pretzel was not the greatest, little heavy and small for $12. Chicken sandwich was great, my wife was thinking about it all evening at the BSO. My BLT was very nice but might not get again. Tater tots could have used a touch longer in the fryer. The mocktail my wife had to was great, the Beer choice I had was good and they had a good selection. Service was good. Attentive and effective. Overall not perfect but very good. 4.5 stars maybe.

Fast efficient service. Food was good, tater tots could have been cooked longer. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Good place to grab a quick meal.

Very busy on Marathon day but we were able to snag a table outside. Very helpful and prompt service. They were out of a few beers but had recommendations that were good. Power salad was excellent but spicy so avoid if you're averse.

Keep in mind it's a neighborhood bar... but, for a neighborhood bar, it's really enjoyable. Food is tasty. The drinks (cordial license only) are a creative treat. Enjoyed it as much the second time as the first.

The menu had a great selection of comfort food classics with a creative twist, and everything we tried was delicious. I started with the buffalo cauliflower appetizer, which was crispy and flavorful, with just the right amount of heat. For my main course, I had the braised short rib, and it was absolutely amazing - the meat was tender and flavorful, and the mashed potatoes served alongside were creamy and delicious.

Beer list is excellent. Chicken tenders are made in-house and are some of the best in the city.

The place has been going downhill. Food is getting worse, steak is gone, cheesecake is gone. Literally the two things I’d go there for. Not what it used to be, unfortunately.
