Always excellent food and service! We had the salmon, the braised short ribs and the duck breasts with risotto! All excellent. Great atmosphere and an extensive collection of bourbons and craft beers. I enjoyed a delicious Old Fashioned! Owner and staff are always incredibly welcoming and friendly!!
A great option after work! Our server was really helpful (even made me a delicious mocktail after I inquired about non-alcoholic options) and attentive. Food was great and served quickly. Ambiance just right. A no brainer choice!
As usual we had great service and our server was careful with my serious food allergies. Food was delicious and drinks are great here! Noise level was high tonight and restaurant was crowded. Our orders came quickly and hot! This is our favorite neighborhood spot!
As always, wonderful service and delicious food. We are regulars there. My grandkids love it too.
We went there to celebrate a post Xmas meeting with our son and daughter in law and her parents since they came in from out of town after Xmas. This was a Monday night so it was very quiet but the service and food was amazing! The best part was our Server was so in tune to the menu she offered several of her favorites and they all did not disappoint since we all ordered something of what she mentioned. The favorite was the Shishito peppers for the App and Espresso rubbed Pork Chop! We will go back again for sure!!
Needed a middle spot from friends coming in from all parts of the state. Chose District 118 based off reviews and proximity to the highway. The food was just OK - with 2/6 saying it was "good" and everyone else saying it was "ok". Our group is a bunch of foodies and realistically this has a higher end bar menu. I got the pork chops which were good with a great reduction and potatoes. Hearty for sure. Our drinks? Magnificent. With everyone ordering something different, we all had a great one. The atmosphere was quiet based off the time we went however was fun nonetheless. I would love something like this in my neighborhood bar scene as I can tell when it is busy, It would be a lot of fun! I would have given it 4.5 stars but that's not an option.
Kitchen forgot an entree. Had to constantly flag down waitresses when we wanted anything. Staff too busy chatting at the bar. No plans to return. Just being honest.
We were lucky that the restaurant wasn't very crowded so the noise level was moderate enabling us to hold a conversation, for the most part. My food was quite good though I recommend to the manager that it would be better served on a plate than a bowl so that the duck pieces could be cut more easily. Two very positive things about our meal. Our server promptly provided my diabetic friend with orange juice to deal with his low sugar level. Also, they actually read my note requesting a quiet table and tried to accommodate us as best as possible.
Went for a ladies catch up brunch The waitress was so accommodating- didn't rush us and checked in just enough Food was great too
The Brussels sprouts were terrible. The tuna app seemed frozen. The martini and mixed drinks were excellent. The bird sandwich and veggie burgers and fries were also excellent. I would give it another try.

Had a business meal with colleagues. Food was great, service great, noise at a level that allowed productive conversations.
We took my sister in-law there for a birthday brunch on Sunday. The seating and service were great. The food was generally good. I would go again but would order something else to eat.
On the plus side: food was great, everyone was friendly, it's a comfortable space, and parking was plentiful. Maybe they can just work on training staff a bit. Might try again, but hoping we would get a more experienced server.
Lamb gnocchi, beef shank, and the duck risotto were all big hits at our table. Great cocktail selection and attentive service all helped to make this a place we'll come back to.
The food and service was excellent, however the noise level was high so take that into consideration depending upon the hearing issued of your party
