Loved the vibe here. 1st timers in the area. We sat outside bar, only intending to go for couple drinks that turned into 5 hrs. Drinks & live music. Bartender Deanna & Nick were so friendly fun & attentive. Such a cool set up for families. Loved the outdoor area.

Went for dinner last night, man at the front sat us right away outside. Waited for 15 minutes and never saw a server. Went back to the man at the front and told him no one has been to our table yet. Finally got someone to take our order. We placed our drinks, Appetizer and main meal order all at the same time. It was going on another 30 mins and didn’t still get our appetizer, as we were about to get up and leave, it showed up. We ate that however the sodas tasted awful. I asked to switch to another soda and server said they are on well water so all the sodas tasted and smell bad due to high sulfur. I asked if she had anything canned or bottle and they only had water. Gross!!!
An hour went by and server came to update food should be out in 15-20 mins. We thought about leaving then but decided to wait even more since we already waited an hour. At this time of waiting so long, it was now dark outside so we asked to be moved inside. We did move inside.
The 20 minutes went by, and I happened to catch a food runner guy walking outside with what looked like to by our food. The server didn’t tell them that we moved inside and he gave away one plate of food. He came back inside with the other plate and went to the kitchen. Server came back to table and said a couple more minutes. I told her and the host we were ready to leave. I saw what happened and I’m not waiting another minute more. I wanted to pay for my Appetizer and leave. At this time, a manager came up and apologized and said it was a holiday weekend and they were slammed and 4 people quit today alone. I said I understand. It’s not the servers fault. However, we’ve been eating all weekend long at other restaurants with no problems or wait times. And I explained to him, my main issue is the man at the very beginning who sat us, should have been honest and said hey our kitchen is backed up, you’re looking at about 1.5 hour wait. And we could have chosen then to stay or leave. But he didn’t. And the manager told us the man at the front was the owner!!!! Wow. It seemed the owner was more interested in making a dollar instead of having Satisfied customers. Will never be back here. Horrible ownership and disgusting well water drinks.

Bart and crew have done it again.
My wife and I had the breakfast pizza for Sunday brunch. Over the top outstanding. The Bloody Mary and Mimosa bar is an added bonus.

Went in on Sunday afternoon for dinner with my girlfriend and her mama. Had the most wonderful waitress (Fallon) she was funny and quirky and just an absolute breathe of fresh air! The food was so good and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect! Drinks were on point!!
