Great food, Great service, but this place is like an icebox. It's always freezing cold like they're trying to save on heating costs.

Pretty awful experience (food and service) - We had to ask for waters three times before getting them. Steak was well done even though we ordered medium. After sending the steak back, we had to wait 20-30 minutes for a new one because the wait staff had miscommunicated with the kitchen. Kitchen thought we didn’t want the dish anymore, but we just simply wanted the right temp on the steak. On top of it all, unauthorized additional tip was added in addition to the 4% service fee they include into the subtotal.edit: After I reached out via email, the general manager refunded the tip and steak but did not refund the tax or the service charge on the steak. Thus, changed my rating from one star to two stars for this.

A large group of us came here for a birthday, and after sitting and waiting for over 20 minutes, they refused to serve us and we had to leave. It honestly felt very racist and discriminatory in nature. Refusing service to customers who were nothing but polite to the wait staff is crazy. Don’t recommend AT ALL. 21+ with proof too.

Like coming here once a month to see whats new on the menu. This week was a crazy prime beef donut. That correct a jelly donut but instead of jelly it has meat!! I don't know if it was deep fried or baked but it was delicious. The dough trapped the moisture and flavors as it was prepared creating a mouthful of delicious!! The side salad helped balance the carb load. Arugula with a sweet olive oil dressing!!

Unapologetically Sexi

Burger not what I anticipated being as though it was grilled. Too much sauce etc.

Wow, it has been a long time since I have had such a bad experience at a bar. Had 3 different bartenders walk straight past me while I was waiting to be served and I eventually had to flag one down after waiting over 15 minutes with them all chatting by the POS system. This is while the bar was not even busy and everyone sitting at the bar besides me had already been served. Ordered a canned cider and a margarita. The margarita was by far the worse one I've ever tasted in my life. Went back and asked for a different drink. They gave it to me with the straw paper floating in the drink. Go anywhere else.

There is a young waitress who always serves us when we’re here on Fridays, she always offers awesome service and is very kind. She helped me find a lost item of jewelry today and returned it very kindly. Deals are good but service is also important! Will keep coming back every week if she’s is available to serve us.

Lovely space and great bartenders … butThe drinks were awful. If you want to get food or have a social time it’s great but the drinks are not worth it.I had to spend $30 on a cocktail and two small tequila shots to just have a normal drinkDrinks are so watered down and over pricedAnd they don’t let you add tip, it’s already added in??Wouldn’t go again.

Walked past this bar several times and looked at their menu on Yelp. Ambiance is local bar but the food is way more adventurous. I had the pork shank which was wonderful!!! The humongous portion came in a sizzling cast iron skillet. The meat had a crisp seared shell with tender moist pork underneath. It was accompanied by a skinless crisp baked potato with a large side of sour cream. This could have easily fed two grown men The menu was extensive with Transylvanian goulash to hamburgers. My friend had the goulash also served in a cast iron skillet. Meat portion was large. The carb accompanying it was like gritty potatoes with a mild horseradish flavor. Interesting!! We will be back again. Prices were reasonable. Portions were large

Overrated. This place continuously overcharges if you don’t keep an eye on your bill.Edit: Ya’ll so weird for that response ?Not only do you guys clearly need to re-train your bartenders but you also need some PR training.

We had such a great time here! Huge shoutout to Joseph and Brenda for taking excellent care of us. Such sweet servers, timely service. I recommend the pierogie and the Korean wings. I took off a start for the owner yelling at his staff, in front of us, and calling one of them a "f****** r******." I won't be back for that reason.
