A perfect date night spot. Reasonably priced drinks, food and merchandise at the restaurant. I love the ambience and exterior a lot. There is also a few parking spots attached to the place which was super convenient considering the location! We ordered salad, burger and the pasta. I really wanted to try the lamb shank but it was sold out at the time, a little surprised since it was before 6P on a Saturday. My husband loves the burger and the fries was very very good! Amazing value for the pricing point. My pasta was also tasty but a little salty to my liking. The restaurant is super cozy. I do wish there is more spacing between tables since we can literally hear the whole conversation from the table next to us. Maybe I will ask for the booth next time. Overall we enjoyed it and will consider visiting again for a date.

We really enjoyed our visit to Service Bar. The restaurant is connected to a shared parking lot so parking is very convenient. The restaurant itself is small but the ambiance is lovely. They have a full service bar and excellent bourbon based cocktails. I'm not a huge bourbon fan, but I really enjoyed the cocktail (can't recall the name now). From the moment we walked into the restaurant, the service was fabulous. Our server was super friendly and informative. For appetizers, my wife and I shared their Caesar salad and the wings confit. The wings came with this sauce that had quite a nice kick to it--delicious. For the main course, we shared their lamb shank. It was delicious -- fall off the bone tender, and served on a bed of delicious mashed potatoes. I think the restaurant changes its menu seasonally, but I would definitely come here again to try some of their other offerings and their drinks!

John, our Server, was great in his recommendations and friendly without being overbearing. I enjoyed the pace of his returning to the table as well. It was a night for me and my bride and he added just the right amount of support. The food was GREAT too!! I'll be back for the lamb that looked fabulous at my neighbors table but was all gone when I ordered. ?

It was a perfect experience. I took my husband for his birthday and we were so impressed by everything. The food, the drinks, the ambiance.. we loved all of it. Wait!! I almost forgot to mention how amazing the staff was, they were so kind and friendly and helpful.

This was a gem I randomly came across and we went on a whim and absolutely loved it!The wings were hands down some of the best wings I’ve had in the entire city. Top notch! I’ll be returning just for this.The porkchop was to delicious but the carbonara fell flat for us a little bit. The noodles were more of a matted ball than anything so we were cutting into it like it was a piece of meat, but the flavor was tasty! Just a texture thing.The cocktails were all fabulous. We’ll likely come back for snacks and drinks for sure.Keep it up, service bar! We loved you!

This was one of the worst “dining” experiences ever. Weird smell. Restaurant too chilly. Very loud music - screaming hard rock, not at all nice or relaxing for dinner. Poor ambiance in general - metal cold tables, hard chairs, no candles or flowers. Aside from the Caesar salad that was good, rest of food was awful...the worst was the carbonara which was totally over engineered, too salty, with a sauce that seemed to simply be runny egg yolks. It came with scallops which were still raw in the middle. I eat out a lot and rarely do reviews - steer clear of this place.

Hafta say...really disappointed. First off the smell of the entire restaurant was so overpowering it was terrible. I know they distill there but we were not prepared for how the smell just takes over. I think that was the first major turnoff for us to just have a drink then leave. We didn't find anything on the menu that excited us at the moment, even though we did check things out beforehand. The drinks were amazing, but took longer than expected to arrive even though the place was not busy at all. This place was amazing pre-COVID, just average after, and now I would say it's cute...but pass.

We started by doing the distillery tour and finished with a dinner reservation after. The tour was top notch. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and feel. The food and service were ok.

Our waiter and additional wait staff were the stars of the show; friendly, attentive and professional. We had a great evening. The kitchen seems to have improved since we were there last year. We ordered at the higher end of the menu, and while the food was definitely tasty, we were a little disappointed that the dishes were not more inspired or the portions larger to justify the cost. Next time we will order sandwiches and more basic bar food and enjoy the ambience and drinks.
Food was excellent. Server did everything to make the evening right. My wife ordered a vegetable entree. It was very good, but there should be some other things on the plate. It would be better both aesthetically and just a bit more food. We did enjoy our evening, which was done very well considering it was Valentines Day.

Blown away by the food, drinks and service. Some of the best we have had since long before Covid! Quite possibly the best burger I have ever had. I think the only thing that was a bit disappointing was how dark it was at our table, eating with your eyes is half of the adventure. Will be back for sure!
The restaurant had an awful stench, that made eating quite difficult. We had the wings, burger, pork chops, chicken sandwich and apple fritters. The wings were ok. The chicken sandwich was not well trimmed, and there were many large pieces of fat on it, which you don't see beforehand. The cheeseburger had an aioli sauce on it, that was a lemon flavor, which did not go well on a cheeseburger. The pork chops were very fatty and was covered with an overwhelming amount of sticky sweet glaze that had an off putting taste. The fritters were small chucks of undercooked dough with a fragrance that did go well with them. We didn't eat most of our food. It did not stand up to the reputation that the restaurant has for great food.

Food. Amazing. Lake Erie Rillettes are a must. So freaking good. Cocktails were so well balanced and delicious. Burger melts in your mouth. Hawaiian bun is the perfect vessel for the tender beef. Linguine and Clams were a touch on the salty side but still delicious. Great ambience. Highly recommend.

Loved it. Drinks were awesome, food was awesome. The fish dip was incredible. The vibes were cocktail bar-like. Some dishes a little small but was worth it because it tasted so good
