We had been wanting to try this place since it's new right down the street from our house. It's pretty noisy and they have music playing, but they have cool decor to make the place interesting to look around at. Our server/waitress was great and very attentive and friendly. The food, however, was not worth the trip. I had high expectations since it's a Hal Smith chain, and we frequent those restaurants. My daughter ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup - soup had a great taste, but the sandwich did not measure up. The cheese tasted and looked like the plastic Kraft cheese, but it was a nice touch how they add the crispy Parmesan on it. The truffle burger did not have taste and the burger buns were full of lint, even the bread on the grilled cheese and on my grilled chicken BBQ sandwich. The burger buns also felt like they were cheap and crumbly almost like the cheap store brand bread from the store. We got the truffle fries upgrade, but they were far too salty and tasted like thick, diner fries cooked in week-old oil. The manager ended up blessing off the check since we had several issues with our food, which was a great call on their end since the only thing worth eating was the small cup of tomato soup. I also attempted to order the frozen watermelon fresca alcohol drink (which the waitress stated was sweet and refreshing), but it tasted very tart, watered down, and really tasted like slushy ice with a hint of mint. I traded it back for just a root beer, which was good. All in all, I don't think I will be returning to try their food. I might come back and try their brunch, but I might just wait until I hear something good about this place before even contemplating it again. At least we were able to try the food for free since they blessed the check. We ended up just going to RedRock, which is another one of Hal Smith restaurants, where the food was much better. 2/10 overall since the waitress had a great attitude. Please post a review if your experience was any different.

Absolutely amazing food and atmosphere. I took my family there as the Edmond location and although they were packed, their flow was impressive. Would highly recommend.

Saturday, we got to sit at the bar during happy hour.. I'm not much of a liquor or whisky snob, but every drink they made me was delicious. I had several of the appetizers, and as they were good, I feel like they could have been a little bigger on size but were very flavorful

The Winston was an up beat place for a quick dinner on a Tuesday night. We tried this place because the other reviews were encouraging and we were not disappointed. The crab dip and the cheese flatbread were wonderful and the stacked enchiladas and chicken parm with sweet potato noodles was different but pleasant. Wait staff were great. The place is small and the noise was loud but I'll bet when the patio opens it will be a much quieter experience.

I sat at the bar being only one person. They were very attentive. I would definitely recommend it and I will be back! The food was very good and delicious. I would say somewhat family friendly although not much for kids to do. Great atmosphere and music.

We stopped by about 8:30 on a Friday night thinking the dinner crowd would be thinning out, but there was still a wait. It would have been nice if they provided some kind of a waiting area other than having to block the front door and entrance to the bathrooms. It's loud, so if you're older like us and have problems hearing with lots of ambient noise this might not be the place for you. Those are the negative point. Onto the good stuff. The booths were pretty comfortable with good padding and the seats were deep enough for my big 300lb body to fit without being too uncomfortable. The food was very good with unique combinations of flavors. The portions weren't huge, they were just about right for us. The drinks were also very good. I had an Old Spiced Old Fashioned and a Nitro Espresso Martini. I could consider the prices affordable for today's world. We didn't have a hitch or issue with the service. Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves despite the loud atmosphere. We will definitely be returning.

Cute little restaurant. Excited to get some new options in north west Edmond. We ordered the Chicken Parmesan which is served with sweet potato zoodles. I would order this dish again. My husband ordered the Prime Minister chicken fried filet. Totally thought it was going to be a chicken filet not beef. So buyer beware. He said he would order something different next time. Overall good experience.

Brand new restaurant and they are running like they have been open for months. The food was great and the service was on point. The art deco decor was nice and they have a very large bar along with a big patio. There are plenty of tv’s to watch sports. We went the second day they were open and it was very busy. Our service was still amazing even though they were slammed. They have Coop F5 on tap. The duck wings were great. Overall the experience was great and we will definitely be back.Parking: The parking lot is pretty small for how many people the restaurant seats.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu available

Had to go see what all the hip was about. Service was not on par. Very small place and no where to stand or sit comfortably while you wait. Standing outside shouldn’t be the only option. There was only one bench outside. As others have mentioned, it is on the loud side. Food was mediocre. They pack everyone in like sardines even while sitting on shared seating space. Very underwhelmed at best.

Service was great. Staff was friendly. Watermelon fresca was delicious. However, prices are quite high for food. At $15 a plate for pork shoulder and truffle burger I was underwhelmed at best. Imo if prices were $2-3 lower it would be more in line with quality.

Walked in thrilled to try it out and sit on the patio. Was told by the hostess that the patio wasn’t opened. There were others out there and we even saw a waiter go up to a table that just sat down out there as we left. I am not sure if she just told us that or what. One person in my party has sensory issues and the restaurant was insanely loud, more than any restaurant I can think of. That was the point of me asking to sit on the patio. Hostess was not very pleasant either which is the very first image and person you see! My view is pretty tarnished of this place and would not go back.

First time visit. Everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks. We had the Grilled chicken quinoa bowl, Banana pepper caesar salad, Spicy chicken nachos, Roasted pork shoulder. I'll be returning to try some appetizers.

The food is good, but the price is too high for what you get. Not worth it.

We stopped in at 6:30 Saturday night, waited about 10 minutes. The Parmesan dip was amazing! We shared the chicken crumble flatbread and it was plenty for the both of us and was delicious ?. Honey was our awesome waitress. I’m so happy to have a new place in the neighborhood to go. Looking forward to brunch sometime too. We will for sure go back
