We had a large party of 30 that they handled flawlessly. This was after 2 small pairs of two tested it out independently. The reservation went without a hitch. Best description is elevated bar food, with a few diners thrown in there. Or party had everything from a kids hot dog to Caribbean jerk chicken with mango salsa and cauliflower rice. All of it was great!

We stumbled upon this little gem of a restaurant while making our way to the parking lot, and we're so glad we did! I can't recommend the hamburger and spicy French fries enough absolutely delicious!

Heartbreakingly terrible with rude, unprofessional and aggressive staff. I have never written a review before but the experience was so terrible I wouldn’t want others to have to experience.
Was visiting from out of town with 2 young children and decided to stop here due to the convenience of the location to other activities planned. They would not allow us to sit until our whole party arrived despite it being August heat with a 3 month old baby making us wait outside for 30 mins. Once inside with our whole party they informed us that they had no seats to accommodate our toddler despite us informing them previously of a toddler seat request. They were very aggressive the entire time despite us trying to calmly work with them to find a solution. They were very unprofessional, disrespectful and down right nasty. They proceeded to kick us out without explanation. Would not recommend to anyone. We then walked with our toddler and infant to La Stalla who were wonderful with no issues and had delicious food.

Please note that this place is NOT handicap accessible. There is no ramp to get into the restaurant and no elevator inside to get to the second floor. They also have a weird rule about strollers and do not allow strollers to be rolled on the first floor. Food is good. Service was just fine.

I originally started coming here for the great tap list, Russian River, in particular. One of the few places that gets their limited release of Pliny the Younger. Pliny the Elder has been on tap there seemingly on a constant basis, which in itself is great.

Aside from the beer, I decided to sit down and eat, and was very pleasantly surprised how good the food is. I've had a few different sandwiches there and the blackened mahi wrap. All fresh and well portioned.

Love the local vibe of the place, as well as the friendly staff. Prices are very reasonable.

Note, they are sticklers about ensuring your entire group is on site before you are seated. Not the first restaurant I've seen enforce this, and frankly no big deal. Just something to be aware of.

I've been back a few times with the family, and always a pleasant experience.

Consistently good food, especially the burgers. They have one of the most eclectic beer offerings around, lots of great options to try!

Great beer. Our burgers were cooked perfectly! A very casual atmosphere with an eclectic and dynamic beer list.

Nice place! Good selection of food and beverages. Parking is convenient because it's right next to the free municipal parking lot.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this place earned it—for all the wrong reasons. I walked in expecting a nice meal and instead got attitude and disrespect right out of the gate. The staff was generally unwelcoming, but the worst part was dealing with Tim, who claimed he was the manager. If that’s true, I feel sorry for anyone who has to work under him.

He was unbelievably rude and refused to seat me for no clear reason, acting like I was a nuisance for even walking through the door. No apology, no explanation, just a dismissive and arrogant attitude. I’ve never felt so unwelcome in a restaurant in my life.

If you value common courtesy, customer service, or just being treated like a human being—go literally anywhere else. This place does not deserve your time or money.

Dear Glenn Blakely,
The Manager Danielle’s response was disappointing. Please read.
I am writing to express my disappointment following a recent visit to your restaurant on June 19th, 2025. Unfortunately, both the food and the service fell short of expectations, and I believe it's important to bring these matters to your attention.
To begin with, the food was not of the quality I anticipated. We ordered two platters of JERK CHICKEN & CAULI FRIED RICE, and it was just not edible. I tried to eat it, but I just could not. I woke up the next morning extremely sick to my stomach. The BONELESS WINGS that my grandson ordered were undercooked. They were incredibly soft and almost kind of like looked like wontons and not edible. The PAN SEARED SALMON was not tasty and did not have good order as well. This was especially disappointing given that it was a special occasion for my grandson, and I've never had a bad experience at your restaurant in the past. I have given you an exceptionally good review before.
Equally troubling was the Host when she took us upstairs to be seated and prior to us arriving at the dining area she placed the silverware on the table and turned around and walked away without saying a word or before I even arrived at the table. There was a significant delay between courses, it took about 30 minutes each time before I could request anything including the check. While I understand that busy nights can present challenges, the overall lack of attention was frustrating.
I value honest feedback, and I hope you take this as a sincere effort to highlight areas for improvement. Quality service and food are the foundation of any successful dining experience, and I hope steps will be taken to address these concerns for the benefit of future patrons.
Additionally, I did call to speak to the manager the following day on June 20th. The Manager Danielle was incredibly rude and dismissive when I politely raised a concern about my experience. Instead of addressing the issue, she seemed annoyed and uninterested in helping. I told her that I did not intend for her to feel defensive. I was just sharing my experience. She had a lack of empathy and hung the phone up on me. I was not rude, I was very polite, there was no reason for her to talk to me the way she did and kept interrupting me, then hung up the phone. I come from a line of work where customer service is essential and it's valued. I did not feel that way. I have been a patron for 5 years.

Sadly Disappointed Customer.

Turkey Club indicated it was hand carved Turkey. They use turkey roll. This is a processed product where the meat is ground up and comes out in a roll with out any texture. It would be more accurate to say it's hand sliced turkey roll. Very low quality product.

At the bar, waiting for my son for dinner. Asked if I could sit at a booth near the bar that was open, as were other tables in the bar area, son was due to arrive in 10min. Rude person at the hostess stand ‘ no, you’ll have to wait for him to arrive’ on a slow Wednesday ? Sorry, found another place for dinner tonight?
