Food was good.
Atmosphere better 😎
Prices have skyrocketed here what they heck?! Seattle prices . Horrible.
$18 for a Caesar salad without chicken? We came with a Groupon and probably won't come again without one. The food and beer was good though. My wife said it had a funny smell but I didn't notice it.
A good bar and grill with a nice patio out back.
Small restaurant but it was fairly busy. The bartender got to us quickly and took our order in a reasonable amount of time. I ordered the meatloaf which was good except it was covered in a sauce that I didn't care for. They swapped the meal with a steak sandwich which was much better. Waited for 20 mins after we finished eating to pay the bill probably just went up to the bar to pay and still took another 10 mins to do that. Never got refills on our $5.95 sodas.
I was here when this placed first opened, not far from where I lived. And wasn’t impressed, went the other day and yeah, …. had a Caesar salad, added salmon, it was dry! The dressing wasn’t Caesar dressing! And the waiter couldn’t grind fresh pepper!
Great food and wonderful weekend pricing. We have never seen a menu that everything is 13.00 on the weekend. We will return as the food was excellent.
We had an incredible experience here with Lily G. We came in on a Saturday around noon and she was doing everything! Running the food, answering the phones, taking tables all over the bar and restaurant, etc. (with a giant smile on her face). They also have great vegan options like a vegan chicken patty, impossible, and lettuce cups, which was refreshing. My husband got the burger and it was on of the best he’s ever had. The atmosphere is so cute, chic diner. Our first time here and we will definitely be back! (especially for Lily on the days she works ;)
Very casual, steady to slow service, employees often spending more time talking than serving
The food is always good. This service was a bit slow, but I think the problem was in the kitchen.the waiter was friendly and helpful and I enjoyed our chat. The atmosphere is fine, but it was a gray day outside, so things felt gloomy from our window table.

Our first time back since the renovation and new menu.
We used to be regulars, live a mile away
No more.
The updated menu obviously is meant to make what was a comfortable neighborhood place seem more upscale
BIG mistake.
Prime rib Friday special is something they have no business doing with a kitchen that has no clue how to cook a prime rib properly.
My nephew observed that his was " cremated" but nibbled at it anyway.
He's shy
Not so my husband, who worked at Black Angus in his youth
His medium rare was sent back, came back overdone and inedible
The server did get hus meal comped, which was appreciated, but he still didn't have a dinner .
None of the dishes I used to order were on the menu.
I settled for a "flatbread" a cheese and basil rectangular pizza thing that cost $22!!!
A salad or soup would have been SIX DOLLARS addi

They revamped the menu and took off a bunch of stuff including veggie items. They also upped the prices so you're paying around $25 an entree. Plus there is a "living wage" surcharge that we didn't see mentioned on the menu.
Food was fine. Service was good. Everything else has gone downhill.

We ordered from the Vegan menu this weekend and the food was incredible. The cashew cream fettuccine and seitan drumsticks need to stay year round. Jacquie did a great job on the menu. Thanks again.

Ordered take out from the vegan menu this weekend. The Cashew Alfredo Fettucine, which was supposed to have chanterelle and lobster mushrooms did not have a shred of fungi and the cashew "cream" was very chunky. I essentially spent $22 on chunky fettucine with tomatoes. Very disappointed as I have been seeing awesome pictures on the local vegan group all weekend and my meal was a complete let down. The saving grace were the Seitan drumsticks.

Limited menu for such a big restaurant but french dip was decent. Portion of meat was good but there isn't anything to set it apart, nothing special or memorable
