Delicious food. We had a crab dip appetizer for the table. There was plenty for all three of us. I had a Bison burger, excellent. Excellent service, free parking lot. Kid friendly and wheelchair accessible. I recommend the Red Brick Station.

I dined here on Valentine’s Day, and my only complaint is the long wait even after having a reservation. But I guess that is to be expected. The food was great, atmosphere was nice for the occasion, and the drinks were well made! Will definitely visit again (on a less hectic night).
