    We truly enjoyed the breakfast with Santa that was hosted here, our families had such a great time and it's definitely a tradition we will want to do again next year. It was a perfect amount of food, a great atmosphere and Santa was interactive and such a great treat for our kids.

    Better than average pub fare. Nicely done remodel. No band playing the night we went, but there appears to be a stage. Prices were reasonable, cocktails were good, as was the service. It was a Sunday night, so it was a pretty slow night for the restaurant. Will go again. I hope they're successful, it's a nice place with a big outdoor space for lounging and hanging out.

    I’ve been there several times. Great space. Nice fun, casual menu. They had an excellent acoustic guitar player. Because of the design of the building, it was very loud, but enjoyable. Service was very good and the food was also terrific.

    Food and service was good. The noise level inside is way too loud and sounds like you’re in a cave. The place will definitely improve with some acoustic panels in the space to stop the sound from bouncing everywhere. Lots of potential. Hope they have happy hour specials.

    Pros: The outdoor patio is nice and casual. The indoor/outdoor bar is a good looking feature. Cons: The food was bad. We expected bar food but the quality of the food was not good, especially for the price. We got a salad (contained some brown lettuce and a large, disproportionate amount of onion, and a not great tasting “burrata” cheese) chicken sandwich, penne pesto chicken, and Nashville hot chicken sliders. We really wanted to like this new place in town, but I’m sorry to say, we will not return due to the food.

    Food was fair. Noise level inside-horrible acoustics. Opted outside to eat. Patio is very nice. No silverware until we asked, no teabags and this was supposedly brunch/lunch. Didn’t have two items on menu given. Would not recommend. Waitress was very accommodating and apologized. More of a sports bar!

    The vibe was cute. The food was decent. My only complaints are … the portions were not equivalent to the price. I felt like I ordered from the kids menu for the price of a full entree. The drinks were decent too, just over priced for nothing extravagant. The music was also way too low which makes it feel chaotic due to how loud everyone is in there. I guess on the bright side , our waitress Emma was sweet so I’d possibly return , just need them to do better!

    I enjoyed my experience. My only complaint was that the noise level is really loud. Our friend wears hearing aids and the noise level was really bothering her. Other than that the place is very nice and clean. Food was good our server Emma could not have been nicer.
