    I’m sure the bar is great, but as a dining experience it is not the best. This was the second time I came here and was greeted by the hostesses like I had three heads! Both times I entered the restaurant they looked at me like we weren’t allowed in or something. Then got very confused on how to seat our family even though no one was in the restaurant (not a very big family only 2 children). Our salads were very good though and my husband liked his burger. Not sure if I’ll be back, maybe for takeout!

    The food here is always very good. The service is hit or miss. Last night we had a wonderful server. It would be nice if they could keep that consistent here.

    It’s a typical bar food experience with a better than average decor and ambiance, drinks are not anything over the top and the food needs more attention to detail, so many things can be done to enhance their menu. From the quality of ingredients used to the overall look and feel of the dishes. It can be a successful place but it’s stuck in a rut, you just can’t throw darts at the wall and see what sticks in hope that it works.

    Pretty good experience overall. We had pumpkin ravioli (not very hot when delayed coming out of the kitchen) and fish tacos - good flavor but lots of filling. Service was fast - Camille. Ordered mocktail without ice - would have been nice for them to fill the extra juice. I think there was a live band - pretty noisy for normal conversation level. Would go to again but more for happy hour events.

    Great food and service. Some of the best wings I have ever had. The bruschetta was amazing.

    Good overall. Very loud bar. Perfect for live sports, but not for a chill or casual relaxing outing. Food was good for a sports bar environment. I would dare call it high end bar food.

    Went for Sunday brunch. Food was good and noise level was nicer than evening where acoustics can make it seem quite loud. Ordered Bloody Mary’s with Tanqueray and Tequila instead of Vodka and was surprised at a $5 per drink upcharge. I can see a couple dollars but $5 each for replacing the Vodka with an alternative liquor seems a little steep — made 4 Bloody Mary’s cost $68+tax+tip. So for that price, they could have at least had a celery stalk in them instead of one tiny olive. Also, no jam for the thick Toast.
