We chose to eat at the bar area across from the main dining room. Servers were awesome. We were able to order from most of the menu. A little loud, but it was a Friday night and we figured mostly regulars were there, so we didn’t mind. We love Pat’s.

Great experience! The food, the atmosphere and the service… all excellent. Only issue for me is how cold it always feels (thermostat set at 69 degrees) but I go prepared. You won’t be disappointed.

Atmosphere inside was way different than outside. Reservations don't work for outdoor dining which is sad.
