   Decent but very salty. French dip, burger, fries. The biscuit app was very good.

   I love their beet salad. It is fresh and delicious. My friend and I shared it and there was more than enough. I tried their hamburger for the 1st time and it was very good. No dessert. I was too full

   Guinness short rib dinner was fantastic! The cocktails are always so good and a great variety. Love going here!

   Amazing food, service and the place is very nice. It was a little more expensive than I would have thought. But the food and drinks were delicious.

   First and foremost, the food was subpar. The flavors were bland, the presentation was uninspired, and overall, it lacked the quality I expected. For the price, I anticipated better execution and fresher ingredients. Speaking of price, the value was disappointing. The portions didn’t justify the cost, and it felt like I was paying more for the ambiance than the meal itself. As a vegetarian, I found the options lacking. The menu was not particularly accommodating, and the few vegetarian dishes available seemed like an afterthought rather than carefully crafted meals. If you’re looking for a restaurant with solid plant-based choices, this may not be the best fit. Overall, the experience was underwhelming. With better food quality, improved value, and a more inclusive menu, it could have potential, but as of now, I wouldn’t recommend it—especially for vegetarians.

   The evening was very pleasant. Our server Fatima was excellent and so personable. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great! Warm and cozy on a snowy winter’s night!

    It was Valentines Day and I’ve had bad experiences where restaurants are at capacity and not at their best. Our waitress was knowledgeable. The cocktails were very good as was the appetizer. One main dish was a pasta dish with shrimp. It had a fishy smell to it one one shrimp had a mushy consistency. The other main dish was Branzino which was good but the portion was small. I was excited for dessert because we order an apple crisp bread pudding. The portion was large but had little taste but the ice cream with it was good. Overall we were disappointed. Don’t know if I will go back.
