   Excellent menu, delicious food all around our table. Great local draft beer selections. Loud atmosphere (thank you drunk ladies nearby). All in all it was a very good experience and we'll be back....not our first visit here and we always enjoy the food and drinks!

   Great overall. The service was great and the food was good. My only wish is that the portions were a bit bigger.

   If you want a cozy brunch look no further than an outing to the Shanty. Solid delicious food, warm friendly service, reasonable prices. A welcome respite from the outside world and chance to put away our phones and catch up with friends. Never rushed (thank you Mike) always satisfying. Thank you Shanty teams!

   Disappointed in the food. There were 5 of us and we all found our food to be pretty mediocre. Soggy burger, bland and dry chicken pita, farro bowl was basically just farro with almost no vegetables. Seems like we got the end of the night, cooks had run out of mise, closing down service with sup par food and a server who was in a hurry to be done with us. Disappointed.
