Can't understand why people keep coming to this place. I truly truly want to give this place a good review but here is the... bottom line. Visit 1 - June 2020 - over priced food, 1 hour wait to get meal. Visit 2 - November 2020 - Gave it another shotbecause maybe pandemic was the issue. Once again, OVER an hour to get my meal. Food was ok... Visit 3 - June 21 - gave itanother shot - 75 mins to get food. Visit 4 - Feb 2022 - 7pm reservation got seated at 730. Waitress did not return until 750because I had to actually find a server to come help us. Food arrived at 840. Essentially a a 1 hour and 40 minute wait. Never,ever coming here again. Read more
This is a bar with bar food and bar service. We made a reservation, when we arrived they asked if we had a reservation. We... said yes but staff seemed confused and didn’t seem to know we had a reservation. We sat down. Waited about 10-15 minutesbefore waitress came over. We ordered all our food and drinks at once not knowing when we would see waitress again. Apps weregreat and came out relatively fast. We finished those but no one cleared the table. Not did we see the waitress for 20minutes or more. We had no napkins or silverware til we found some. We tried to signal the manager but he seemed to ignore us. Entree’s came out in good time. Entrees were okay. Buffalo wrap was hot but had no blue cheese and came out with honeymustard. Burgers were bland. Philly cheese steak was good and sweet potato fries were good. The girl bringing the food outwas busting her but delivering all the good to customers. Waitress was absent for the most part but nice other than that. Wewaited 30 minutes plus to see waitress and ask for check. Asked the manger at one point and he said sure. He must have saidnothing cause we waited another ten minutes to see waiter. Paid the check and left. I understand they were likely shortstaffed but we were clearly not a priority. The people drinking around the bar were priority. Do not expect a good sit downmeal with family or friends. It’s A bar with bar food and bar service. Band is loud like others have mentioned. Read more
Good food overall, nice waiter. Buffalo wrap was nice and spicy and Caesar salad was good. Truffle fries were over cooked. Fair... prices and nice location. Good beer. Read more
Was nice and clean. Excellent seating outside with incredible music. New waitress made ordering interesting, but after a few... problems we got what we ordered. Food was hot and the sweet potato waffle fries were excellent. Had a nice evening out. Willdefinitely go back especially if that three piece band is playing. Read more
Spent this visit on the deck. Live music was amusingly enjoyable, seats were available but a fair number of folks were enjoying... their dinners, the whiskey sour lived up to its name, and the fried pickles were plentiful and excellent with chipotle mayo.Would've done some swingdancing but couldn't find a partner this time, although I know the local 802 Westie group frequents thedancefloor. I'll be back. Read more
Philly Mac and cheese was excellent, fried asparagus really, really good as well. Dog friendly on the deck. Service was... amazing!!!! Read more
