Service has been excellent. Everything we have ordered has been WONDERFUL! The Short Rib Stroganoff is to die for! Hard to beat the Thursday Fajitas special - your choice of chicken, beef or shrimp with all the toppings to build five fajitas PLUS a Margarita included! Right now they are redoing their main dining room, but still plenty of room on the bar side and outdoor covered seating!
This is a regular place for us to grab a good dinner, but we've also had private events in their lower level private dining room. For that event, the food was surprisingly amazing for the price, way better than we thought! Wings, dips, sandwiches were all excellent. And that room has lots of games. Bar staff here is always great. Plenty of seating.
My French dip was perfectly adequate. My husband ordered a Buddha bowl which he enjoyed, but said there was no point in my tasting because there was a bit of a kick to it. The brussels sprouts were served as we requested them to be (no bacon, sauce on the side), but I found them inedible. First, they weren't "warm" as they were described on the menu, but were served rather hot. That doesn't really matter, but what does is that there was nothing on the menu warning diners about the kick the brussels sprouts have. I have no idea what was on them just that whatever it was hurt enough that I considered asking if they were able to give me a glass of milk. I would love to try their short ribs stroganoff and shepherd's pie, but I'm afraid I might run into the same problem (despite there being no unpleasant surprises on my French dip). Service was adequate and pleasant. It was a little difficult to find the handicapped entrance, which is a side door. Once you enter the side door, you have to cross almost the whole width of the restaurant to get to the host station. It's an attractive place that is probably a pretty cheery place to eat when there are more people than there were for our late lunch.
We had a group of 16! Every drink, appetizer and entree came out as ordered. Food was great - our group was impressed. Olivia was our waitress and did a fantastic job!!'
Went with 2 others for lunch. Had the artichoke crab dip as an app. For mains we had a burger, the salmon and the Buddha bowl. All were good but not great. Service was attentive and friendly. Prices are appropriate.
Was in town visiting my sister n they suggested this place. My husband, sister n I all had different salads n her boyfriend had a bowl. They were all delicious. Mine had roasted butternut squash n candied walnuts, my sisters steak n Gorgonzola n my husband's blackened salmon n asparagus. I don't remember exactly what the bowl had except steak avocado n rice. We also had the crab Brie soup. Also delicious. My husband n I split the apple egg rolls for dessert. Yummm. Would definitely return
If you are looking for an outdoor dining spot this place has it, more tables outside than inside. Big covered areas as well as open air, we sat on the covered patio on this visit. We were seated right away and our waitress was right there to get our order started. We tried a couple of their beers, all were good. We ordered the guac & chips for appetizer and then a wedge salad, grilled chicken sandwich. And even tho they did not list a grilled chick sand on the menu, they made it happen. Everything was good, tasty. Service was good, we never had to go looking for our waiter. Prices were reasonable, plenty of parking. I will return.
