My husband and I had wanted to have an app and a drink outside but it was literally sweltering. Disappointed at first because their outdoor area is so cute but that was quickly over when we got seated upstairs. This place has so much character and feels old fashioned inside.

We were seated right away but that’s unfortunately where the quick service ended. We were there around noon so it was not busy at all. We waited about 15 minutes to put our drink and food order in, waited an additional 10 minutes for our drinks and then another 10 minutes for our appetizer. We meant to be there for a quick stop in but our whole trip was well over an hour. We have the waiter our credit card and waited another 15 minutes for him to bring it up so finally we walked to the bar downstairs and got it from him. We still left 20% tip because I can’t imagine the uncertainty of being a server these days but the service left something to be desired.

We both had the “Is It summer yet?” cocktail. It was fizzy and light and just what I was looking for on a hot day. A downside was the mint in our drinks looked kind of brown and not so fresh. We then shared the meat and cheese board and were very pleased with it. The smoked Gouda, yummmm. I’m still thinking about it.

So overall I wanted to love it because the furniture and atmosphere made me feel so comfy but fancy at the same time. But I was left a little disappointed with the slow service and funky looking mint in our drinks. I’ll try it again on a more mild day where I can enjoy their outdoor space.
