My GF loves burbon so we decided we would give this place a try it’s supposed to be old school as we like. Upon stepping in the door we were greeted by a gentleman host it was around 8:30 pm on a Friday evening in February valentines weekend 2022. He said the bar is booked up, there was a empty table so I asked can we sit there, he said yes I suppose so. (Never heard of a bar being booked up can’t sit there but ok.) we sat at the table ordered two expensive drinks immediately, he stated no food kitchen is closed (in the state of WV a bar shall and is required serve some type of food per ABC until closing) but as we sat we watched bartenders putting new food order tickets in the window and food continuously prepared by the cooks plate after plate coming out. We found all this rather strange, seemed as he didn’t want our business. Nevertheless we still was waiting on drinks, he kept telling us they were coming all while bartenders were leaning up laughing and talking to other patrons that were sitting at the bar. So after 20 minutes of this we got up and walked out and don’t plan on returning. Just a warning this place seems to have old money regulars and if they don’t know you they don’t want your business, from food to the drinks, a bad experience……..By sharing this I hope I may spare others the...
Read moreAtmosphere was classy for the eyes. The music was ok but maybe a more carefully chosen genre would be a better choice, such as jazz.
Drink was good. I like the focus on WV-made gin on the cocktail menu.
Bread was very good, and the spread that was provided for it was excellent.
I had had filet. Delicious. Potatoes that came with also very good Not enough food though.
Spouse had the entree that was a combination of seared scallops and some kind of crayfish-type thing. Also quite delicious, but be warned... Like Christian on another review here said, the portion was much too small. I could have easily eaten 3 servings of it and would still be hungry despite being a small person. Please, if you are a decision-maker for this place, consider bigger portions.
The waitress/server was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to both food and drink options while being accommodating to specific requests.
Overall I couldn't ask for better quality food, drinks, or service, but I recommend slightly better music and... please, please consider bigger portion...
Read moreWell....I guess I found where I’ll be coming, oh I don’t know....EVERY TIME I’m back in Morgantown!!
Can’t say enough about this place, thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of my time here.
Sat at the bar and immediately noticed that they have a great liquor selection, with my tastes leaning towards the bourbons and whiskeys.
Josh, the bartender, immediately makes everyone feel welcome and really knew his stuff when it came to their selection. (There is an Aussie bartender who is awesome as well, I’m a jerk for not getting his name).
I had the petite crabcake as an appetizer and the scallops for my entrée to help me wash down the Blanton’s and Old Forestor 1920 (the Aussie suggested this one and it did not disappoint! AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE, OI, OI, OI!).
Oh, and for crazy bonus points they had the big rock (ice cube) - you’d be surprised how many people don’t, and it makes a world of difference.
A+ for the atmosphere, service, conversation, drinks, and of course the food. Don’t miss out on coming here if...
