I tried this place out for brunch. What a delicious experience. Located on Broadway, there was a huge line outside, but I quickly realized it was for the show playing next door. The place was really dark, but the ambience is nice. They have a full bar and a stage for live music and the place is pretty big. The food and drinks were so good. We tried several drinks including the Curtain Call which had gin, lemon, raspberry, elderflower and egg whites. They decorated it with a rainbow heart for pride which was cute. We also had the "Dancing Queen" a drink with passion fruit and champagne. I loved the "That's So Fetch" (from Mean Girls lol) drink which has tequila, illet, passion fruit, and pink cotton candy. They pour the illet over the cotton candy which serves as the sweetener for the drink. It was fun to pour. We also tried their new summer spritzes the "Make Me Blush" (Ketel one grapefruit rose, raspberry, lemon grapefruit soda, and prosecco) and Garden Spritz (Ketel one cucumber mint, cucumber honey, lemon, elderflower and prosecco) which were super refreshing. We also hd had the "Strawberry Fields" with summer fruit tea rosé and prosecco. The "Make Me Blush" was my favorite drink of them all. For the food, we had a lot of different dishes. We got the bee pollen pancakes which were incredible. They had cashew-maple syrup, mascarpone, and brown sugar butter. They were large and fluffy and tasted delicious. None of us really have a sweet tooth, but we all thoroughly enjoyed them. We also had the smoked salmon bagel with waffle fries which was really good. We had the fried chicken sandwich with regular fries also really good. The mac and cheese with eggs, bacon and grilled chicken was delicious well. I'm not a fan of my eggs over easy, but I still enjoyed it. WE also had the greek skillet with potatoes, spinach, peppers, feta cheese, sourdough toast and a baked egg; again not a fan of my eggs not cooked all the way through, but it was still really good. I enjoyed every dish without any modifications, but overall the pancakes were my favorite which is rare as I don't usually go crazy for sweet dishes. The service was great too. Our server was friendly and super attentive. It was overall a really good experience and worth checking out before catching a...
Read moreThis restaurant is apparently a newer addition to the neighborhood and since we were referred here by a friend we decided to stop in.
The wide open floor plan and natural light really makes this place feel unlike any other restaurant around. The variety of seating options seem all very comfortable and accommodating to any size groups, they even have larger and much more comfortable chairs off to the side of the main entry way for drinks and casual conversation. The large full service bar situated closer to the front of the restaurant offers plenty of comfortable stool seating and being centrally located you have are still able to experience any live entertainment.
I was impressed with the courtyard style appearance of the rear dining area which also includes a stage for live entertainment as well as a view of the second floor dining area, this really opens this whole space up.
We were immediately seated in a comfortable booth by a very friendly hostess and immediately greeted by Danny, our server. Danny helped me find a beer I would like and answered all of our questions about the menu. The menu does have a wonderful variety of unique entrees which will also accommodate vegetarians. I ordered the cheeseburger, medium rare of course and waffle fries. The cheeseburger was prepared exactly as I asked, all fresh ingredients, it was very good. The waffle fries were some of the biggest waffle fries I have seen, they were seasoned perfectly and served in a metal cup which allowed them to retain health longer.
We also ordered a vegetarian option, Falafel Pockets, they were excellent as well, a very large serving size and the falafel was cooked to perfection.
Overall this was a great dinner, Danny was one of the best servers we have had with a great personality. The price point is right on for the area, we will be returning in the...
Read moreI just had my 22nd birthday party on Saturday at Haswell Greens/Winnies. I rented out the library bar on the second floor and had about 25 people there! The atmosphere, the vibes, the service, and the staff were AWESOME!!! I could not have asked for anything better. Emma (the event planner) helped me book the space and was so patient with me while I asked her about a million questions. She even gave me her personal number to reach out to her with any further questions after we toured the place and made the process go so smoothly! If anyone is ever planning an event make sure to ask for Emma! Secondly, on the day of my party, Kevin and Alush (she was our bartender but Im not sure how to spell her name!) were SO AMAZING!! They both kept checking in with me and made sure all of my requests were taken care of! I would make a request and within the next 2 minutes they would be on top of it! I was honestly so stressed about my night going smoothly but little did I know I had nothing to worry about! I had the open bar/private space from 9:45-11:45 but my birthday was at midnight and they let me have the space until 12:30 to cut cake! They all truly made my night so special by bringing out a bubble gun blower and a saxophone player! I have been at and even hosted so many private events for me or my friends birthdays but Haswell Greens/Winnies tops everything! I will definitely be coming back even for dinner/drinks with my friends and for those who are considering having an event here, do not think twice! Trust me you will...
