I really want to like this restaurant but there is too wide of a gap right now to recommend them. Perhaps they'll turn it around.

We've eaten at this restaurant twice and ordered takeout twice in the course of 5 weeks.

Pro's - The drinks and beer selection are very good (best in this area). The food is unique to other local offerings and tastes great when you can get it still warm. Service while eating in is very good at times.

Con's - This restaurant is super loud inside. The decibel meter on my phone averaged 89dB (Subway) over 10 minutes and peaked at 107.9dB (chainsaw). Sounds above 85dB are harmful. The temp inside is inconsistent, we have been cold and perfectly comfortable on two separate occasions. Service can start out great and become increasingly inattentive as the activity in the restaurant picks-up. To the point where we needed to ask other employees twice over a 10 minute period if they could get our server. Order accuracy leaves allot to be desired. This restaurant is only running at 50% to get our orders right. Not fun waiting for your spouse's order to get fixed and sitting at the table with food in front of you that you know will be nice and room temperature when the other meal is corrected. Takeout is beyond frustrating. 1st takeout order - They should not have curbside pickup if they cannot bring the order out to the car while it is still warm. After checking-in a couple minutes early with the hostess and waiting 15 minutes after my order was supposed to be ready I went in and there it was sitting on the bench. Cold soggy buns and French fries but worst of all, who wants to eat cold mussels? 2nd takeout order - We decide to go in and pick it up. It's was ready - YEAH! Get home and one of the four meals is missing. So 3 of us get to eat re-heated restaurant food after waiting for the missing meal to be made and going to pick it up. If this was $10 bar food ya-know, hey, whatever... It isn't ten dollar bar food. If you spend over a hundred bucks for 4 takeout orders (inclusive of a 20% takeout tip) I think you should be able to expect a little more...

On 2/18, my "brother from another" and I had our server/bartender pick appetizers for us and she chose wisely. Mussels were really good but I would have preferred a thicker sauce, but that's just me. The Short Rib Pouting was so good and could be a meal on its own. The Steamed Buns were not what I expected, not sure what I was expecting, but I was very pleased. Presentation of the appetizers was great!

We split the Lobster and Crab cake sandwich and the Ribeye Steak sandwich with Truffle Fries (not my thing but good) and Coleslaw. Both sandwiches were good sized and looked amazing. The Lobster and Crab cake was, for me, the perfect amount of flavor from the cake, sauce, and toppings. Nothing over powered anything else in the sandwich. Great balance! The Ribeye was cooked perfectly, for me, tender and juicy. Great sandwich on its own but some might want to add something to give it a kick. I'm an A-1 lover and get steak just so I can have some. Having said that,, this sandwich didn't need it.

We asked the bartender to choose drinks as well, again, she didn't disappoint. Great balance of alcohol and mixers to give six different cocktals we had the flavor one would expect. She hit the sweet spot. Not too strong to make it difficult to drink and not to weak to disappoint.

They also had live music and he was really good. Hope they book him again.

Don't want to leave out the other bartender. He was super friendly and also did a great job, wrong gender. Hope you understand.

We will return and others should check...
