Came here for lunch before work, so no alcohol for me. Nice atmosphere, employees are friendly, especially the bartender. Waitstaff was hit and miss, even for a late lunch crowd. A little inattentive at times. Siting at the bar looked like a better experience. Got the fish and chips. Fish was average size, three pieces for $14. Eh. Well cooked, though, at least.

I got a pint of decent IPA (Goose Island?) for $5, which is a good price, especially having just paid $9 for a pint at Sauce, yeesh. Anyhoo, it's a smallish place but wasn't too loud or crowded so my friend and I were able to easily find a seat and enjoy a nice conversation over a drink.
