this place has a ton of potential; it's cozy but well kept, it's a cool location, they have good live music. Unfortunately, potential doesn't make up for how unorganized it was.
I have them 2 stars instead of one just because it could be a GREAT place if they actually had the food figured out.
I don't know what was going on the night we were there, but something was wrong. I don't know if their chef quit or something, but the food situation was not what I read in other reviews. When we arrived at dinner time, we were told the chef was printing new menus, so we couldn't have one. The kitchen was dark, and we could see the chef on his computer. 15 min later, we get a very basic menu consisting of items that could be quickly thrown in a fryer, a burger, or a chicken sandwich....most of the paper was just blank. Still, the kitchen remained dark and unused. No one was ordering, so we took this all as a sign to eat elsewhere. As we finished our beers, someone came around and collected/removed all of the menus from the customers. While we were there, not a single meal or appetizer was made, and they didn't even seem ready to cook. The kitchen, which is visible from anywhere in the bar, remained dark, and the grills/fryers weren't fired up.
If this place could just be ready to serve food at dinner time, I would've ordered a standard burger and been happy, but it was pretty clear that they weren't ready for any food...
Read moreComfortable setting, great food, creative owner. Only reason for 4 stars and not 5, the service can be very slow. The last time I was there, we sat there for a solid 5 minutes waiting for the bartender to serve us and watch several other customers get served that were there after us. I get that it is busy (it wasn't slamming, but just coming down from a rush it appeared), but then you at least acknowledge my existence and say, "I'll be right with you." Still absolutely worth going to and checking out. Great live music and well above the "corner...
Read moreThis place is cozy, friendly and has amazing cocktails. The Tacos bring in a huge crowd so I won't talk about them here in fear that you'll crowd me out. The tendies are knowledgable about the beer AND the cocktails. They have a list of fancy pre prohibition drinks to try. My favorite I call "The Mind Eraser" they call it something in French though. Not a Party place, nice adult conversation with eccentric music playing clearly but not so loud that you have to yell to talk to people even across the bar. check it out,...
