    Food and service we're both excellent. Melissa was very prompt and helpful. The food was relatively quick to come out and was really good, large portions! I got the fish and chips and my boyfriend got a cheeseburger, neither of us left hungry or disappointed. I also brought my dog with me and was easily welcomed on to their outside patio. Was a lovely place for an early lunch and they have a huge tap menu! Will definitely make a return visit.

    Fair At Best Maybe because it was a Tuesday night and the third string was working. First time there and I waited a good while for service. Waited a good while for food. Food was fair. Not impressed with anything I saw or experienced. Will try one of the many other options in the area. Also - read the other reviews. First timers and visitors are the fresh eyes.

    We went on a Sunday afternoon, around 2:30, and sat in the courtyard patio where live blues music was being played on a corner stage next to a small dance area. We shared some nachos which were fine but could use more chips. The wait staff were pretty busy but we didn't have a long wait for food.

    We have dined here many times and the service and food was always good. I took my wife and my mother here for mother's day brunch. They were not prepared for mother's day. 45 minute wait for food after ordering. Food arrived cold, obviously had been sitting for a while after being prepared. The patty melt had been grilled on only one side and was lacking cheese.

    Were there with friends out of town. We were outside & even in the cold the heaters kept us warm. Great food and staff. I had the salmon salad. Great!!
