“Came with my husband on a reservation 530p promptly. The hostess made us wait. The again. And again. After 10min asked outside, 1st flr or 2nd we never been there before, we said inside I guess 1st. We came inside she put us far back in the corner by a window 2 top table. The server Tana very nice young lady, had guests outside patio more so than just us the 1st 30min. We had drinks, sweather weather sangria and orange cardimum old fashion for me very watery for both, drank our waters ordered stuffed peppers (2on plate were cold), the 2 crab cakes were great tasting but cold as well. Onion Soup ok not the best, and our dinners came out, those were ok but it had been 1 hr and our server had been so busy with the patio we only received water from her the support staff brought all dishes out and she came 3x nice person but mngt should not give servers both in and out tables on a Fri night. We truly were not happy at the end of the meal receiving a fee for cashing out, cash vs card whereas being told upon entering at hostess. Must start to be common these days for venues to charge for their merchant fees to a guests, we spent over 125 for 2 persons and to us was not fine dining. We also saw the pricing was different on receipt than the menu. 😕 Not good business practice. Atmosphere was of a cheersor winking lizard bar, and not intimate for a night out with my husband, back to nemos.”
“I Had the frenched birkshire pork chop with pears and bourbon sauce, it was the best pork chop I've ever eaten. It came with mashed sweet potatoes. I also had a mocktale, it was apple cider like with a cinnamon stick in it. It was very good. I definitely recommend going there. Nice atmosphere. They were very busy.”
“Went for happy hour on January 30 and had a great experience. Ordered the pierogies. Drinks are $6 for a Manhattan in a Moscow mule. That's a great price. Then we ordered and split the pork and wow that is an amazing meal. Natalie is it a huge piece of work which is very splitable, it was flavorful and juicy. Recommend it How to photo but can't see how to post it”
