    We were seated in the little room behind the bar. It was a perfect spot for the 10 of us to be able to talk and catch up without a lot of background noise. Our waitress was great as was the food.

    Wonderful evening with friends. The Dad’s Hat Rye Smoked Old Fashioned was exceptional. The fried calamari appetizer was perfect and the Fish and Chips were beautifully done. Great atmosphere and very attentive service. Will definitely return and highly recommended

    Fun place to go, but limited menu. Only one Sauvignon wine option priced too high per glass and terrible acoustics. You could barely carry on a conversation without speaking very loudly.

    Apps came before drinks which is a big pet peeve of mine, but our server was clearly in the weeds. (In his defense, the bar is on the complete opposite side of the restaurant…. It’s FAR, and food comes out fast from that kitchen (which is great given how busy it was!)) We had a broken glass mishap (bad crystal ) that was handled by management (again, no sight of our server). My dining companions glass was also cracked (but luckily we saw this one BEFORE it broke in his lap!!) Overall, good food, mediocre service… but maybe I’ll enjoy it more if I don’t have to sit through my meal in a cosmo-soaked too and pants!
