Deep fry and dank. The Brussel sprouts were nothing more than deep fry with plenty of extra oil on the plate, sprinkled with pine nuts and forgotten salt. ChickUN n' waffles was much the same but with maple syrup. Creamy tomato pasta with raw asparagus and more deep-fried Brussels. Very nice table cloth, server and hostess. We may have to reside ourselves to possible fact that this is as good as it will get for a long while yet.

Wait staff was super and the beer list was great! Food was not great. Didn’t seem fresh. Heated up in microwave? Chicken Corn Chowder was too thick, not soup at all. Reuben egg rolls were poor. Cuban sandwich was okay. And, the food was WAY too expensive!

We were in an igloo so it was very quiet ( I wish we could hear the Christmas music a little better). Food and staff was amazing! Staff checked on us frequently but not an overwhelming amount of times. Definitely plan on going back. More expensive than expected, but food and drinks were delicious!!

We had a reservation for 7:30, which we had made several weeks in advance. Unfortunately, the people sitting at “our” table wouldn’t leave - they had paid but were just sitting with water glasses. We were offered at seat at the communal table at 7:45, but that wasn’t really the vibe we were going for. Finally, at 7:55, we were offered a seat at Tom’s Oyster Bar next door. It was ok and allowed us to at least eat, but not the vibe we were going for. The hostess didn’t seem to know what else to do and I don’t blame her - she was young and trying. But it’s a shame management didn’t step in to move that other table. I should note that once we get seated, the first wine and cocktail I ordered were unavailable. And, the whiskey my husband ordered was also unavailable. Food was fine and our server was nice but I won’t be back.

I have never had a bad experience at Ale Mary's. The food is amazing and having a full omnivore and a full vegan menu makes dining in groups so easy! Many GF options as well. Not only is the food so good but the staff is so friendly and attentive, especially India. My whole family and I will return.

Cute place with great service and extensive beer and vegan menus. However, all four of us received cold food. I've tried this place twice (dinner and brunch), both with the same outcome - great service with lackluster, cold food. I won't be going back to eat.

They used to have Christmas and Hanukkah decor during their jingle pop up. Now there’s no Hanukkah decor which isn’t inclusive. Such a bad time to all of a sudden not include Hanukkah decor with all the ridiculously sad antisemitism going on in the news. The ambiance wasn’t as inviting or fun as it used to be with Jingle. Heard a few other patrons say the same thing and notice lack of inclusivity. Why change something that was so good and make it just… meh? Other than that, we always have a great time with the service, food and drinks!

My power grain salad wasn't very good - everything was slightly bitter and it was overpriced. The majority of it was spring mix, all the good stuff was scarce. The rest of my group rated their omelette and breakfast burritos as "fine."
