Absolutely delicious dinner. I had the white fish which was tender and fresh. My husband had a prime rib which was cooked to perfection. The orange old fashion (special drink) was very tasty. Overall it was a very good experience.

The whitefish entree was delicious and I was able to switch out the green bean side for the chef vegetables which were yummy. The strawberry lemonade cocktail was great. I preferred it over the Pear Spritzer which was too sweet.

Great crafted beers, Limited menu, but enough variety of sandwiches, salads and entrees to please everyone. Nicely renovated brick building with some outside seating off a side street.

Wanted to try some place new for my birthday (which I put in the reservation), Our waiter was like a turtle and we were the only ones there as we came at 5, I am very disappointed in the service and the food was not anything special, my sweet potato fries seemed like the were on the plate the entire time my burger was being cooked so they were room temp. Our waiter never asked how food was, He never checked our drinks, almost awkward interactions. HARD PASS
