The atmosphere was very nice and the service warm and friendly. We started with a pitcher of sangria that tasted like an autumn day...fresh crisp. For appetizer we had the wings that came with freshly made real blue cheese...so good! We all enjoyed our entrees (pesto pasta, vodka sauce pasta, burger, fried chicken)...not the actual dish name...and the dishes were nice size servings. Overall it met all my criteria...atmosphere, service, drinks, food, value. Metered parking but after 6pm it's free. PS next time I'll take pictures, because we will be back.

Saw that this place had reopened. Never went to it before. Nice decor. Very sleek. Radio music playing. Didn't understand the multi tvs displaying a streaming device loop of programs but nothing playing. I guess maybe they have games on some times? Menu is not expansive. Very limited in options. Buttermilk Fried chicken sandwich was tasty. Liked the slaw they had with it. Housemade chips were good. Friend had a burger said it had good seasoning. Service was friendly and attentive.

CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS (or at least it was on 8/27/22 when I stopped here) I wish people would update their Yelp listings when they close. read more CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS (or at least it was on 8/27/22 when I stopped here) I wish people would update their Yelp listings when they close.

They do well on several levels: the place looks great (including big open windows in the front and outdoor dining) the bar is nice (good selection, including some great local beer) and from what I've heard, the food is good. What's missing for me is more vegan options. They used to have a veggie burger, which for some reason was taken off the menu, so now the only vegan options are French fries or a basic salad. Come on guys, it's 2022! At least give us a veggie burger!

They should remove everyone food and teach them how to greet/approach people with positive energy. They should just remove the waiters and hosts
