One of us had the thai chicken, it was good. I had the nachos - cheese not really melted, but ok. Hubby had philly cheese steak sandwich, said was okay. Son had wings - they looked pretty good and he said they were. It was so great to sit on a patio in Hess Village and as that was our main purpose, it was fine. Food and service not memorable but not terrible either.

The food is strictly bar fare --- burgers, salads, and things that come with a ton of fries. And my first two attempts at ordering were greeted with "we're out of that." One item I can understand. But two? The wine list is unimpressive and over-priced. The food, when it arrived, was ok but could have been warmer. And it took AGES given that neither the patio where we were seated nor the bar itself was busy. Service was friendly and efficient. The server was very apologetic about the two orders they couldn't fill. She DID vanish when it was time to pay the bill and I had to track her down. We won't be back.
