They had a few n/a choices for beer, I had the lemon drop cocktail (Thursday special $8 cocktails well liquor). Ordered buffalo egg rolls, unfortunately they were very dry, no buffalo flavor. For dinner my husband had the Mozambique Mussels, they were supposed to be spicy but were just more vinegary- not bad just not what he was hoping, The dish came with crostinis to soak up broth. I was trying to decide between the brick chicken and the steak tips. I had the steak tips there before and they were excellent! The bartender suggested since I had them before to try the chicken. Great choice- it was so flavorful and moist! It came with asparagus and choice of starch. I picked roasted potatoes. Not realizing it was sweet potatoes- I think it had a sweet liquid maybe maple syrup? Little too sweet for me but tasty, The bartender was serving on the floor as well as the bar because their server had gone back to Ireland the day before - but she managed it well, as the floor and the bar was filling up! There are tables that over looks water if you are so inclined, nice music playing in the background. We will be back!!

You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu, but I'd like to highlight one dish - Chicken Tandoori Fries! These fries are crispy, loaded with flavor with a bunch of chicken and cheese on it.

The dining room is absolutely massive and I'm sure it could fit a large number of people, so I don't think making a reservation is ever necessary. It is strange that I never see many people dine in, but you could see they're very busy with takeout orders. The staff are always friendly, timely and knowledgeable about their menu.

I hate saying this because the place itself is such a vibe, but the food didn't totally live up to how good it looked. Like my boyfriend said, everything we tried was good, but probably something we could make just as well at home.

It's usually wicked retarded to go out for breakfast. You know the drill: huge bucks for eggs toast and the like. Gross places with families and screaming toddlers and the usual horrors and bad vibes. The food is just crap that you should just make at home, etc. But this joint is au contraire, bro. It has a movie-theme menu and fun AF decor. Cinema-theme bric-a-brac stuff -Hollywood classic posters and do-dads, etc. The menu is visually stimulating and funny movie-pun dishes. Frankenstein Flapjacks. Stooges stuff. Wicked extensive menu. You get the picture. I had the Portuguese Firecracker or something like that. Portuguese meats and that Bobo Bread or whatever it's called. Sizzling hot in a skillet and yumski AF. BONUS: They have "those mugs" -IYKYK. The mugs that are wicked heavy and thick with those perfectly ergonomic thick rounded rims that just glide into your lips and hug 'em ever so comfortably. IYKYK. Smash that like button if you know what I am talking about. The staff is friendly AF. Absolutely wonderful. Food is hot n' fresh and it is a cool crowd -local yokalls. My dish was yummy AF and so was Mo's. Good portions and stellar on-the-spot service. Fun AF. Peep it out. PS - I think that this joint could kick it up yet another notch if they had some true movie-theme-constructed stuff. Make Frankenstein Flapjacks green with a rectangular-head shape flapjack and some basic food graphics on the face, etc. Maybe a Dracula too. There are endless possibilities with other movie characters. This would push the envelope nicely!
