I want so badly to like this place. The food is great, and the staff is nice enough, but I have…read morenever made it out of there in under 2 hours (totally standard visit, shouldn't take more than about 45 minutes). Example - my last visit: Host stand: 5-6 minutes before being acknowledged 4 more before we got a table At the table: 10 minutes before anyone even made eye contact with us. (They were not busy, just a normal weekday evening around 530) Gave them the entire order then hoping to move things along. 20 minutes to receive our food after ordering Interestingly, they were around to take payment right on time (2-3 minutes) but it took forever (7-8 minutes) to get us boxes (asked for both at the same time). The food is the saving grace. It's all fantastic in my experience (more than five visits, trying different items each time). The staff is nice, just not attentive. I thought it was a little overpriced, but I'm probably cheap . Their location is in a cellphone dead zone; they have WiFi to combat that - good luck getting someone to stop by your table, but you can ask for it when they finally do and get it! If you're not in a hurry, check this place out! Delicious!

We arrived about 10 minutes early for our reservation and were seated immediately…read more Our service was GREAT as were our meals and overall experience!!! They were doing a NOLA-themed menu, so we started out with a Sazerac which was DELICIOUS. We ended our meal with Spanish coffee, equally delicious even though our mixer said she'd never made one before. In-between, we enjoyed tuna tartare, oyster bisque, Cajun walleye with hush puppies, a smoky Cajun gumbo, beignets with chocolate sauce and an Argentine malbec. All EXCELLENT!!! If you haven't been to the Historian, you're missing out. Great food, friendly service, nice vibe and decent prices.

It was refreshing to peruse an interesting small plates menu which we would definitely go back to try on a future visit. There is also a traditional menu as well as a special menu on weekends prepared by a guest chef featuring international cuisine. We tried the "Thai Night" menu and especially enjoyed the vegetarian potstickers in a delicious Thai sauce and the noodle salad with shrimp. The flavors were layered, with a delicate creamy texture and just the right amount of spice. There is a parking lot on site and reservations are a must on weekends, although an early arrival might get you a nice spot at the bar!

Ok- this bar is NOT for everyone. It is a very very old timey type bar. It is smoking (and they…read moreallow cigars too). Everyone knows one another. They are very welcoming to new faces. Nothing is on tap- even the soda comes out of a two liter and beers come from cans and bottles. There is no signature cocktail list. Thai is the place for a shot and a beer- or like me- Bacardi and coke. There is a REAL jukebox- not one of those virtual boxes. Good old school rock and roll. Now some of you will not like this place- but I enjoyed it completely - service was fast and efficient. Folks were friendly and the drinks were reasonably priced. So if you are looking for a bar- with an old school vibe- good drinks where you can enjoy a cigarette or cigar without someone judging you, and friendly employees and customers- that's what you'll find here.

She smiled and shared many laughs with us. She was very knowledgeable about the place, background, food and drinks. I love love love that it's nonsmoking!! They are family friendly so next time we will bring our little ones. I'm not sure which days are what or when but they have a dj, karaoke, and line dancing. On each table they have a game you can play like scramble, tic tac toe, etc... Food and drinks were good. We had pizza and nachos. Nachos were smaller than expected. Definitely not shareable lol.. anyway nothing to really brag about there but the prices are pretty decent. I enjoyed myself so much talking with Keri and my husbae and playing games, that I kept forgetting to take pictures. I have a few to share. Come on out for date night, girls/guy night out or bring the whole crew out! I definitely recommend this place. And if you see Keri tell her I sent you!

Highly recommend the grilled lemon chicken - the green beans were cooked perfectly and the mashed had some small little lumps in them, just like mom made! Can't wait to try other menu items.

I do understand that they serve specialty cocktails, so maybe that's why everything took so long and we were in a large group.

I had to flag her down later for another drink, which I usually feel rude for doing.
