If you're a seafood lover, they do a great job with their seafood dishes. The table next to us ordered shepherds pie and it looked and smelled amazing, I could hear them raving about it. We started with the seafood stuffed mushrooms, and we're starving so forget to take a picture. The portion was generous and plenty for 2-3 people to share. I ordered the seafood boil which was a special and it was so flavorful, loaded with garlic and a side of drawn butter. My husband ordered the seafood fra diavolo, it was loaded with seafood and had a very good sauce.

The food absolutely delivered. The chicken wings had that perfect crunch in every bite, and everything we ordered was on point, the pasta lovers (chicken and shrimp over penne), the chicken stack with eggplant, and the wings were all excellent. What stood out just as much was the service. Even though the place was packed, it still felt cozy, and the staff never missed a beat. Drinks were never empty, and you could tell the team is well-trained and dialed in. The owner was right there in the mix, delivering food, making drinks, and greeting customers. That kind of presence says a lot about a place. Nice touch on the way out too, being thanked for coming. It's simple, but it sticks. Definitely a spot worth going back to! PS don't skip dessert!

Soft drinks and water for the non-drinkers. Started with Pretzel and Cheese dip and a 10 piece wings with Apple BBQ sauce. Yum... Entree's ordered were a medium rare hamburger with fries (grandson) and Chicken sandwich with the tuna mac salad (SIL). Both were disappointed as both buns were dry and burger was too well done for the grandson, however the chicken and sides were excellent. Crispy and hot fries, tuna mac salad was really good. Servicing staff was very attentive in checking with us for more drinks, was everything ok , just very accommodating. Overall- Nice dinner.

This is pretty much my local neighborhood pub…read more I've been going in here pretty frequently since I moved back to the area in July. It's a great place to grab some food with friends. It can get a little bit loud, especially during musical performances or trivia night. There are two sides to the restaurant one is more of a dining room and the other is the bar. I find myself more comfortable in the bar area most of the time. They also have outdoor seating during the summer and warmer weather. The bartenders are friendly and very capable. The weighted staff has all been very sweet. The food is solid and good and filling. I'd like to especially call out the fries and burgers. The wings I just had were a little bit dry but still very good. (I wasn't aware that it was a dry rub.) I'll be back again! And next time I promise I'll take some pictures.

The menu is limited but the apps are generous and can be shared w/ many as a meal. We had Zapiekankis - a sliced in half, baked baguette w/ Kielbasa & pickles ($15) and another one cherry tomatoes($14). Both are unique & excellent. We took home one half of each.
