Overall everything was pretty standard bar food. The wrap with wing sauce took the prize. We enjoyed the shuttle drivers as they took great care of us on our way over to the game and shared a few laughs as well. I think this is a solid option for shuttle to and from events.

It's a large portion but does not come with enough cauliflower toasts. Of course you can pay for more but the proportion is off. The wings were also very good, a wide variety of sauce options and dry rubs. Also a large portion that could be shared. The smashed burger was good, the grilled onions on it were tasty. The fries with the burger and even the side of fries my friend got were small (not portion but size/cut). They were very small bites.

Their happy hour is pretty good. $5 mules, old fashioned, and some cheaper beers. Bottles of wine were half off. They were out of many of them because of that. I ordered the cubano and it was huge. I definitely only needed half of the sandwich and chips. We all agreed had we known the size we could have shared. The ranch chips were fantastic. I'd like to come back when they have a full menu.

Consistently busy over the years and for good reason. I've been here a few times and I've never been disappointed with the service or the food. It's a dark, cozy little restaurant bar but with so much character and history. Service is friendly and efficient. I love that the food I've ordered here has always exceeded my expectations with the seasonings and quality of ingredients used. Reasonably priced too! If you don't have a reservation, you may end up waiting for a table in the back area at a high top but it's a great opportunity to enjoy one of their great drinks in the meantime!

As visitors from out of state, this was the very first restaurant we visited and unfortunately it…read moreleft a terrible first impression. We quite literally came here straight from the airport. To make matters worse, we had not eaten anything substantial all day and had actually looked this restaurant up weeks before our trip while researching places to eat the infamous Wisconsin fish fry, so we were really looking forward to the experience. The experience started off poorly when our party was essentially scolded by the hostess for sitting at a table that apparently needed to be cleaned for the wait list. To make matters worse, the busser laughed and joked that we were "in trouble," to which I could only respond, "Sounds like it." Not exactly the welcoming atmosphere you'd hope for as a first time visitor. The fish fry was decent our tab came out to $150 for 5 people, but the service was absolutely subpar and our tip reflected that. We also had to send back two drink glasses because they were dirty one still had lipstick on it, and another had food stuck to the inside of the glass. Overall, this was a very disappointing dining experience. Between the unprofessional treatment, lackluster service, and cleanliness issues, I would not recommend stopping here. There are plenty of other restaurants worth trying instead.

We each ordered the Aji with chicken: I opted for a salad and husband went for the sandwich. Both were delish and super generous portion. The bread on the sandwich was delish.
