Fantastic local craft kitchen! Reservations strongly recommended and completely worth the effort…read more Met some friends for a late Saturday afternoon lunch and we snacked on multiple options. Cocktails were lovely and unique. Seating was comfortable and the atmosphere was both quaint and open as the room was filled with sunlight but we felt like we had our own corner to enjoy. Staff was friendly and Chef stopped by to make sure we loved our Buttertarts and bubbles! These were great Buttertarts made my a Canadian

We stopped in last Friday (01/09/26) after having a mediocre experience on our last visit, which…read morewas approximately a year ago. I still feel the same way about the place. This is one of those unfortunate instances where I wish I could give a 3.5* rating. Everything was ok, but definitely not great. The place is loud, and way too bright, especially for an intimate experience after 8:30pm or so. We would have loved to stick around for another couple cocktails, if the cocktails and ambience were good, they weren't. The "craft cocktail" ol' fashioned was improperly garnished w/ a whole 1/4 of an orange slice, instead of the peel, it was improperly essenced, and had an improper amount of simple syrup. It was essentially a shot of bourbon with a cherry and an orange peel. Tasted terrible. The drink lacked all of the taste and trappings of the advertised craft "burnt sugar" old fashioned. Additionally, they use a 1/2 of an ice ball, which would not have been offensive, if the rest of the drink was up to par, but as it was, the cocktail seemed cheap and off-putting. 2.0/10 My date ordered a "figgy sweater," a citrusy cocktail with vodka, also off of the "craft cocktails" menu. Her drink had the opposite problem. It tasted like a lemonade with no alcohol at all, or watered down alcohol. She's a fairly lightweight that does not like strong drinks, gets tipsy off of two, and she complained throughout its consumption that the drink seemed weak and not worth ordering another. 2.0/10 We were both interested in another cocktail, but due to the loud nature of the place, the over abundance of light, and the poorly crafted cocktails, we drove to another establishment for our second round. Food ordered: Seafood Chowder - Great job, delicious, ample seafood throughout 9.5/10 Brisket Poutine - Good but it lacked cheese curds and gravy. 7.0/10 Beef tenderloin tips - terrible... the dish came out cold, we ordered the GF option, and the bread substitute was gross. The dish was overly salty, and the beef was way, way over cooked; not even medium well, most of it was well done, and tough; this was $30 wasted, we barely touched it and it's still in the fridge two days later. I'll likely throw it out. 2.0/10 Chicken Fried Lobster - nice dish, I hated the dill, but my date licked it. The dill aside, it was delicious; nice presentation, great tasting waffle, w/ well favored garnishes. However, the dish was barely warm when it came out, the ricotta/cream soaked into the waffle, and it was soggy. If it came out of the kitchen promptly it would have likely been better. 7.0/10 I'd consider ordering the chicken fried waffle again, but bad cocktails will likely keep me away. It's tough to pay $30+ in bad cocktails to accompany a $100+ meal. I'd strongly suggest turning down the lights after 8:30pm or so, and installing some noise canceling/light panels to bring the ceiling height down, quiet the place down some, and make it seem more intimate. The two tables opposite the the kitchen, in the damn hallway to the bathroom, should either be gotten rid of, made into high-tops, or install a lower counter-service along that wall for a "chef's experience." Those tables absolutely suck. We sat at them at our first visit, they tried to sit us there for our 2nd visit, but moved us after our objection. I laughed a bit throughout our meal as the people that were subsequently seated at those tables complained during their meal of the constant bumps, and interruptions that come with the territory. Finally, our waitress did a great job. The food runner was late on a couple of our dishes, resulting in cold food, but the waitress' service seemed great.

Weird basement cocktail bar in a barber shop. Much like the two or three other cocktail bars in…read morethis town, they offer custom drinks and high prices. Trying pretty hard to be this upper class cocktail bar with guys in black suits and earpieces for a bar the size of a house basement. It's a weird set up; there's a glass separator between the hair washing stations and the actual bar; and they house their DJ behind the glass as well, blasting music at a "yell to talk" level, which gets annoying. They only offer four beers as well, pushing the cocktail menu. Could use a few more normal domestic options besides Stella, Modelo, Sam Adam's, and 2 hearted. They offer bottle service and I saw a birthday bottle being presented like it's Vegas- bubble guns and sparklers... it was pretty stupid. Gotta figure out if your a cocktail bar or a club. Pick a persona. Overall wasn't impressed with the ambiance or the offerings. Would I return? Yeah I think so. But I don't think I'd make a night of the place. Maybe a drink or two before heading out elsewhere. Then again I'm not a clubber and felt like I was a bit too old to be here at the age of 43.

Everything tasted super fresh and the menu leans more "snacky" in the best possible way -- perfect little plates that are clearly meant to pair with wine. We ordered a few things for the table and it felt like the kind of place where you just keep ordering one more thing because everything sounds good. Nothing heavy, just really well done bites that let the wine shine. Speaking of wine, the selection is awesome. It's not the usual predictable restaurant list. There are some really interesting bottles and styles on there, which makes it fun if you actually enjoy trying different wines instead of just defaulting to the same thing every time. Service was great too. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming, and you can tell the owners are really hands-on and working hard to make the place special. That always makes a difference. And the ambiance... chef's kiss. Moody lighting, cozy, stylish but not pretentious. Just good vibes all around. It's the kind of spot you want to linger at with friends and a second bottle of wine. Already planning my next visit :)

Now, even better for me is that it's also a brewery known as Belching Monk. Being my first time here, I did a flight of all their beers, which gave me a nice sampling of all their choices. While the selection was very standard for most breweries, you have you amber, your stout, your IPA etc., one thing that stood out to me was how perfect each beer was. There wasn't a lot of nonsense, and these were all just good, easy drinking beers for the most part in the 5-6% ABV range. I noticed that they are now doing some game watches along with trivia, euchre etc and I am actually looking forward to making this a regular spot. Great job to the team!

The restaurant was very loud which made it difficult to converse across the table. The food we had (fish tacos with black beans and rice on the side and street tacos with the sides) were both very good, as were the Expresso Martinis. Our server Reilly W was super friendly and checked on us regularly to make sure we were happy and taken care of. Price-wise for 2 drinks and 2 fish tacos, before the tip it came to just under $47, so not cheap. I definitely would like to try it again maybe when it wasn't a busy Fri. night, as it was good overall.
