The staff were fun and engaging with fast service, considering we came in with a fairly large party. There were many tables throughout the joint, including bar seating and an upstairs which I did not check out. I also liked the open garage door setup, allowing patrons to wander in and out freely. I did not inquire about the eggs for sale, but perhaps I would next time - if I was going home straight after to refrigerate! The IPA I ordered was apparently popular, as most if not all the people in my group ordered the same. As an IPA fan I really enjoyed it. Refreshing on a hot day!

The tuna was fresh, flavorful, and overall the dish tasted great. My only critique is that there was hardly any quinoa. When I hear "quinoa bowl," I picture something more like a rice bowl where quinoa is the main base -- but this felt more like a salad with a small scoop of quinoa. Still good, just a little misleading name-wise. Drinks were solid, staff was nice and friendly, and service was smooth. Total came to $57.94, which felt a little pricey for what we ordered, but not outrageous for the area and waterfront location. Also worth noting: they are not pet-friendly inside, so keep that in mind if you're out with your pup. Overall -- great food and good drinks, just slightly pricey and the bowl name set different expectations.

However in their lineup was a pilsner alongside several IPAs and other options. Overall, it is a cool brewery with a comfortable atmosphere. Will be back to break into their other beers.

One of the biggest bonuses is the permanent food truck, Savoury Eats Kitchen, right outside. That deserves its own review, but let's just say having that kind of food right on hand makes the experience even better. Great atmosphere, wonderful beer, tasty food, and a lively location downtown.
