It was great and I look forward to getting it again next time. Last week I got the salmon and hubs got the filet. His filet was overcooked, but they were quick to fix it and the second was great. The salmon had a fantastic honey-ish coating that was perfectly crunchy - I loved it. The veggies that came with were also just right. I've recommended this to several other people who I'm sure would be happy with their visit too.

The restaurant is very open, and it is attached to Papa Joe's market. There's also a doughnut store in the same little area. I had the mushroom and goat cheese omelette, and I really liked that you could get a salad as a side; while I love potatoes, salad just seemed to fit with this kind of omelette. I got rye toast (which was really marble rye), and it came with homemade strawberry jam. Or maybe it was dressing. I liked it on the salad! The omelette was very good as well. I loved the fried onion rings that were on top. My sister had the chicken caprese sandwich, and she enjoyed it as well. I am glad we decided to try this place. It was very good!

We had some craft cocktails- the Pink Lady and the Pink Pedal. Both were tasty but I preferred the refreshing citrus in the pink pedal on a hot day. We ordered a charcuterie board w the whitefish dip for an appetizer and the beet salad and Mediterranean pizza for our meal. The board was just OK. Two types of cheese, two slices each; two types of meat; three slices of those. Honey mustard; jam; raisins and a few corn snacks. Not enough crackers (4) for what we had. The whitefish was already a $4 upcharge; and we asked for extra crackers, it was another $3 charge. Most folks don't eat whitefish dip straight so that was a miss in my opinion. A $24 appetizer is a lot. The beet salad was all arugula and pretty good with a tangy dressing. The pizza did not come with cheese; so that was another upcharge. And its topped with more tangy arugula so that's on us for not realizing how many greens we had ordered. The service was friendly and attentivefor the most part. We had hoped to order their cheesecake but the server got tied up with other tasks outside and we had a fixed time frame so by the time she came back we had to leave. Would I come back? Perhaps to sit at the bar and have some drinks and appetizers. I don't know that I would order meals again. Owners should pay attention to the nickle and diming as it does tarnish the experience. Pizzas by nature should come w cheese even if its optional. If you upcharge for dip on the board pay attention to what the patron might need w that additional item. $3 for some extra crackers to go w the dip is excessive.

As for what to eat, I HIGHLY recommend trying a "Boxty" if you haven't had one before--they are Irish potato pancakes with fillings. The corned beef one was delicious--the corned beef was very finely chopped and paired well with the garlic aioli!

They do have a lot of options for the filling here too, like grilled chicken, steak mushroom cheese (my 2nd choice, maybe next time), even grilled vegetable or cod! I am glad I stayed, I was actually in the process of walking out at about 10 pm because, even though the sign says seat yourself, there was no one who acknowledged or approached me at my booth for a good 10 minutes. I finally found the waiter seating a table at the outdoor patio, and I actually went up to him (with an apology for interrupting lol) and asked if he could come find me when he was done because I had been here a while! As my waiter, he was super nice and accomodating, so I don't know why he was not monitoring tables but, that is what I took away a star for. It is a dim sports bar but I like that there are 2 areas, there was live music in the bar area, and a separate quieter area on the other side. Now that the performance is over, the sound for the football game is in the bar area but there is no sound on the giant tv's in this area, which I totally appreciate! Over all I would stop by again if I'm in the area, but ignore the Seat Yourself sign and wander around until you find a server! PS Ummm just paid and the machine auto starts your tip option at 25%, with the other options being 22 and 20, so for a bar where a lot of people might be drunk checking out, that seems very sneaky and manipulative, I did not like that...

Lobby area is a bit cramped but has long seating and some high tops while you wait. Cannot really see inside the restaurant while you wait. The dining area has a ton of booths and a large impressive bar. Tall ceiling and airy calming colors. Our waitress was friendly and put up with our requests for more butter/jam/pop throughout our visit. She was attentive and checked on us a lot. Menu is big but not overwhelming - need to come back again to try something else. Got the biscuits as an app and they were amazing, Huge portions - warm and fluffy. But the butter/jam ratio to the biscuits were off - be sure to order extra. Southwest benedict is what I ordered and it was great. The egg was perfectly poached and ooey gooey. Again big portions. Food came out very fast. Waitress came over with a tablet and checked us out. That always feels awkward to me - the waitress lingering while I figure out in front of them how much to tip. She later warned us that we overstayed our welcome. She said when they have wait times - you need to leave after 90 minutes. I noticed later the bill indicated this but we could not see the lobby and the people all waiting either. She was nice about it and said her boss or someone told her to tell us to leave essentially. Kind of tacky. I get need to turn tables over especially when people are waiting. But still a little tacky. Will be back to try something new and be sure to set my stop watch for 90 minutes.

The next thing you notice as you round the corner and see that there's much more of the restaurant, is the smell of pine. Every surface - walls, floor, and ceiling - is made of pristine planks of pine. I feel like I've been camping, and I found an amazing spot among the pines. I ordered a cup of clam chowder. $8 seems like a bit much for a small cup at first, until you take your first taste. There's so much savory clam coming through with every spoonful. I took my time finishing the cup. My wife ordered the salmon salad, which also seemed to have a smallish portion, but which made up for it with quality. That seems to be the theme here. I'm glad I had heard about this one before, otherwise I would never have thought to order the knuckle sandwich. It's nothing at all like what the name suggests (I.e. large amounts of ham and steak); it's actually lobster. No: actual lobster. Not that imposter they serve at some places. It's like a lobster roll on a buttery grilled cheese sandwich. I wanted the experience to last with this amazing sandwich. I can't wait until I get to enjoy another amazing meal with the smell of pine in the air.
