What a splendid place to find by chance. Cocktail bars are an uneven category that are usually…read moreoverglorified bars or wine bars that want a wider clientele. Not Anjou! A genuine cocktail bar dedicated to offering you a rotating menu of specialty drinks and mocktails, and willing to accommodate your custom requests as needed. Friendly and prompt service, pleasant atmosphere, everything a discerning customer could ask for for a few drinks waiting on a restaurant seat! I'm particularly fond of places that make mocktails a regular part of their service. What is effectively custom soda is a greatly undeserved area.

All I can say is WOW. We happened to stop by yesterday during their 8th anniversary celebration…read more I'd wanted to go for years, but they have very limited hours. Major oversight on my part. I will be making time in my schedule to go back. We ordered the small cheeseboard and added charcuterie. It contained their 3 main cheeses as well as small bits of fruit, nuts, and other goodies that were located with the cheeses that they would complement. We asked what type of meats came with the "charcuterie" option and we were told "whatever is on the slicer right now" but that they were all locally made- or at least regionally made. That works for me and both selections were delicious. We also bought the special chocolate chip/cheese cookies they had for the event and they were fantastic. What I really want to talk about is the cheese curds though. We bought some to take home (you can buy everything they use on the boards in their retail area too by the way). They're so flavorful and fresh. I'm going to make poutine with those and some fries from Heyday down the street and I expect great things. The space was clean and inviting and the service was amazing. Everyone was kind and knowledgeable about the offerings. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

We enjoyed a wine flight with the Sauvignon Blanc Clarendelle, the Rosé Minuty, and the Cabernet Montes Alpha.

Something that's nicer than a franchise restaurant, but not so fancy that you feel like you need to dress up? This place nailed it. The perfect place to go to a sit down dinner that feels really quaint and nice. The decor is very cozy and welcoming. Rustic with painted brick walls and wooden tables. Very inviting. Food was great. There was something for everyone. We had a vegetarian with us who had lots of options. I had a really great cheeseburger and tater tots. The only reason I am giving this place four stars instead of five is the service. The host (or greeter) was not welcoming at all. Seemed a little indifferent, borderline inconvenienced. The server was friendly, but certainly not five star worthy. Very informal, almost seemed tired. Didn't engage when we told her it was our first time here or when we told her we were celebrating. Way too casual and relaxed for this type of restaurant. Fix this piece of the equation and wow - we will be regulars!

Hostess and wait staff were really nice and timely, no waiting issue as others had mentioned. Had the s'mores espresso martini and hubby had the specialty old fashion, both were delicious! Food was good too! The pimento+biscuits, so yum! Poutine was good, gravy was a little sweet for me, fries were awesome. Whipped ricotta was just so-so though. Egg Benedict/poached dishes were well done, the Uova dish was good and unique. chicken and waffles were really good as was the burger (got it medium, was good decision).
