Walking in you'll either be greeted and asked how many to be seated and taken to a table OR immediately and blatantly be told they aren't seating any more people for the remainder of the evening despite it being well over an hour or two before closing time. Most of the staff are otherwise friendly, but attentive service seems to be hit or miss; they can easily and obviously become overwhelmed or agitated, even despite not having a big crowd. We've seen the cooks and other staff out front of the establishment smoking, which isn't a great look in and of itself, especially having witnessed the staff telling incomers that they can't be seated or that food orders will take a significant amount of time to be prepared. Otherwise the food is very good and decently priced, the eating areas and bathrooms are clean.

We were there on a warm summer evening and dined outside where the classic downtown buildings…read moreprovided shade for the setting sun. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We ordered drinks and two special appetizers, shrimp in a spicy cream sauce and pork belly bits with diced mango. Both were delicious. For our mains, we chose: Sassy Chicken Thighs and Brown Sugar Brined Pork Chop. The chicken thighs melted in my mouth. We spoke at length with the manager after our dinner and tried to guess the ingredients in the outstanding sauces. The sassy sauce had in addition to the honey and Dijon, some cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin. Not too spicy, just enough zip to make it interesting. The pork chop was also amazing. Tender and juicy with a cherry balsamic glaze. We would definitely recommend a visit and plan to return the next time we're in town.

The menu was several pages but only one page with food, drinks were the remainder. We got the dipper appetizer and I had the Sassy Chicken Thighs. Both were good and the thigh was boneless. My wife had the loaded potato salad, asparagus, and broccoli which she enjoyed. My son had the Steak Sliders with the potato salad which he really enjoyed. I suppose when the chef can master a menu there's no need for multiple pages. I misjudged and would definitely come back if I'm in town again.

We came here while in town for graduation at Illinois State University. While on the outside it is…read moreunassuming, the inside reveals a clean, large dining room that feels upscale. We had a reservation so we were seated promptly at a large table in its own little alcove in the back. While the place was busy, we could chat comfortably with one another and felt adequately separate from other tables. The menu has a bit of everything, so everyone should be able to find something they like on it. We started with cocktails, mozzarella sticks, and pretzel bites. The cocktails were good but I could've used less sweetness in mine. The mozzarella sticks and pretzels bites were standard, which means they were great as usual. For a group of 5 of us, an order of each was enough to hold us over until the main meal. I personally got the fish sandwich for my dinner with fries. The fish was great and large enough that it hung over the sides of the bun. My only complaint about the sandwich was the lack of tartar sauce on it. The cook must have just added the smallest dash, as the only sign it was there was a little spot of discoloration on the bun. The fish was good but the sandwich would have been better with more moisture from that tartar. The fries it came with were standard shoe string fries. Nothing special but hit the spot all the same. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their meals as well and we left comfortably full with no leftovers. Overall the meal came at a good pace, the atmosphere was nice, and the prices were reasonably. If in town again we would come back here.

Outside- yes, it used to be a pretty rough bar but was taken over and made into a great tavern. The burgers coming out on brioche grilled buns looked amazing! Wasn't too hungry so went with pick two on the apps. What I liked? The pick two isn't limited.. like they tell you which couple items you can pick. That's small but greatly appreciated bonus. Went with the clam strips (good) and the house battered mushroom slices. And get with their house made ranch! In this cold weather, they also have a great fireplace in the middle, so wherever you sit, you're getting some heat. Looking forward to coming back for dinner!
