    Classic Dive Bar, It's good at what it is. Dark inside, dated decor, etc. Never had the food, just a couple beers here.

I called back and he said no he said or meant to say have a safe night.. safe sounds a lot different than shit and I'm not stupid. Not to mention the idiots working when my husband went to pick up the food, they were mad at him for picking up the food? First of all the host had their face buried in their phone and he couldn't get a response when he walked in so he went to the bar and someone greeted him finally after he was standing around like an idiot and when he told them the order name they threw their hands up with annoyance and roll their eyes and then went to get him or cold order that made all of us sick. We all got sick in the house. We got several different items and all of us ended up sick with indigestion. I called and got a colorful response let's say.. this place should be closed down and I'm calling the health department in the morning at a normal hour. They promised me a refund right before saying I have a shit night. Can you believe it? I can.. I can't believe they're okay with food poisoning children I mean it's one thing to take our money it's another thing to fucking know that you're poisoning people with bad food and then cuss at them after giving them an attitude for picking up the food they paid for.. close it down

    Drove by this place soooo many times and was always curious to how it looks inside. ITS ADORABLE!…read moreWent during a snow storm and it was beautiful with the fire place glaring, lights dimmed, sipping on an ice cold beer watching the storm? Yeah it was PERFECT! Plus the service was on point with friendly staff members. The chicken buffalo dip was tasty as heck. It wasn't oily like many dips and it just felt refreshing? If I can even use that term while eating a dip lol had the roast beef and it was delicious. The meat was tender in this gravy like sauce, the grilled veggies went well together. The turkey burger? Sorry but was pretty dried. Either they over cooked or added too much breadcrumbs? It wasn't very good but doable. I would def go back and check out other dishes or head to the opposite side for the bar. Fun, cozy, romantic scene happening here. Not bad at all!

    I do not enjoy writing bad reviews so let's start with the positive. The service did a good job…read more Kudos to them! Helpful without being overbearing. I also liked the pizza, I think it was called the Bee Sting? Nice flavor, would eat that again. Otherwise we did not enjoy our experience. We were seated underneath a vent that continuously sprayed water, at one point right into my food. No thanks. I ended up sampling the kids' macaroni and cheese, which was utterly bland. The salad portion was skimpy to boot. On the whole, we felt no need to return. Maybe you will have (or have already had) a better experience. But with so many options out there we will look elsewhere.

We were greeted right away by the one employee on staff, who was very attentive and pleasant. He was both the waiter and bartender. We ordered the smash burger as an appetizer since it's something I've never seen on a menu as an appetizer before. The smash burger itself was basically a standard double cheeseburger. The patties had a strange texture and didn't have much of a crust. There were also no pickles or house sauce, as the description said there would be. That being said the hand-cut fries that came with it were freshly fried and delicious. For dinner we got the gnocchi in spicy ragu and the pork chop Milanese. The gnocchi was delicious with the sauce but could have been hotter it unfortunately came out lukewarm. The pork chop Milanese was presented beautifully and had good flavor, but it felt like it was missing something (maybe a little more spice or citrus to complement the Asian slaw on top). Overall the service was great, but food was only good and extremly pricey for the portion sizes. I'm hoping the restaurant succeeds, and I'd like to go back and try some different dishes.

There were some people sitting outside for dinner and maybe three other tables inside full so it was not busy if you wanted to walk in for dinner it is possible but we had reservations. The decor aims for high end dining, they have an elegant bar area with some tables if you prefer to eat on that side. The hostess and servers were very attentive. The menu is very limited. They have a bunch of different special martini drinks, and plenty of wine selections, but the food menu is very limited. They have dinner specials to offer. My husband went with the burger, which was a very thick patty served with a brioche bun, cooked perfectly. The fries were just OK. They looked as if they were frozen fries just put in the oven. I went with the cod special over Seasonal corn. The corn was tasteless. The cod was cooked perfectly although it did lack a little bit of flavor and we shared the iceberg salad for an appetizer, which was good, but nothing special. The prices were reasonable we decided to pass up on the dessert and take a walk down the main Avenue in Westwood and find some ice cream . I believe it was the male owner that did stop by after we finish dinner to check on us. He was very pleasant.
