I went there with my parents the last time I visited. It's probably closer to a four-star for me,…read morebut it was the best place in town. I'm gluten free and the burger was good (the bun was great!), if ever-so-slightly too juicy. At first, the menu felt incomplete to me, only really having sandwiches. But the burger menu manages to feel special enough to justify this. The ambiance was delightful, but could use a little polish. They don't have good noise control because the hard ceilings and the hard floor reflect all the sound at the patrons. It's not terrible, but it's a detractor. The tables and booths are comfortable, but feel just a tad cheap. Not bad, but certainly room for improvement. And the back patio is a bit plain, you feel like you're missing out if you eat there. They should add some decorations, maybe a mural or something. The service was wonderful. It feels "Mom and Pop," but also like a well-oiled machine. It's close to being a landmark restaurant, but could use that final bit of attention to detail. So: not perfect, but the best place in town.

The wings were a lil salty for my taste and had to eat them with a side of their garlic dip which I love! Ordered a drink with Tamarindo Smirnoff. It was delicious! Since it was flavored vodka you really couldn't taste the alcohol on that one. They have karaoke Fridays so it was cool to hear ppl sing. The speakers were a bit loud ( reminded me of a club). Overall, good place to hang out.

I've never had a bad experience with the staff, though my friends and I usually sit at the bar. I used to get the Cuban on the pretzel roll back in the day but sadly the pretzel roll went away then so did the Cuban. One constant I've almost always have had is their Parmesan fries, they've always been a highlight either as a side to a burger or as an appetizer. Their version is easily some of the best fries I've ever had. The dipping sauce is on point, I recommend getting two of them. Something that has fallen off in recent years and I keep forgetting that fact, is their cheese wontons. I first fell in love with cheese wontons at Irish Democrat many moons ago and I've been chasing them ever since. They were good here once but not anymore - too much CRUNCHY wonton wrap and not enough cheese. People don't eat wontons for the wrapper, they go for the filling, if they didn't, that would be like going to Paris to see the frame and not the Mona Lisa. For these, the dipping sauce is always the best part of the dish. Overall it was a positive experience as usual. I will return.

However, I was surprised on one dish for missing the mark this round unfortunately. For only being here once though and they change up their menu seasonal, I'm hopeful their 'too salty' dishes are few and far between. The service was good as they were knowledgeable on menu items. The ambiance was moody. They also have a wonderful bar area with a large upscale selection of drinks. Bathrooms were nice and it's great to view the kitchen working away in the back area. Now for more food details. The group had the 5 course offering. Highly recommend the steak tartar as it was the groups favorite - "the Midwest's poke bowl" . The least favorite was the scallop dish as it was way too salty it overpowered the flavor profile and was bitter. The agnolotti pasta, pork belly, and banana assortment dessert were delectable.
