Of course, the food was not hot but it was warm. I don't understand the grits with the main course. It should have been dirty rice or if you are doing grits, pair it with shrimp or fish. I truly think price played a factor. This is my second event with them and I plan to do more.

I happen to hear about this ale house and since it was close to home, we gave it a shot and boy we are happy we did. My husband ordered the steak and frites, medium well and it was flavorful.

Service was top notch from greeting of the host to the bartenders who served us. Our bartender made me THE best espresso martini I ever had. We will definitely return and SOON!

Everything was clean, and it was neat to see memorabilia from the show. The wait wasn't too bad. We definitely recommend making a reservation though. The overall experience wasn't too chintzy/touristy and felt like a good value for the money. I thought it was going to be lesser quality and more expensive but that wasn't the case. If you're over 21, try some of their cocktails and the wine blood bag! They're fun and unique. There is a very cool gift shop below in the alley area. I highly recommend getting some merch. Everything was so cute and there was something for everyone.

This is a solid spot for patrons seeking a limited menu with a chill vibe. It is important to note…read morethey have a rotating, seasonal menu, which also means you cannot locate their present menu online nor can you rely on that to decide what you'll have when you're there. I speak from experience as the hanger steak my brother saw online and wanted (which made us pick this restaurant) was not available this particular evening. On to the better stuff: I really liked their welcoming vibe and relaxed atmosphere. Complimentary sourdough bread was immediately served as well as celebratory champagne for my little brother's birthday. We started with the hush puppies appetizer and the French onion dip, which came with a bag of Zappo's potato chips. For dinner, I ordered the four cheese pasta, which I was informed is made in-house and is leaving the menu very soon. My only complaint was the size of the wine pours. When I inquired, they stated the pour was 6 ounces. The kind surprise was a generous top off when they sensed my disappointment. Their kids' menu -which isn't printed - is a little limited. Kids can pick from grilled cheese, chicken skewers, and a hamburger. One kiddo had a hamburger and my son snacked on their shoestring fries. All other adults ordered burgers and everyone seemed to enjoy their dinner. One more complimentary surprise showed up near the end of dinner which was a miniature Keylime pie in celebration of my brother's bday. Back home, we have very few restaurants that offer so many complimentary items. That definitely sets this restaurant apart from others. Also, having a small menu means they likely give lots of attention to the entrees they serve. Definitely recommend City Pharmacy!

I enjoyed the coconut margarita I ordered. The prices were a bit high but warranted for the quality ingredients and portion sizes. I'm not in the area often but would definitely consider this a go-to spot when I am.

The windows are tinted and the open sign wasn't on, but as I got closer, I could see people inside, so I went for it. You order at the counter, and they call your name when it's ready. They also have some merch for sale, which adds to the vibe. I ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk and the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a croissant. Both hit the spot. Simple, fresh, and exactly what I wanted. The place itself is really cute, and the bathrooms are unisex and very clean (which I always notice). Staff was friendly and everything felt easy. It's also only about a 3-5-minute walk to the main square, but just far enough away that it feels a little calmer and not packed with tourists like some of the other coffee spots. Definitely a great place to stop if you want something a little more low-key.

I got a latte and two Americano for my man who was waiting at home. The coffee was fantastic and piping hot. The people at the counter seemed genuinely happy to be there, not just like they were putting it on for Customer Service or they were pleasant people. They also had a really beautiful outdoor area behind the shop with hammocks. Unfortunately, it was too cold to utilize it that day, but nice to know it's there! They had posted the following day that they were having an artisan market with live music and I was planning to go but we had to abandon our AirBnB unexpectedly due to a sewage pipe emergency under the street in front of the house.

Very nice inside! Unfortunately, that's where the "good" ends! The young lady at the front taking the orders, needs A LOT more training, seemed like it was her first day, but I doubt it. She's too timid and needs to learn to be more assertive and louder. I could hardly hear her. She didn't know enough about the menu items, and just really didn't seem like she knew what she was doing. Someone should have been up there with her if it indeed was her first day. I also asked for a receipt, she said it would be texted to me.... nope, never received it! My husband ordered the oxtail plate w/ rice, collard greens and cornbread. Now this is where tastebuds come into play. He LOVED it..said it tasted fresh. I, on the other hand wasn't impressed! Especially for the price we paid...close to $40, for the amount of food we DIDN'T get! For that price it shoud've been a few more oxtails on that plate!
