We always get the same order, well I do at least because I absolutely love their chicken salad, I always ask for extra. I do love their fries over their sweet potato fries. I just feel like their sweet potato fries could be crispier. Their grilled cheese, burgers, salads, and everything else we have tried have been good. I can't remember a bad meal here. Service is good but they are busy, so sometimes I feel like staff can be short. Our server was a young gentlemen this time and he was very kind, thorough, and checked in on us the appropriate amount of times. The establishment itself is very farmhouse pub vibes, they offer single room bathrooms for men and women and they're always clean. They also have outdoor seating for those nice warmer days. This place stays packed for a reason.

We had our dogs, so we sat outside with the heaters on. We thought that was very accommodating. It's cold. We ordered the bronze baked chicken, debris po'boy, and the BLT w/tortilla soup.

The place was busy but the one bartender was very professional and managed the place well. The bar is very long. Plenty of seats at the bar along with some small tables in the back. TVs going to catch a game. The mix appeared to be mostly local. We may have been the only tourist there at the time. This isn't a "trendy" bar with a craft cocktail menu (at least I didn't see one). It is a local watering hole that is very casual. Everyone seemed friendly. It is in downtown so you have to find street parking or a garage for your car. They do take cash and plastic. Recommend.

Took my family back here again ... the service (again) was awful. Sat ourselves, the waitress said…read moreshe'd be right back before getting our our drink orders or anything and then proceeded to be gone for 10 minutes. When she got back we gave her our drink orders, our appetizer orders, and our entree orders. A few tables were sat after ours but handled by a different waitress and all of their appetizers and food came out before ours. Not a huge deal but aggravating. When the table that was sat after us and ordered way after us got their food I inquired with the waitress about our appetizer and she said it would be coming up soon. I feel like that most have been when she put our order in because about 10 minutes later we got our app and about 15 minutes after that we got our dinner. Overall we were there for 2 hours for what should have been less than an hour visit. If the food wasn't so good, I would have given up on this place a long time ago.

On Friday nights both areas are open and serve from the same menu. We decided to sit upstairs in the Tavern which we had to ourselves. We had a great waitress who shared all the specials, drinks, and went through the menu with us sharing favorites. We both decided on Fish and Chips as that's what we came for. Very good choice - the cod fillets were tender and well cooked and came with thick cut Parmesan French fries and smashed mint peas. We said "smashed mint peas"?? It's more of a garnish but delicious - and they are! Excellent experience. The ambiance is fun with lots of fun posters, objects, and a talking skeleton. We really enjoyed ourselves.

We started with the bacon wrapped jalapenos followed by Mofongo (tuna and shrimp) . My husband and I have eaten mofongo in Puerto Rico and found their version to be just as flavorful. Our meal was rounded out by a couple of cocktails crafted by Donivan, both expertly mixed. The restaurant had just relocated to a new location right on the waterfront with beautiful views and tables inside and out. You will not find a better place to dine. Run, don't walk for a great dining experience!

The only way to get in is on special occasions so inquire within or on the Sly Fox website. The staff were so wonderful and kind really catering to our every need. We started with Infused water and mimosas. The Raspberry mimosa was sweet and bubbly with the perfect amount of raspberry sorbet. The food was beautifully displayed in a buffet style. Such a great variety. Fresh fruit of all kinds, french toast, waffles and chicken, biscuits and gravy, bacon, sausage , scrabbled eggs, quiche, house potatoes, deviled eggs, and a charcuterie board . On the sweet side they had mini cinnamon rolls, danish, brownies, cookies and cupcakes with the galentine theme. They had chocolate and chocolate covered strawberries with pretty pink food grade glitter. Plenty to choose from and plenty to eat. We loved it. In order to get into the speakeasy it is tickets only. We are looking on their website for the special events. Can't wait to see what they do for another event style. This time is was a Galentine Brunch.

Access to the speakeasy is limited only through events held by the facility or booking private events. It's available for rental for company holiday parties, wedding receptions, engagement parties, birthdays, graduations, bridal showers, baby showers.. the opportunities seem endless! Who knows, maybe even a place to hold a small continuing education conference?? We attended the Galentine's Day brunch buffet. Tickets must be purchased ahead of time either in person or over the phone. It is a cozy, comfy space to dine and have drinks in a relaxed classy beautifully decorated establishment. The interior design emanates speakeasy. Every detail of design was carefully curated with the utmost intention. Staff was fantastic. Even though it was a brunch buffet, staff were attentive, friendly and frequently checked on all tables to address any needs or questions. The lovely staff were genuinely happy to take photos for us without any prompting. The flow of the buffet was perfect, and the food presentation was delightfully charming! There was a photo back drop available and the decor was so festive, and classy yet simple. The decor wasn't over the top , it was just the right amount of decorations to add pizzazz and celebrate with festive spirit. We all had a very enjoyable time celebrating Galentine's day! It was a wonderful event in an equally wonderful space. The music was on point, as well as the volume level. It was loud enough to enjoy the music, yet low enough that you could hold a conversation without screaming to hear each other. It was very peaceful and even if you don't choose a booth, the tables on the opposite side of the bar do provide some privacy due to the small partitions. The variety of food offered was just right (not overwhelmingly too many options and not too little options) and the food was tasty. It was an excellent first impression that left me excited to await what other fun events they will hold in the future.
