So maybe just a little less or use roasted cooked garlic that would be great.

Perfectly prepared as usual and served by an appropriately attentive staff, AND as has been their practice imodified incredibly well to my food allergy needs. This evening I had the salmon and my wife had the lamb chop appetizer and the duck (which is not, in any way "wierd" as described above but, rather, delicious). Each of these dishes was prepared to perfection and beautifully presented. We can't wait to go back again.

Dinner with a group. Ordered the seared Yellowfin Tuna with fries and a vegetable. The tuna was…read moredry, hard, and tasteless. Probably not bad if you were a cat. The fries were very good. When asked if I liked the tuna, I responded "no". The waitress offered to take it off the check, which I thought was the right thing to do. When I got home I saw two charges on my credit card. One was for the amount I signed for in the restaurant which included the removal of the tuna from the bill. HOWEVER, there was a second charge on my card for what suspiciously looked to be the amount of the tuna item that was supposedly removed from the bill. Still checking on it, but doesn't look to be quite what I agreed to. I certainly wouldn't recommend the tuna, and would caution you to double check your credit card statement after dining at his place. Others seemed to enjoy their food, but this is just my experience.

I really enjoy this place. The staff are great. That being said, I wouldn't come here expecting…read morefine dining. It's a bar with bar food that is hit and miss. In their defense, everyone is trying to figure out the world post Covid (not that we are completely post Covid but we're getting there) so I'll keep supporting them while they figure it out. I did see a review commenting on the pricey drinks. That is absolutely correct. For downtown Pittston, the drinks are quite expensive. I'd expect this in center city Philadelphia but not in Pittston. It's still absolutely worth patronizing. The outside deck is great.

Good thing I'm not a vegetarian I guess. Chicken bites are ... edible. The sauce is nice but the meat itself tastes like air and dry-chewy. Underwhelmed for sure. Waiter is nice though, seems. Not many people in the patio yet but I don't think I'll be staying much longer once I send this rubber appetizer back. If you think you're coming for anything "tomato" special please be advised it does NOT exist.

I added a little salt and hot pepper flakes. The bill wasn't too bad. All in all I had a good experience.

The last time I visited, I was already inside, stepped out briefly to make a phone call, and was refused re-entry while several men walked right in without issue. Bonus points to the bouncer for telling my friends, "Your parents should be very proud of who they raised," because they had the audacity to point out that leaving a woman outside alone at night with no coat wasn't exactly appropriate. Still one of the most bizarre customer service experiences I've ever had. It's impressive how one employee can make people swear they'll never come back. Nothing says "great security staff" like refusing re-entry to a woman who was already inside while continuing to wave men through the door. Absolute 0/10. I left with no confidence that customer safety or basic respect was a priority.

Got there at about 6 PM Friday evening decided to sit in the bar area because there was live entertainment starting at 7. We waited a few minutes before a bartender / waitress came into the bar side and placed a drink order and got some menus. I'd like to review the service, but it was non-existent. We sat at the bar with our drinks and menus for about 35-40 minutes and no one stopped back to take our order. In fact there was no staff member covering the bar area despite that fact that it was dinner time on a Friday evening with entertainment scheduled to begin within the hour. The owner, who had come into the bar area 3 or 4 times from the dining area / back room, was told by one of the regulars that we were first timers at the establishment. Instead of welcoming us or asking if we were waited on or had placed an order, he walked up to the taps right next to where we were sitting, filled a drink, looked up at the TV and never uttered a word to us or looked in our direction. He left the bar area and went back into the dining area. That's the last we saw of him. As for the bartender / waitress, she hadn't been back since we got our drinks. We waited a few more minutes, finished our drinks and since there was no one around to ask for our tab, we used the menu and calculated what we owed for our drinks. Dropped cash on the bar and left. First time, last time I'll ever set foot in there. Think we left a tip?? BTW, the place wasn't busy. There were no more than 6-8 cars in the parking lot when we left for Hops & Barleys. H & B was an exceptional experience and we will be returning.
