They had a lot of fun entree options, but It was lunch, so we just decided to split a few appetizers. We got the beef nachos and breaded mushrooms. The breaded mushrooms were actually really good, good quality of mushrooms (portobello), big, and homemade breading. The nachos were plentiful, but just okay. The chips were definitely not homemade and the beef was just a bit dry, I've definitely had better, but it was loaded with a nice amount of toppings and the salsa was good. Both were tons of food for us to split and be full to continue our journey home. Our server was attentive and even offered to accommodate my friends' light diet request despite us not going that route.

I usually don't leave reviews anywhere, but after being here and seeing on yelp negative reviews I…read morefigured I'd say something. Went here this last Friday during prime dinner hours, sat at the bar as the upstairs was rented and let me tell you our bartender was hustling! Our drinks were amazing and she even tweaked menu cocktails to fit what she thought we'd like more! (Even bought a bottle of the gin to take home with her cocktail recipe we liked the most). Personally I'm a bartender as well, so a lot of these reviews I wouldn't take seriously, most of the time when a customer says they've waited a half hour for drink in reality it's 10-15 minutes, and hand made and muddled cocktails take time!!! (sit at the bar once and watch how much it takes to serve a whole restaurant and you might be a little more understanding if there's ever a wait) Even when drinks were empty, we were acknowledged but it would be a minute but they would get to us as soon as possible. Overall great place, hope to get back before leaving for home.

Again; no one ever checked back and the burger never came. Spending nearly 150.00 on drinks and meals is a lot to pay for crappy, inattentive service and missing a meal. No apology and no acknowledgement at all.
