Loved this dog bar experience! We went on a dreary Sunday morning for brunch…read more We decided last minute to bring our Cavapoo and had never been before so he wasn't registered. It said online it could take a couple days to get approved , but we had no problems just bringing him and his vaccinations. They seem strict about seeing vaccination history so I knew he would be safe and not get sick from other dogs! The check in process was quick and easy! Since it was not the best weather wise, it was only us and one other group there, but a friend said it does get crowded but never too crowded! They had a ton of picnic tables outside and beach volleyball courts. They have 2 sections outside, one is off leash and one is on leash. Inside is also on leash, so some options there! The bar is accessible no matter what section you are in, and they had a full bar. There were also some TVs inside with sports on. The facility seemed SO clean for a dog bar, I was impressed by that. The bartenders were also SO nice asking about our dog and his breed and making sure we had everything we needed. The facility seemed secure with lots of doors and magnetic locks so no dogs could escape. They did have brunch and it was delicious!!! I got the avacado toast. The egg was a tad salty but still very good! I would definitely go back!

One downside was learning that pets are not allowed inside--even though they don't serve food--which is always a bit of a letdown for us. That said, Luna was welcome on the outdoor patio... unfortunately, it was about 20 degrees outside. We didn't let the cold ruin the experience, though. They have patio heaters and warm drinks available, which helped a lot. We grabbed comfy outdoor chairs right next to the Christmas tree, and the setting was really nice, especially with the water view just steps away. It never got overly busy, but there was a steady flow of people coming and going, which gave it a relaxed, lively feel without being crowded. We both ordered the Hardywood Gingerbread Stout (9.2% ABV), which was their only holiday beer available at the time--they mentioned they had another seasonal option but had already sold out. The beer was pretty good, though definitely strong. We actually left to check out the only other bar in town, but it turned out to be closed, so we circled back to The River Room for another round. Two gingerbread stouts came out to $14 total which felt very reasonable. They do charge a small membership fee (around $1) since it's a private club, and we were told that fee goes toward animal conservation, which is a nice bonus. Overall, despite the cold and the indoor pet restriction, we really enjoyed the ambiance, holiday decor, and relaxed vibe--and would definitely stop back again when the weather is warmer.

Our waiter was very friendly, constantly checking on us and keeping our drinks refilled. We ordered the lettuce wraps, Korean BBQ wings, grilled shrimp, filet mignon, spare ribs, and crème brûlée. Everything had great taste and flavor. The Korean BBQ wings and grilled shrimp had a really nice kick to them. Our bill came to about $130 for all the food (we only drank water), which felt fair for the quality and amount we ordered. You should definitely give it a try--we'll definitely be back!

I was so excited to try this new spot, and it was such a let down…read more The space itself is nice! Love the layout and the exposed brick, and how there's an upstairs space. The service was fine but our server was frazzled. It seemed they were light staffed, and it took a while to get our order and our drinks (which we could see sitting in the well). The food- the appetizers- they were great! Would eat the shrimp, crab dip and Brussels again. Shrimp were perfectly cooked and seasoned, as were the Brussels. The entrees - not so much. Essentially everyone was eating raw, cold meat. Our one friend said the short rib was fine, but needed salt. Everyone else got some type of steak that was woefully underdone (as in we ordered medium, and got it flash seared). One friend described it as just chewy, raw meat. We also got a side of asparagus, and they were the saddest stalks I had ever seen - pale and mushy - and maybe 6 stalks for $8 - not worth it. After the food came, we couldn't find our server, but there was also a wedding party coming in to the upper space. Overall, I think they bit off more than they could chew that evening, and we were left chewing on undercooked meat and sad sides.

Great service and perhaps better than we would have gotten in regular seating. Had the Caprese salad and the Veggie Patch pizza. Both were great but next time we think we'll get a pizza with pepperoni or sausage. Other than the (too) large garlic chunks the veggie was missing just a little something. I wouldn't say it was bland but it just needed something more.

It's almost like a check-out and find a seat type of place (I'm not sure if that's 100% how it's designed since there was a party when I went, and I just sat at the bar) but it didn't seem like they had service at tables just at the bar itself.

This time, I ended up at The Wine Shop just down the way and it turned out to be a great second option, the kind of place that feels immediately comfortable even when you're showing up solo with time to fill. It was pretty busy for a Sunday afternoon, but I found a seat at the bar where I was warmly greeted and with a big glass of water set down before I even had to ask. I ordered a glass of the Malbec with an Argentina label and paired it with the pimento cheese that arrives bubbling in a skillet alongside a huge pile of pita wedges that could easily feed two people if you were so inclined. The wine was absolutely excellent, the cheese was hot and spicy in all the right ways, and before I knew it, my phone buzzed with the text that Mrs. K. was ready to be picked up. We'll be back to Ulta soon enough and when that happens, I'll be right here at The Wine Shop, settling in and waiting it out with no complaints at all.

We were very disappointed in the service here. The only thing we ordered was a wine bottle for $36…read more Our waitress came over, popped it open, and spilled about half the bottle. It was moscotto and looked like it had been shaken because it continually overflowed the bottle, so much so she put it in the ice box to contain it. There was wine on the table, floor, and (of course) the ice box. All she said was "That never happens." No apology, no offer to replace the bottle (we lost at least a glass and a half of wine), and no discount. I decided not to ask for manager purely because we were with friends and I didn't want this to become the "focus." On top of this, however, service was generally bad. We didn't order food, but it took about 10 minutes for our friends to have their order taken, another 20 for food to come out, another 10 for one person's food to arrive (she had a pizza that should've cooked the quickest), an extended period for the offer of the check and grabbing our cards. The only positive is the food seems good (based off of our friends), but that's it. I personally would never reccomend this establishment due to the lack of courtesy and attentiveness.
