Went for dinner with a group of 4 on a Tuesday night about 5:30pm and were seated immediately in a…read morespacious comfortable booth. Nice and clean but a bit chilly with the AC; take a sweater. We all started with cocktails which were good, though a bit small for the price. Small glass, lots of ice. I ordered a ribeye medium rare with blue cheese add-on and a loaded baked potato. I was very pleased overall. It was cooked just right and was very tender. My baked potato had plenty of add ons; bacon cheese and sour cream. The mushroom soup was good. The small dinner rolls were outstanding; hot and crispy on the outside. Everyone else ordered the fillet, one rare and the others medium rare. All commented that their fillets were perfectly cooked and very tender. Our server was very pleasant and attentive throughout and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the meal. I'd call it a 4.5 stars but overall I went with 5 for the overall experience.

This was a rough night!! Restaurant is new and they have not yet worked out the kinks. Here's the…read moreplay by play: 7:00 arrived with reservation 7:16 table (boy at the host station asked if I got a notice that the table was ready; I wasn't told to watch for it. We were making eye contact for 15 minutes while waiting and were 3 feet away. The notice came within one minute of when he asked if I got it). 7:48 finally a server came and we ordered our food 8:00 salads finally arrived 8:02 butter was delivered 8:13 bread was delivered (noted that several new tables of diners who arrived after we did were given bread and butter immediately upon being seated) Water was empty but was never refilled. Salad and bread plates, dirty flatware and empty butter/salad dressing containers were all still sitting on the table after we finished our entrees. Server was assigned to 7 tables or more and one of those had 10 diners. She was slammed. Not really her fault. She's not likely cooking. Many new diners were seated after we ordered, then ate, paid their check and left before we even got our food. The restaurant needs to work on timing of entrees. The neighboring table ordered steaks and seafood. One man finished his steak before his lobster came. The server helper nearly dropped it on the floor. Luckily it flipped over and landed back on the plate. The woman then said she was still missing her scallops. There's clearly an organization issue with the kitchen staff. Entrees finally arrived at 8:34. Lo and behold, the server helper kept delivering food to tables to assist our server. Ranch ordered with the onion rings was missing. Luckily we saved some from the salad. Those were pretty good. Steak was a bit overcooked, and slightly dry/grainy. Salmon and green beans were good. We ate and left within 10 minutes of getting our food. We were just that tired and hungry. We just wanted to get out of there after being there almost two hours, mostly waiting. It's also nearly impossible to get a signal and there's no public WiFi. Asked to speak to the manager was when we paid our check. We were told she was "floating all over the place" so we didn't get an opportunity to speak to her without waiting again and that wasn't an option; the only choice was to leave this review. Bottom line: The food was pretty good, but we didn't order anything special or fancy and we did make a reservation and showed up on time. It shouldn't take two hours for a basic meal. It just isn't worth the painfully long wait time and inconsistent service. This place could be great if they could work out the timing and service issues. If things got to be streamlined and service was smooth and timely, this could be a 4-5 Star place. It's only been there a month or so. It might be best to wait a while to try it.

Quite sizable, it has tvs throughout with seating at the bar, high tops and tables. Solid beers on tap and a menu of what you expect at a bar-apps, burgers, wings, and sandwiches. Appreciate the fact they use never frozen beef for their (quite large) burgers and source local cheese. We started with some homemade mozzarella sticks wrapped in wonton wrappers. They were great and paired well with both the marinara and ranch sauces we ordered. The burgers we also ordered on point. With the option of pink or no pink, the burgers were chargrilled to order and as I mentioned above, substantial. Our bartender was great and checked in on us regularly. I'm not in Watertown much but wouldn't hesitate stopping in if ever back in the area.

Couldn't get the waitresses attention. After 45 minutes flagged her down to ask for our salads. She apologized. However, she spent most of the evening hanging out with friends at one table. Food took an hour and 20 minutes and was barely edible. The coleslaw was spoiled. The baked fish tasted like it had been microwaved. It was covered in rosemary and was tasteless. The grilled shrimp were excellent. The young workers (hostess and bus boy) were very attentive and friendly. Won't be back.

The portions were good, and despite others' reviews, we thought that the price points for the quality and the amount of food, were spot on. We were seated in a booth, which was very comfortable and the atmosphere was great. Lots of space for dining, as well as a large bar. There were just a few minor details--served water in a very cracked plastic tumbler that went unnoticed and quite a bit of dust and cobwebs on the light fixtures above the booths that prevent us from giving five stars. (Cool light fixtures, tho!) We'll be back when visiting the area, and believe this is definitely a try if you are in the area!

Everyone was super friendly and we received our orders in a timely manner. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is because of the prices. $20 for one piece fish dinner and a side seems like a lot to me! The wedge salad was HUGE and cost $10 to upgrade. It tasted great but could've used more dressing. The bread is a MUST order. For $5 you can't go wrong. If you add shrimp to your meal be warned they are GINORMOUS haha but tasty also. Overall, the vibes of the place were so great. I would definitely eat here again, and I would DEFINITELY get another dirty martini!! Also, stop by next door if you have time before or after your reservation. Awesome bar with welcoming people.
