Total came out to approximately $60, not including tip. What's hot - Quality. Delicious. Hubby really liked their sweet potato fries. Slightly crispy on the outside, but soft and chewy on the inside. My portobello mushroom sandwich was delicious. Everything was well seasoned and the vegan cheese melted nicely with everything, which added to the flavor. Their coleslaw is listed on the menu as vinegar based, which it was and I enjoyed. Definitely a vinegar kick, but not overly so. We really enjoyed their chili cheese tots, which had a good amount of toppings, and was served warm. - Menu. Very good variety, especially vegan options. Dessert menu has vegan options, as well. - Price. Good value for money. It can cost less than $20 per person, unless you add drinks, appetizers, and/or dessert. - Service. Very good. Reliable and dependable. - Ambiance. Pretty cool that they have pinball games, video games, and a few board games and card games to play to keep you occupied. Be aware their pinball games and video games only take quarters, so you need cash. They have seating for groups of 2 up to 6. They also have scheduled events for the public, Iike trivia night. That they're open to all parts of the community, like LGBTQ, is visible and appreciated. - Parking. There are a few parking spaces in front of the restaurant. There's a larger parking lot behind the restaurant, which is helpful. What's not - Lighting. Indoor lighting is not the best, especially later in the day and when they have their curtains drawn. - Outdoor seating. On the one hand, it's nice to have outdoor seating. On the other hand, they have a sign that appears to indicate outdoor seating is self-serve, which can be inconvenient. Final answer Worth returning.

While the restaurant itself looked great and service was nice, I thought the food itself was just ok. There were definitely some good dishes like their ribs, homemade ricotta and tuna tartare.

We headed back to the restaurant and started with the Pink Grouse cocktail to continue the good vibes. I would definitely recommend it if you like vodka based cocktails. Let's talk menu. So there were several good options including a vegan and vegetarian, plus they were amenable to holding the blue cheese on the salad (allergy) which I appreciated. They separate it by starters and sharing optional entrees. We decided for 3 of us to go with 3 starters and 2 entrees. Starters: we ordered the bread, cured beef and salad. Y'all there were 3 tiny slices of bread and butter for like $4. Not okay. The cured beef has 5 tiny slices of meat for like $13. Not okay. The salad was the most generous, but still not huge at $14 considering they know it will be shared; I will say it was my favorite of the starters flavor wise and would order it again though. So as you can see, not impressed. Main: we decided on the lentil ragu ($22) and gnocchi with pork ragu ($26). Both were on point. I would happily order either again, probably opting for the lentil out of preference. The portion was okay, though again for calling it shareable I thought it was a bit small. Service: I respect that the server took our request for more time, but she was not attentive or following up on us for refills. I ordered a glass of port for dessert (no go on the dairy meant no options...) and I didn't get it until after my friends had finished their dessert. Not cool. So I guess I'm feeling generous with my score because I was in good company and isn't that half the point of eating out?

Let me tell you, it was an easy, "yes!" after I had the Truffle Mushroom Ragout. Everything we tried was delicious. The ambiance of the main dining area is wood-forward without sliding into rustic, and the lighting and bar feel cozy and familiar. For the rehearsal dinner, we were in the Wine Room. It was a squeeze, but we were so grateful they were able to accommodate our large group with some mobility issues. Our servers were 3 awesome guys: Craig, Matt, and ?? They truly felt like a part of our crew by the end of the night. They were so fantastic! For the Welcome Party, we were upstairs and had two of the rooms. The lighting is so nice and it was great to have the option to go out on the balcony. The Local knocked it out of the park for our event, and we would highly recommend!

There are several pool tables (6, I believe), and a nice stage. We go there a couple of times a week, Wednesday night for Karaoke, and for the bands on the weekends. The karaoke host is a little edgy sometimes, but he's funny and you never know what he will say next. He is quite unique and entertaining. That man runs a tight ship and keeps the show interesting! He definitely keeps it real. In the middle of karaoke, there is a dance break that is always on fire. He gets the whole crowd dancing and singing. One night there was a dance break and all these ladies were having a twerk contest on the stage, then right after the twerking when he went back to karaoke, the host got up and sang Alladin with someone he picked out of the audience, and the whole room sang along. Maybe you had to be there, but it was epic! He creates a fun and funny vibe, making a few colorful jokes here and there, so beware. It's certainly not rated PG! You just never know what he's going to say. The sound system is one of the best I've heard in town, and there are 3 TV screens for karaoke. They have 4 wireless microphones that sound great when people are singing, and the stage is large and easy to view from most vantage points in the bar. We like watching the KJ adjust the volumes and settings for each individual singer. You can tell that he takes pride in getting the sound right. If it's Wednesday, we are at Rapture for Karaoke! If we get there early enough on Wednesday, we have dinner. The food is great and the portions are large. The nachos are our goto meal and they are awesome! (The meat is pulled pork instead of hamburger.) My husband and I share a plate of nachos and are stuffed when we finish. We've also had several others of their dishes. They have a charred romain salad that is very tasty and unusual, it's one of our favorites, and you can add meat like steak or chicken or tuna steak. The chicken sandwich is also another favorite, and also the fried brussle sprouts. The wait staff is friendly and they do a good job. The restaurant and tables are always clean. We LOVE the Wednesday night bartenders! They are so fast and they are actually fun to watch how they can serve so many people at once, making multiple drinks at a time for multiple parties. They obviously love their jobs and are clearly having fun doing it. I'd recommend Rapture for a fun night in the middle of the week for karaoke. There are a lot of good singers that are there every week, and the host is an amazing singer too. If you like playing pool, good balanced drinks, and a cool 90's sort of groovy vibe, you can't go wrong at Rapture on Wednesday. The bands are often really great, too. Usually on the weekends the live bands are there. There is one band where the lead singer plays a horn, and he is really cool to watch and he engages the audience. Sometimes they just jam and make up new music on the spot! It's just a good bar to hang out at, with plenty of good people, action, good vibes and entertainment. They also have good security and check everyone coming in for weapons, so we feel safe there.

The host has made rude remarks and comments to us when signing up, as well as to other people. It didn't feel like a place that we could have fun at -- for example, I remember the last time we were there, the host was YELLING at everyone about how many times we could sign up to sing, and if your name wasn't PERFECT spelling then they would not allow you to do so. Not only did he yell, but he also humiliated these girls in front of everyone during his 5 minute rant. That made me and my friends realize we're not coming back, because it clearly made those girls uncomfortable + the audience in shock. Other than the karaoke experience, this place is very nice and I do recommend it. Sadly, I don't think I will be returning here at night / bar vibes (regardless of karaoke) for these reasons.
