My friends and I came in for a drink to end our evening and found this place to be a little quirky but very homey. We sat in the area with the couch, loveseat and chairs. There is other seating available with high stools and tables. We had three people check in us during our visit so we were well cared for. We didn't order food as we had already eaten. It's drink menu has about 50 martinis listed. This place has a laidback feel to it, very enjoyable. The martinis come out just slow enough to notice but not overly slow. Enjoyed our experience, we will return.

I ordered a Margarita. It was excellent! Great taste and nice presentation. My wife gota a glass of wine from their decent wine list, and my brother got a very reasonably priced 7-7. Drinks were great and our food came out quickly. I got the Montreal Beef Sandwich. Tasty brisket with a great combination of flavors. Fries were good. My wife got the Salmon BLT, which was also very good, with great bacon and a nice slab of fish. She got the upcharged Brussels Sprouts for her side and they were also tasty. My brother got the Arnold Palmer Chicken Sandwich, a tea-soaked sandwich that he enjoyed. He got the house chips, and they were also good. Service was attentive, and both servers who hit up our table were great. Fun vibe, and what looks to be and up-and-coming neighborhood.

I was excited to try out Crosby's for a Sunday brunch. I ordered the Coffee Cured Salmon Benedict…read more My friends ordered the Classic Benedict, Coffee Cured Lox Bagel, and the Chicken Duo with Bacon and Apple. The salmon was good on my egg Benedict, but the hollandaise sauce was clumpy and it was overall underwhelming. The bite I had of my friend's lox bagel tasted pretty good. I ordered the Chocolate Chip Banana Brioche Bread Pudding for dessert and my friend order the beignets. I thought the chocolate chip and chocolate sauce overpowered the bread pudding. I would have preferred less chocolate sauce and more cream sauce to balance out the chocolate chips. However, if you are a chocolate lover and you can enjoy it with a large glass of milk it may be right up your alley. The beignet were disappointing compared to those in New Orleans. The beignet's exterior was harder than normal and they weren't as fluffy. The service was overall good, however I wish the waitress would have asked if I would like a refill, versus me flagging her down 10 minutes after my glass was empty especially since the soda/tea glasses are about half the size of other restaurants.

They certainly spend a lot of money and I hope it's busy every single day. I know if their was an establishment like this in California it would be super pricy to play and eat. The service was awesome and the gal took great care of us and came back to check on us often. The food was okay. They made really good margaritas and the spicy bloody was the best I have had. My cobb salad would have been amazing if they had better or homemade dressing. It was very thick and had no flavor. We had to taste the fried cheese and it was really good, but very salty. I would have to eat one and then wait 15 minutes to eat another one. It was delicious though. My husband had the meat sundae I think and he liked the dish and the horseradish sauce was good and not too over powering. I love that they offer airline chicken which I am assuming it is "air chilled" which has not been dipped into chlorine or antibiotics!? Overall I would come back and try other foods and drinks in the future!!

I have never been to a place like this nor do I play Pickleball (yet), but while visiting Iowa, our…read morefriends took us here and it was a memorable experience. They have very good comfort food and a nice selection of adult beverages. I had the bacon mac which I enjoyed. The place was clean and our server was friendly. I love that they have indoor activities like bowling and pickleball with another upstairs bar with indoor and outdoor seating with more activities like corn hole. I think others are overly harsh on their critiques of the establishment. It is not meant for fine dining; it's a place to have fun for a few hours. As a person who grew up in Northern WI in the 80s, I would have loved to have a place like this!

Martini selection was excellent and tasted very good. Good menu with small appetizers and entrees. I have two main issues with this place. 1. Extremely slow service. There were 2 servers and 2 bartenders for 40 tables. Very slow on everything. 2. Food was good but pricey for the amount you receive. Don't go here unless you have a couple hours to kill and/or you aren't hungry. There are much better places to eat for the value. That being said it's a cool venue with a good martini selection and full bar.

Hubby ate all the N.O. burger and really enjoyed it. My Lima burger was delish but I ordered the gravy on the side. Don't care for gravy and glad they didn't smother the patty with it. Enjoyed the salad. The fries were good but a tad salty for my taste. FYI, parking only in street or lot. Both places charge. Would return when I'm in town.

The food was pretty good, the waitress was kind, but also very busy. When we told the waitress about my birthday I received a free dessert, so that was nice. The big bummer was when we paid the credit card was ran and I handed the waitress a cash tip. After she got her tip we noticed that gratuity was added already and the waitress hadn't mentioned the gratuity. I was surprised that she didn't say anything and that there was no clear notice that a party of 6 would automatically have gratuity added to the bill. We did talk with the waitress and she returned the cash tip, but just want others to be aware of their gratuity policy.

I thought it was the restaurant that was featured on KCRG for their decorations. But boy was I glad I did. The place was decorated with all kinds of Christmas decorations like on the news and the place was festive. We had our best meal there we've had anywhere in a long time. This is a gem that needs to be upvoted. We ordered the $21 ribeye, thinking ya sure, ribeye for $21 where everywhere else is $30 to $40 dollars. It was delicious, perfectly done to my request, great sides of potatoes and zucchini and Chimichirri sauce. We also ordered the Asian Potsticker Salad. Again, just delicious. With two amber pints for happy hour we the best dinner in months. Help was exceptional and all employees looked to be very happy working there, I asked. Highly recommend, and we'll be going back to try all there other specialties.
