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.

Despite being a Vegan and Gluten-free desert, it is one of their most popular. I hope it's there the next time we travel through this area. The other Vegan items were good but this is truly great!

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.

Plenty of seating on padded benches, tables and at the bar. Comfortable place, feels sleek and hip. I'd love to see a fireplace in it for some reason. The drink menu is extensive. Wine and beer along with most any martini flavor you could come up with. Seriously, if you can't find a martini or three that you like here, you shouldn't be going out. The food menu is flatbreads and finger foods, perfect for a place to come before a dinner elsewhere. The staff have always been friendly and helpful with suggestions or questions.

There's flavor combinations I wouldn't have thought of trying. The actual burger was good but not great. For a burger joint that charges a premium price, I expect a juicy burger. The meat quality had a few bits of gristle and it wasn't super juicy. It was a bit dry and cooked well done. The fries you could tell were just frozen fries. There's really only street parking or a public parking lot on the same street. However, the restaurant validate parking for the first hour, which is nice. Overall, this place was good but not great.

First impressions were a bit confusing--the entrance makes you feel like you're walking into an office building. There's a door to the right with signage for what seems to be a sister bar that's only open on limited nights, but the actual restaurant is straight back. Once inside, the space is large and open, with plenty of room between tables and a sizable bar area. I sat at the bar and learned about their Whiskey Wednesday specials, which included several types of Old Fashioneds and whiskey flights. While it sounded intriguing, I opted not to partake. They also offer daily drink special themes. The menu is eclectic, with a mix of Cajun, Italian, and American fare. I went with the Cacio e Pepe with Elephant Ear (Orcchiette) pasta, and added shrimp along with a half wedge salad as a premium side. The pasta itself was delicious--perfectly cooked with a rich, peppery flavor. However, I wish the server had mentioned that the shrimp was Cajun-seasoned. While great on its own, it slightly overpowered the pasta. The wedge salad was a bit of a letdown--the lettuce was watery, which diluted the overall flavor. The dish also came with garlic bread, which was yummy. Service was outstanding--attentive, friendly, and efficient. Unfortunately, it was hard to get a real read on the restaurant's vibe because it was pretty empty on a Wednesday night.
