We enjoyed sitting on the patio, we actually never made it past the host stand so I can't say what the inside is like, but the outside was beautiful. One of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. I've always seen menu items that say buy the kitchen a 6 pack, and this was the first time ever I did. We got the lettuce wraps to start, then got a pizza, wings, pasta, and a burger for our entrees, and carrot cake to go. The lettuce wraps were fantastic and had a lovely kick to them. All of our entrees were exceptional and plenty leftover to take to our hotel. The only thing we didn't absolutely love was the carrot cake, but it was still good.

Found myself in Wooster around noon, and needed some lunch. Saw this spot on Yelp and decided to…read moregive it a try! Menu is soups, salads and sandwiches. From the looks of the space, they're a bar by night and lunch spot by day. Really cool old space with original hardwood floors, high cathedral ceilings and rustic charm. Ambiance was on point. Their menu is fairly unique. A number of custom house options that take traditional sandwiches and add stuff you wouldn't necessarily expect. I ended up getting one of their seasonal specials that is a play on a grilled cheese sandwich. It came on toasted, marbled, rye, with feta cheese, fresh, sliced jalapeños, fresh, sliced pineapple, and Swiss cheese. I always love, trying things that combine, savory, sweet, and spicy. So I was hoping for the best with this one, and it delivered. The sandwich came with hot waffle, fries, and a side of ketchup. Shout out to the two people working, as they were completely overwhelmed, but getting food out to tables regardless. I was expecting a pretty long wait time based on the orders ahead of me, but my food came out in under 10 minutes. I was impressed all things considered. My only small complaint is the pricing is just a little bit high for what you get. Especially a grilled cheese. It's just bread, pineapple, jalapeño, and cheese. I don't feel like that should cost $13. I wish the waffle fries came with it for that price. But they were an additional three dollars, as well as three dollars for a fountain drink. After taxes and tip, it was a little over $23. That's a pretty steep price to pay for what was supposed to be a simple lunch. I would definitely come here again, but not on the regular simply based on the high prices.

I hate leaving negative reviews, especially because this is one of the few restaurants where I can safely eat with my extensive food allergies. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. We had several issues throughout our visit, including drinks being spilled with no assistance offered to help clean them up. What was most upsetting, though, was the owner's attitude. Rather than handling the situation professionally, they were disrespectful and even spoke poorly to our server, who had nothing to do with the problems we experienced. It was uncomfortable to watch, and she did not deserve to be treated that way. The one bright spot was the manager, who was kind, helpful, and did their best to make things right. I truly appreciate their professionalism. I sincerely hope the owner reflects on how customers and staff are treated, because this restaurant has the potential to be a great place--especially for those of us with limited dining options due to food allergies. read more

Overall, a solid addition to downtown Wooster. The space itself is cool...this location used to…read morefeel long and awkward, but they've finally figured out how to make it work, and it feels much more intentional now. I've been to this restaurant twice now. Food-wise, the mushroom scampi was excellent...easily the standout of the meal and something I'd order again. The French onion dip is a huge portion and an excellent app for sharing. The carrot appetizer is divine as well. Bravo on apps. Entree-wise, The curry, on the other hand, was just okay. It really needed more heat and bolder flavor to live up to its potential. Hot sauce and pepper helped a lot. The gluten-free lasagna was good, with generous portions, but not quite "best ever" territory. Portion sizes across the board were great, and the wine list is impressive. One small thing: there wasn't much explanation about how the separate wine area in the back works. We had to ask our server, since the space is divided between the restaurant and the wine area; a little blurb on the menu or upfront info would help. I did sit in the wine area on my 2nd visit. It's cozy and at first seemed quieter than the rest of the noisier part of the main restaurant. But then the noises from the kitchen soon interrupted conversation and we found ourselves shouting over the banging noises to hear each other. It was like people were throwing plastic bins around back there! Not quite the "intimate" vibe we thought it would be. Overall, I really appreciated the vegan and gluten-free options, which aren't always easy to find, and it's nice to see more upscale food being added to Wooster's downtown lineup. Definitely a place I'm glad exists...and worth checking out!!

Call it what it is and don't lie to the customer. The double smash burger was the furthest thing from a smash burger. It was a double full patty. Both patties were dry and inedible. The side of potatoes was raw and cold. Food & Service VERY disappointing.

My dad and brother had shrimp po boy's and said the shrimp were jumbo and crisp. My boyfriend had the maple burger and loved it. It was juicy, the bacon was crisp, and the egg was just runny enough.
