Yelp led me to this establishment and I'm glad it did! My meal was perfect. I started off with a bowl of the Lobster Bisque. It was served with nice bread and butter. The Bisque was very good! It was just right in my opinion and was a large serving. For my main I decided on the Guinness Beer Battered Icelandic Cod that others here recommend and it did not disappoint! Rarely in the USA does the fish and chips remind me of what I had in Dublin but this did. The fish itself was flaky and the batter was fried to perfection. It really was some of the better fried fish I have ever had. The chips were big English style and were a perfect accompaniment to the fish. It also came with a large serving of very nice coleslaw. I will definitely be back through the race season to try more items.

We started with the brussels sprouts and the salmon bites. The sprouts are your standard balsamic glazed brussels sprouts but the serving size was great! The salmon bites were probably the most underwhelming item we tried, just fine, probably would have been much better if they were cooked a little more or possibly had a different sauce, unsure but they were still good overall. The drinks we tried, millionaire something and the redline were cool twists on classic cocktails but really just ok. For brunch we got the beet salad with steak and the salmon BLT. The Salmon on the BLT was just perfect, crispy and tender at the same time; I think if the bites were cooked the same I would have enjoyed them much more. THE BEET SALAD THOUGH, it was incredible. Now I love a beet salad, but so many are so underwhelming or downright bad, this was NOT the case. It may have been the best beet salad I've had in years. Steak was cooked well but really the beets and the salad were just so well done. The greens and toppings were just all great, I can't speak highly enough of this salad. I would probably get some extra dressing on the side next time but top notch. If you like a beet salad at all you have to order this one for sure.

They have an extensive menu a very interesting and fun drinks that I haven't seen elsewhere. Many of the drinks reminded me of something that I may find at a tiki bar. Although we did not try any of these drinks this time, I would definitely come back to explore the menu further if I was looking to have drinks with a friend. The real reason we came here was because my friend had heard that a woman comes on Monday nights and serves homemade Thai dumplings. This was in fact, true, and we split two orders of dumplings. We tried the traditional dumplings with meat, and the vegetarian dumplings. We received.Five dumplings per order, that were served quickly. The price was fairly reasonable. We both agreed that these dumplings were very good,. My friend enjoyed The traditional dumplings the best, whereas I loved the vegetarian ones even though I typically don't enjoy vegetarian options. The servers checked on us frequently and left us with a small picture of water so that we did not need to keep asking for refills. The interior of this bar has a great ambience that I would recommend for a meet up with a friend or a date. They do not serve many food options, in the night we were here the only food that they had was the dumplings. I would be more inclined to come back if they offered other snacks or appetizers. I would however definitely try this place again.

After watching several parties file in just before us, I was sure we'd have a wait but was pleasantly surprised when we were seated right away. The dining room is full of old photos chronicling the history of the business and the key individuals involved in its success. Our waitress was amazing and was as available as she could be, considering the crowd on hand. We all ordered from the Sunday Features menu with two of us ordering the steak dinner, two orders of the wing platter, and one fajita salad with steak. The fries and boneless wings on the platter were crispy and fresh. I'm not sure if the bleu cheese was homemade or not but it was delicious and creamy. I had the steak dinner with no onions and asked for it medium rare. The person next to me asked for the same, but more towards well done. I think our steaks came out looking identical; both had a little pink. Despite that, the steaks were juicy and flavorful and covered in a hearty gravy. We both agreed that the side of green beans were bland and needed a little seasoning, at least. The mashed potatoes were fine. My boyfriend loved the fajita salad, particularly the chipotle dressing.

My wife shared some of the onion straws from her salad, so I put them on my burger. It was really good that way (hint, hint... maybe the restaurant will serve burgers with the onion straws on them).
