We were a group of three and chose to sit inside this Sunday afternoon. We ordered two medium…read morepizzas, but had to wait more than 40 minutes for our food. During that time, there were only two people sitting at the bar, and they weren't even eating. There were also only about six or seven people seated on the terrace, so the restaurant didn't appear to be busy. Before ordering, I asked the waitress whether there was a happy hour discount on draft beers. She said yes, so I ordered three Modelo draft beers, and later ordered another one, total of four. When I received the bill, I noticed that none of the beers had the happy hour discount applied. I asked the waitress about it, and she explained that Modelo draft beer was excluded from the promotion. If certain draft beer brands are not included in happy hour, that should be clearly communicated either verbally when customers ask or clearly stated on the menu. Otherwise, it's misleading and disappointing.

My husband and I came in for dinner, and although we had to wait a while for our food after we…read moreordered it, it was absolutely worth it. The cheesesteak was cooked to perfection, and the bread was phenomenal--which says a lot because I'm very picky about bread! The pizza was also delicious. The sauce tasted more like the restaurant's meatball sauce than a traditional pizza sauce, but it was still very flavorful. The only surprise was that I ordered a second iced tea and wasn't told there was an additional charge. It would have been nice to know ahead of time, so just be aware that refills are not complimentary. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back.

My girlfriend and I visited last night and had mixed feelings about our experience…read more To start with the positive, my girlfriend was initially served the wrong glass of wine. The bartender immediately apologized, was very polite, and replaced it with the correct wine. Mistakes happen, and we appreciated how friendly and apologetic she was. Unfortunately, what happened afterward completely changed our impression. While we were sitting at the bar enjoying our cocktails and dinner, the incorrect glass of wine sat on the bar top for about 30 minutes. We even joked that someone was going to knock it over because it had been sitting there so long. Later, we watched a waitress ask the bartender for a glass of that same wine for another customer. To our surprise, the bartender said that she had poured that glass by mistake and had planned to drink it herself, then told the waitress to take that same glass and serve it to the customer. We were honestly speechless. Regardless of whether the wine had been touched, it had been sitting uncovered on the bar for approximately 30 minutes before being served to a paying customer. Watching that happen made us very uncomfortable and raised serious concerns about food and beverage handling practices. We understand that mistakes happen--that wasn't the issue. It's how the situation was handled afterward that left us disappointed. We hope management takes this feedback seriously because this isn't the level of service or food safety that customers should expect.

My husband and I have been regulars at red wine and brew since the beginning. The food has always…read morebeen amazing and the service excellent. Recently the restaurant must've been bought by somebody else and it is slowly gone downhill. We used to go there once a week for salads and now all they have is your typical cranberry smothered sweet fruity salads. There used to be a really good chef and a fabulous chop salad. When we walked in last Thursday, they were pretty empty. It used to be so packed all the time. We have gotten their burgers and those are usually always delicious, but the other night we went and we ordered smash burgers and the waitress brought us a different burger. It was smothered in some sweet unappetizing sauce. We told her immediately and she didn't seem to really care. We also used to get a lot of french fries, now it's just a small handful at the most. She never came back to the table and she never offered to take it off our bill. So disappointing. There used to be so many really great servers there, but we haven't seen them lately. I could be wrong, but I hate when these corporations buy up these restaurants and run them into the ground.

We were greeted immediately by the bar tender who was running the whole show herself! We had beers in front of us almost instantly. They have a bunch of stuff on the menu, even breakfast on the weekends but we were here for one thing and one thing only. Smash burgers! Let's get into it: the patties are a proprietary blend of chuck, short rib, and brisket. Locally sourced! Cooked/smashed perfectly, full of flavor. The edges were crispy and fried while the insides were full of juice! The onions were sliced so thin and cooked so perfectly and absorbed the meat juice so well you might not even notice they're in there if you aren't looking for them the bun is potato, which for all my real burgerheads out there, is the best bun for smash burgers. Perfect bread to meat ratio, and the flavor matches excellently with the burger juices it absorbs. The fries were fresh and battered nicely, but I couldn't finish all of them after devouring the burger. But they were good enough I was still snacking on them while finishing my beer on a completely full stomach! this place is awesome check it out!

We celebrated my birthday with my family at Pub Frato and had such a great brunch!…read more First of all, they have a really fun cocktail menu. I loved the pineapple mimosa, and our table also tried a few of the other cocktails plus a Bloody Mary. Definitely a good place if brunch drinks are part of the experience for you! Food-wise, the truffle fries may honestly have been my favorite thing on the table. I'm still bummed I completely forgot to try the beer cheese with anything because I've heard such good things about it. I ordered the smoked brisket patty melt, which was really good, although I have to admit Grammy's Breakfast BLT looked even better. I mainly committed to the patty melt because I wanted something that came with those truffle fries! Our table also tried the breakfast potatoes, skillet, Farmer's Breakfast, tacos, and Breakfast BLT, and I think the tacos and BLT were probably the winners of the table. Service was great, everyone was really nice, and the restaurant itself is super cute. It was a really fun place to celebrate with the family, and I'd definitely go back. Next time I want to try their dinner menu... and actually remember the beer cheese!
