    My friends and I love coming here but on two separate occasions the owner has come up to us and was unbelievably rude and entitled. I have never heard of anyone in the service industry talk to customers this way. The first occurrence was a few weeks ago when a group of us were buying an uber home near the bathrooms. He walked right through our group and told us we were blocking a "high traffic area" and proceeded to tell us he was the owner of the establishment and went on a power trip. I tried to explain to him we were just trying to get a ride and coordinate because there were no open tables and he was very disrespectful. Last night, he approached my friends standing by the bar to get a drink saying they were in the way as well, when they were trying to order from the bar. He proceeded to tell my friend that "she needs to stop drinking and get some help" when no one was openly over intoxicated or causing a problem in any way. These have been my only two times here and I will not be returning. Great place but this man needs to get his shit together.

    I'm not entirely sure how to describe Zhora- hipster bar with food? Modern day tavern? However you describe it, it's a nice stop for brunch in Northeast. The brunch menu isn't huge (and few vegan options) but it is well curated. I ordered their take on eggs Benedict - that included a tomato jam with greens on the side. It was excellent - good combination of flavors. The drip coffee was excellent-some of the best I've had for brunch anywhere. I just wish it was a little easier to get refills. The server never seemed thrilled when I asked her. Oh well. Overall a good experience

    Stuffed French Toast

    Walked in on a Saturday for brunch and was seated right away. There were tons of tables available. Parking was a little tricky, but not too bad if you're willing to walk a block or so. The bartender was the only server and he was fantastic. Super attentive and quick. My friend and I both ordered the stuffed French toast and were SO happy we did. A massive portion with strawberries that were super fresh. And not too sweet. I also ordered a side of eggs and sausage - the eggs were a tad undercooked, but not terrible. I would absolutely come here for brunch again!

    We went to a bar nearby after dinner. We found this place behind our parking lot. Very chill vibe at this bar, we walked in and saw 2 pool tables in the front. We sat at the booth and noticed the wooden partition to separate the otherside of the table. Interesting pattern made of wood. Our server brought us over to the end booth and gave us suggestions on cocktails. They have their own names for the cocktails. My friend made room for more food and ordered perogies and chicken wings. I can see this place busy on Friday or Saturday evening.

    I had been meaning to check them out and having family in town was the excuse I needed! We walked by around brunch on a Saturday and it was empty since they're primarily a late-night spot for music and drinks. The space is unique since it used to be the Red Stag and gives off supper club vibes that don't match the venue or menu. Speaking of... We tried to order 2 separate apps and were told they were both not available. After asking it seems they're changing the menu soon so just aren't prepping a lot of stuff. That's fine but a note on the menu would have been nice. We got a couple cocktails and they were decent. The egg sandwich was "ok" but nothing remarkable. The best part about it was the tomato jam. Main flavor was pepper. The sandwich was just pretty empty. There was a soft brioche bun, some slightly sage-flavored eggs, and a very small slather of some aioli. I was disappointed by the lack of flavor for how much it costs. Egg on a Roll across the river will give you 10x the flavor for 2/3 the price. If you're going to go simple like "eggs, one herb, mayo" it's got to be really well executed. The avocado toast was much better but, again, is kind of pricey. The avocado spread was nice and bright from the lime and the toast was flavorful. The eggs are the perfect french-style texture but, again, unseasoned. Lack of flavor strikes again. We also tried a watermelon salad that was very refreshing. Still expensive for some spinach, watermelon chunks, cucumber, and feta. Overall I don't think I'll be back but it was a good experience. I assume going at night when they're running their main menu and you're looking for a trendy spot is better.

    I got close to experiencing all the facets of this place last night except the pool tables, maybe next time! My main purpose was music, specifically Fenix Dion, my only complaint is that the set was so short. Sound in the room is good, and there is a bar in it that includes THC beverages. The staff were very helpful for the most part, and I asked quite a few questions since it was my first time. Later in the evening as it got busier, there were longer waits for service; they may need to staff up more for nights when there is good music in the back. I kind of knew I was going to try the Green Pea Falafel because falafel is one of my favorite things to try wherever it is served. They were yummy, not dry and the sauce complemented them well.

    I checked out this cute little spot last night with a girlfriend of mine because they were having a comedy show in the back room. We decided we'd have dinner here first. Our waitress was super friendly and knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. the price of the food was pretty good and same for the drinks. My girlfriend had the strawberry vodka drink, and I had a glass of red wine. They do have a parking lot, but it was closed off because of construction. I did find a close place nearby to park though that I didn't have to pay. The Comedy show was a lot of fun. I will definitely be back.

    Great burger

    Odd but possibly fun place and I would say the food very much reflects that. My group ordered a mishmash of offerings and the burger was amazeballs but literally everything else was really not great at all. The pretzel bites are really really not it.

    Omg. You must get to Zhora asap. Amazing. In the old red stag spot. Pool tables. craft cocktails. Wine, beer. Incredible food. We had the shishito peppers, I had the outstanding five leaves burger the spring pea ravioli, roasted corn salad, celery potato mash and crème brûlée to die for. Outstanding servers. Live music is coming in November. Get to zhora. The ambiance is everything.

    Such good brunch! Unreal Bloody Mary & the sausage waffles were to die for! It is so cute in here and the service is amazing

    The Smash burger was great. Fries were extra crispy. Would definitely get again. Ideal spot for late night since kitchen is open past 11pm.

    My mom was telling me about a restaurant in the area and took me here. When we walked in she…read morerealized it wasn't the same restaurant she had been thinking about but we stayed and decided to check it out anyways. The day we went they had brunch, it wasn't too busy. You could definitely tell it was the community spot, everyone knew each other and it was genuinely good vibes. At the time we went (was a bit ago), it took a while for the waitress to get to us, as they were also the bartender. We did order drinks as well as split the chicken biscuit sandwich which came with fruit. Overall the sandwich was good. I'd definitely like to check out more of the menu. Drinks were good a well. The restaurant overall is nice, casual/classy vibes. They do have a parking lot & street parking.

    It was very quiet in the whole space, and service was still questionable. There was another patron…read moreat the bar that would ask if we needed anything and they relay it to our server. We ordered a meal that came with potatoes steak bites and green beans (photo not included) Once it came we had to call them back and inquire as there were no green beans on the plate. It was brought out. 5 green beans. 5. That was just wild to us. I got the fish and spaghetti. That was a new experience. I haven't had fried salmon before. I did think it was fried well and the spaghetti had flavor. I did miss some type of veggie on the meal though.
