The appetizers were ok but our meals were lackluster to downright bad. Even the lemonade was not good. Wait staff seemed indifferent. Wanted to like our meal much more than we did.

The food was really good. We started dinner at 5:30 on a Saturday night and they were out of several items, which seemed odd. Service was slow. The prices felt high, especially given the less-than-stellar service.

Went there for Sunday brunch to celebrate my sister's birthday. What a disappointment. The bartender was extremely rude to several in our party. Despite our reservation for 6 people, no table was ready when we arrived and the tables that were shoved together were of different sizes. Bloody Mary bar?? They have a nerve calling it that. For toppings just lemons, limes and a few olives. No pickles, celery, cucumber, peppers, bacon, shrimp. Then let's talk about the food. We waited nearly 30 minutes once we placed our orders and when the food arrived it was cold. For the eggs benedict they seem to use bearnaise sauce rather than hollandaise -- can you imagine eggs benedict without hollandaise sauce? Then the manager -- or rather the fill-in manager -- came over to ask how everything was and we told him. He listened politely but really made a lot of excuses -- cooks called in sick, short staffed, etc. We will NOT be returning ever again. Terrible experience.

I was very disappointed. We went for Father's Day brunch. Our food took one and a half hours to get to us. We were told it is because the kitchen staff is new. Our server was lovely but didn't seem to know much about items on the menu. The food when we finally got it was very good, but the overall experience was disappointing and I likely will not eat there again. At least they did the right thing and comped our entrees.

I was disappointed with my visit this time. It appeared that they were VERY understaffed and that the staff were new. Our meals took very long to come out from the kitchen and when they arrived, they were cold. The manager did come around and apologize for the experience. Nearly every other time that I have visited had been a great experience.

Great selection of beers. Very extensive and eclectic menu offerings. We enjoyed everything that we ordered: buffalo cauliflower; Denver steak was cooked to order; salmon; fish & chips all quite tasty. The server did a nice job, very professional and well informed. However, it took forever for the entrees to come out, and when they did, some sides were missing. Condiments were in short supply and again, it took a lot of time to receive malt vinegar and ketchup. So very good food, long waits.

Great food and love that you cater to celiac (gluten free) as both my daughter and I have d=celiac disease. Only thing that would be better is to have more deserts for people with celiac. Ice cream was great though!

Eclectic decor like bar stools made of reclaimed wood, and a couple of communal tables (in addition to traditional seating options) in a cozy setting. Every thing on the menu is labeled based on whether it can be made gluten free, vegetarian, and/or vegan. The menu is as eclectic as the decor (from pho to fish and chips to tacos). The staff was friendly and attentive, yet laid back. Great place for a date night!

I'm guessing they were understaffed on Saturday. I waited at the door for several minutes before anyone acknowledged me. It took awhile to get a table even though I had a reservation. Once seated the server was attentive, but things did go slow. Overall pleasant experience. Good food. Nice staff but maybe not enough of them?

Sadly I was not impressed by the food. It was a cool place but not worth the money for wise. However they did have some good beers on tap.

Our server was great very friendly food was good, we did the valentines special. The empanadas were superb, steak and scallops were of high quality, and the creme brûlée was excellent. We tried the tequila flight, I feel they could change some of the tequilas In that one was very harsh. Overall it was a great choice for our valentines!
