    I have no complaints about the food or service. Both were excellent. We reserved a table in the dining room to celebrate Fathers Day on Saturday evening. I specifically booked the dining room because we were celebrating with family. I was extremely disappointed with the our seating arrangement. While we were seated on the second floor where the dining room is located, our table was in an awkward room behind the bar. The back end of the bar actually took up half of this room. Ruined the experience for us. The restaurant was not particularly busy so I am unsure why our reservation was not honored properly. My suggestion to the Brewery would be to not offer options that you don't intend to honor. Especially when you are imposing a dress code. We might as well have arrived in jeans and dined at the bar.

    Some dishes were excellent, the drunken class needed more garlic, there was little flavor in the broth. Prices are on the high side.
