   The war room was a great experience I went with me and my team. The food was great. Our server was so pleasant and I also give her kudos for also training a new server at the same time. I had the corned beef sandwich that was excellent as well as a huge portion of Mac and cheese. The history around the room of pictures and legislators created great discussion. Overall excellent experience.

   Food and service were excellent. Really enjoyed the political decor. We will be back . Only critique would be the chicken parm needs a side of pasta

   Ambiance needs more balance to make everyone comfortable.

   This visit was a huge disappointment and left us with the impression that the owners really need to step up their game. Bar staff was overwhelmed— backed up by drink orders and unable to tend to bar guests. The wait staff was frustrated and one of the servers was practically in tears because she had a full dining room and couldn’t serve her tables their drinks. An older man who I assume was an owner came down to assess the situation. He only lent a few unwilling gazes with crossed arms, then proceeded to talk on his cellphone— ignoring the fact that one of his customers tried to engage him— and ignoring the fact his staff needed help. About an hour after we finished our meal the bartender got help from someone to get checks out to the bar customers and by the time we left, that person started to help make drinks. Other oddities came to fruition when I ventured upstairs to let the host know that we had a table at the bar and to remove our reservation; he became agitated and confrontational with one of the servers. He then represented himself as the manager and couldn’t understand why I came up to let him know that we were eating at the bar. It pains me to write that I do not recommend this place. There’s an obvious lack of leadership that overflows into the climate. The food was mediocre and could use some improvement, but owners/managers really need to wake up.

   Excellent sushi!! Eating for sushi alone would be much higher. Great location if you are going to event across the street

   Sat and waited 45 mins for food (burger and brisket), was delivered chicken poutine and wrong burger. They then bought out a Cold burger. While we sat another couple arrived 10 mins after us, order similar to us and were out before we even got our food. Will not go back and won’t recommend. Very poor experience.

    If you are going stick to the Sushi, it is amazing, The other food was not real exciting, Bison burger was so tough and very overcooked. Lobster Mac and cheese was good, but spicy, so be prepared. Lobster roll was very odd and very small. The sweet potato fries were good.
