    It’s overpriced for what you get. The frittes were soggy. Portions small.

    The food was good. We had seven people, and we ordered slowly. We were not in a rush, and we were not rushed to eat and run. I had brought friends from out of town. The service was friendly and professional.

    This place is close to being good. The menu has variety, but the execution of cocktails and dishes wasn’t quite there. The downstairs has character and yet you have to go upstairs to get a table. The view is nice from the lounge area, but the ambiance lacks any warmth. Our server was very attentive and helpful. I was excited to try a honey comb cocktail, but I think they might have forgotten the bourbon. It tasted like extremely sweet fruit juice. The peach old fashioned was fine, but you’d expect a distillery to have top notch drinks. The catch of the day was trout. It was cooked well, but there was strong smoky flavor that took overpowered everything. Even the potato served with the trout, tasted like liquid smoke. The cauliflower appetizer was the best thing that we ordered. The cauliflower was cooked well and the dipping sauce was good. I think the price point of this restaurant would reflect quality, but it comes up short.

    The brussel sprouts did not come with agrodulce as advertised. Instead, they were drenched in balsamic reduction that of which was extremely overwhelming. The sprouts were swimming in it. Thankfully, I told the waitress and she quickly corrected and confirmed that the chef did not prepare it to spec. I love bone marrow and got an order of Eight Settlers version. They were the smallest/most weak marrow tasting bones I've had to date. Sad... I really feel they could do better for their price point. The food is mid, the service is fantastic.

    Hi Shea, Hi [Reviewer’s Name], Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your experience with the Brussels sprouts and the bone marrow did not meet expectations. You're right to expect dishes to be prepared as described, and we're glad our team was able to respond quickly once the issue was brought to their attention. Your comments have been shared with our kitchen team, as we’re always striving to improve and ensure our offerings match the quality our guests deserve. We’re grateful for your kind words about the service, and we hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future to provide a more balanced and enjoyable dining experience. All the best!

    Followed the suggestion of other reviewers and reserved the bar seating. Good choice. Quieter than the dining room proper, even on Mothers Day. Great food and service. Waiter even refused to bring my credit card back to me till I'd returned from the restroom, so the honored mother didn't have to see/process it (she was willing). That's class/good service. Drinks were creative and well crafted. We will be back.
