   Excellent vodka martini followed by super tasty smash burgers. The ambiance was divine with eclectic modern mixed with old fashioned. Will def return!

   We came because of the Sunday evening music and were seated directly in front of the band so the noise level was high. But it was pretty good music (piano needs tuning) and we were all of an age that we knew almost all the songs so that was fun. Food was terrific -- the Smash Burger was the best hamburger EVER. Way too much salad, altho it was delicious.

    Fern Bar is decorated in such a way that feels homey and comfy and also eccentric. I could not stop looking at all the things on the walls. We loved the whole experience and the details like vintage ashtrays holding dehydrated fruit on the bar. The silve pin in the martini olives. It’s so rare to see details like this anywhere. Loved the food and I got the Thai iced tea drink and it was delicious.

    Fern Bar is a unique and eclectic establishment. The decor hearkens back to the 80’s, designed by Brian Anderson. The result left us feeling like we were hanging out in our aunt’s curated basement for entertaining. Comfortable surroundings. The food offerings also are not your standard fare. We especially enjoyed the huge and spicy steamed dumplings (two to an order) and the salads. The real stars at Fern Bar, however, are the handcrafted cocktails. I highly recommend Smoke and Mirrors. The bar tenders are pure artists and are a key reason that this place is usually packed and hopping! Definitely worth a stop.

    Service was attentive, our waiter was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We were a party of 7, and took some time making decisions but never felt rushed. The menu is a little small, but everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Serving sizes are ample, and price was not over the top. The jazz trio was a bonus for our birthday celebration, and made it much more festive. We'll be going back!

    Was a great experience - the hostess gave us a private room (the green room) which was next to the live jazz music. Beautiful space, awesome drinks, and delish food. Service was exceptional.

    Cocktails, Good, service and ambient were all good. I thought our aged fried over-fried a little bit and turned out it was really different than people from our next table. The trout with green curry had great favor with mushroom. Our server asked if I wanted to pair with rice for the curry and of course I said yes. When I saw our check and it was $7 for a bowl of rice! It was so overpriced. $4-$5 would be more reasonable.

    This was the second visit to the Fern Bar with a group of friends for lunch. The greeting was less than friendly which set a bad first impression and was totally different than our last visit. We ordered cocktails which were GREAT, then some french fries to enjoy with the cocktails and then 3 different entrees. The fried chicken sandwich was ok...but server didn't mention that it was coming with MORE french fries (another option would have been nice). At the end of the meal we were looking forward to coffee and dessert, but we had to call the server over who basically abandoned us after the main courses were delivered. We had the churros which were crispy but a bit soggy inside. Overall, I'm glad this wasn't my first visit. I'll write it off to a bad day and give it one more try.

    "Fern Bar" was great! The food was delicious and had some new unique selections along with some nicely done more regular menu items. The service by the two Lily's was fabulous. They were both upbeat, positive and enthusiastic, and gave us timely professional service!

    We stopped in on a Sunday, there was a musician performing midway through our dinner. the food we tried was uniformly excellent: Sweet Potato Pierogi, Fried Chicken bites with home made pickles and Onomiyake. Eclectic, but all surprisingly well done. Where I was disappointed was in the cocktails. First round was a Last Word. Perfection. However, my husband said his Manhattan was off. Next I ordered a Kyoto Sour. Simply awful. The matcha powder on the top for decoration had an overpowering smell (right under your nose when drinking). The drink was extremely sweet and just not well balanced. On the other hand my husband loved his second drink - some sort of bourbon spice specialty. Maybe just a bad selection (server recommended). I would come back and try some other cocktails. Burgers at the next table looked delicious!

    This was a belated 70th birthday brunch for my sister. We needed a place that would accommodate a variety of diets and be comfortable to sit for my elderly mother. The food was delicious the drinks were as well. Our server was very prompt and friendly. It was a lovely meal
