However, the beers, food pairings, staff, and ambiance were great. The kitchen is open to the dining area and was remarkably quiet. Seating is comfortable. A fun and unique dining experience.

It was served with some of the most delicious beans around. My girlfriend got the pork and it was served with a roulade that was the perfect pairing. The Au Gratin potatoes were creative and wonderful. My girlfriend got a parfait style dessert, and I got a combo Cookie/Brownie that was served with some of the best whipped cream you’ll ever taste. Service was attentive and welcoming. Would definitely suggest it!
