We love the food here. Usually easy to get an outside table. Ambience isn't great as the cars go flying by on Cass, but you're a little bit back. Last night we unfortunately had bad service. Waiter had a bit of an attitude, and also just uninterested it seemed. I wondered if they assigned tables in a rotation as the table next to us had a friendly, attentive waitress. Maybe he was busy inside? Luckily we weren't in a hurry as people who came after us were all gone long before us. Only asked if we wanted another drink after the busgirl had cleared our plates, long after we finished eating. Our meals were delicious, but we'll think twice before we go back.

Great food, service was not at all bad but a little slow. If he came by more we would have bought more drinks, so I guess worse for the owner. Drinks and good was tasty. Good ambiance. The server was nice though.

Chicken sandwich was so tough could not finish it. $9 for Brussel sprouts is a little much. Their menu online is wrong, they really don’t have half of the items they used to it looks like. Party in the other side of the restaurant was too loud.

We always enjoy dinner here before the car show. We get there early to beat the crowds. We were 1 of just a few other tables but the waitress seems rushed and would take off the minute she thought you were done speaking with her. She seemed very distracted. Drinks took a while to get. I ordered the sweet potato fries but they brought out regular fries. However they were quick to bring out the sweet potato fries. Not the best service but food is good.

Short Ribs excellent; whisky BBQ burger excellent; prime rib philly (subbed mozzarella for American) excellent; Panko Chicken well…would have been excellent if they didn’t put the sauce on the chicken…what would have been a crispy panko breading turned into a soggy disappointing bite…will order with the sauce on the side next time. Suggestion: a nice panko breaded or seared pork chop would be a nice addition to the menu.

We were a few minutes early for our reservation, and when we walked up to the bar, we were immediately greeted by the bartender who asked what we needed. When we moved over to the bar, Alex also greeted us and asked if we needed anything. After we sat, we had a great meal, and we’ll definitely be back!

This was our first visit to the restaurant. It was a busy night due to the first Westmont car show of the season. I chose the onion soup and we shared a portobello mushroom burger. The onion soup was great with a nice covering of melted cheese. The portobello mushroom burger was well cooked and well seasoned with balsamic vinegar.I had the peach envy cocktail which was excellent. We will definitely go back next time we are in the area.

The first time was amazing and they had a separate gluten free menu. I have celiac and it was why I went there. One week later it was changed , they got rid of the gluten free menu and they don’t even have items on the menu marked gluten free. I won’t be back. What a shame they alienated part of their clientele.
