About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for groups
Great for happy hour

A cozy apres work, apres the day escape right inside the city. A warm room, great cocktails, simple food made well and a feel that makes you forget you're not in the mountains. A place to watch the game, play shuffle board or just unwind at the wood or with your dog on the patio.

I like the ambience and the smashburgers were delicious but the gravy wasn’t good and they need to pay attention to cleanliness of things like the top of ketchup bottle.

The restaurant is nicely layed out with various seating options including a patio (didn't sit there though). I was there for a weekday lunch with family. Quiet and not busy. The food was good - burgers for most plus some soup and duck wings (that's what they called them). The service left a little to be desired - I believe it was the bartender doing two roles including table service which wasn't his forte as the memory factor for orders was not strong. Overall, nice location with below ground parking (2 hrs complimentary) and good ambiance. Perhaps during the busy parts of the day they would offer a better all-round service.
