    Food was excellent. My only complaint is that it wasn't very warm when it got to the table. We got the crab cakes.

    We have eaten there last 2 Saturday evenings and both times the food was very good. Also location was great as it is right next to Majestic Theatre. Definitely will return.

    Food was great. This is a great place to dine. Unfortunately our service was not great. We were able to look past the first issue of not getting our appetizer.. but there were additional issues after that. The restaurant has a really cool vibe and food was great.

    The Pour House is one of our favorite restaurants, that being said New Years Eve was really a disaster. They were totally unprepared, it took 1/2 hour to get two of their advertised drinks. Bartending was totally understaffed. The meal came lukewarm, and over salted. Wait staff bore the brunt of many unhappy customers. Really disappointing overall.
