So first the pros, my wife & I loved that every table had a different fun game on it. Secondly the drink selection was impressive & fun, and everything we had from the bar was delicious. The location is top notch and the restaurant actually has parking (a couple of spots behind the restaurant). Lastly I love the menu and the way that items are presented. It's very clever and fun. Lastly the dessert was DELICIOUS and huge (definitely more than enough for two). Now the cons. The appetizers were universally terrible. They were either undercooked (latkes), disappointingly bland and disgusting (mozz sticks), or just horribly executed (guac was just mashed avocados there was ZERO spice to it). As for the entrees, I had the Lord of the Rings and they were passable, the best part was the spicy remoulade but then they served it with a tiny lil ramekin of the sauce rather than a decent portion, meaning I had to flag down my waiter halfway through and wait for more to be brought. My wife had the sliders and they were just ok. Overall with such a cleverly written menu I had hoped that the kitchen was just as inventive but I was woefully disappointed.

Our server was amazing, friendly and attentive. The food was perfect! The chicken on the fried chicken and waffles was not too oily at all and the waffle was moist and delicious! Great atmosphere and decor! definitely coming back.

Great food. Really fun ambience. Really nice service and good value for all of it. Would definitely recommend! My only issues was their sangria was basically just red wine, not much other flavor to it.

It is a fabulous bar, but their food is not up to quality and their service for brunch was very slow and disjointed. I would not recommend for Brunch or for food but they have a great after work ambiance for a quick drink or a date.
