Only complaint is that when I ordered a burger there was no side. That’s pretty silly - should at least come with fries. But no yeah, really good food and drinks. Great date vibes

Everything was good but two guests got Caesar salads and said they weren’t very impressed. The dressing was watery and barely any croutons or cheese like it had said in description.

Great food and great brews! My fiancé loved the steak frites and limited-time fried deviled eggs offered for CRW. I got the burger which was perfectly cooked, but needed a sauce. The bottom bun was also quite stale, which was odd. We each got a cocktail and a beer and all were fabulous. Will definitely be back for dinner or happy hour!

I had the prefixe menu and the food was not very good. There are other dishes that may be better the couple next to us enjoyed their entrees to be fair. The server was very pleasant but the food delivery was very slow. Beer selections were outstanding though.
