The food was incredible. We ate in the bar area so the view was not existent but just a short walk across the street fixed that. Easy to get to and easy to make it to the Pens game afterward.

We were seated at a high top right at the corner of the bar. It was a 4 top and the reservation was for 5 so we were tight. The food was very good. Some had the crab cakes and they were great with big chunks of crabmeat. Others had Reuben’s and they were quite good and large. Our server was excellent. Very friendly and quick!
