After having a delicious experience with Degrees’s contribution at the Mac & Cheese fest, we decided to make a reservation and enjoy happy hour dinner on our day off. The service and presentation was wonderful. The food was really delicious. Multiple times my son said “next time…” which means he really enjoyed the food and wants to come back. It was very quiet when we were there at 430, and the place should really be packed. Degrees has limited hours — weekdays for lunch and dinner, but it is worth a trip, especially for happy hour drinks and dinner.

My first visit and it was a good one. Fried pickles for starters, great pub burger, and cold beer made for nice evening. Our server Amber was awesome too. We’ll be back.

My wife and I were seated after arriving. We had reservations. Waitress gave us our menu and served us our drinks. Took forever to come back and take our orders. The table behind us was seated after us, but the waitress came back and took their order before taking our orders. I ordered a Bucket Burger with Chips and a Crock of Sirloin Chili. Another waitress brought us our orders dropped them off and was gone in a flash. I asked my wife didn't I order The Bucket Burger with Chips, she said she thought I did. I was given fries instead of chips. I ate the burger and soup because we didn't have time to wait. We were going to my grandson"s football game.

Brass Eye is the perfect place to unwind and be inspired by one of our founding fathers who knew how to have fun and not be too serious.

Our dynamic rooftop bar is surrounded by oversized fireplaces, cozy seating with panoramic views of the city – and is the perfect place to assemble with friends for well-crafted spirits and honest food that’s perfect for sharing and good times.

Wonderful experience! One of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Brussels sprouts were to die for. The vibe was immaculate!

The double nickel salad is our favorite salad from any restaurant. We split the Wild mushroom pizza. The happy hour price for the pizza makes it a very delicious meal at a reasonable price. Our server was Tia and she is a gem - very friendly and knowledgeable. She kept our glasses full and checked on us throughout the Mel.
