I asked our server (Jonathan) about several dishes I was considering, and one of them was the Oklahoma Smash Burger. When he exclaimed, "One of my favorites," I ordered it and understood why! Great burger - from the bun down to the special sauce! We enjoyed Jonathan's service - great personality! Next time [soon], I will try one of the other dishes for which Jonathan also gave high marks.

We there on time and were seated right away. But then we were completely ignored. After ten to fifteen minutes of nobody coming to even offer water or take a drink order we decided to leave and go to “The Local Irish Pub” across the street. They did not appear busy and when we left the host did say “Thanks for coming”. I don’t think he remembered that we had only arrived fifteen minutes earlier. My rating reflects “no service”. My rating for food is only because I had to rate it and we were never served any.

Emma was our excellent and attentive server. The Brie cheesecurds are unique. The cocktails were good. I had the beef short rib which was delicious, as were the potatoes. My wife had the gnocchi, which she described as pillowy. The side of Brussels was also good. Love the apple bread pudding.

The server was good and the food came up quickly, but the food was a mixed bag for me - not as good as on previous visits. The barrel aged gnocchi was a hit - nice, rich flavor, but the brie curds were greasy and the chipotle bbq wings weren’t very flavorful or moist. It was still an enjoyable experience - fun setting and good service.
