    One of the best beer lists we've seen. We LOVE the huge Flying Dog selection. Macadamia Crusted Tilapia was amazing. The location right in the heart of Nap Town can't be beat. Read more below. Read more

    Solid American food in an intimate pub setting. The crab cake was actually plump and full of meat; beer list was average with some local taps. Crab soup was a little too sweet.

    Cream of crab soup and crab dip were awesome. But it's only 7:30 on a Saturday night and they're out of all desserts except brownies! WTF?!?

    Fish tacos: super yum! Best bartenders in town: LB & GB. And ask for Shane if you're seated at a table. He's smart, cute, and an excellent server :)

    Harvest salad with grilled chicken is to die for! Especially after a long walk. Federal House ale is a must while you're here.
