Dave RJuly 11, 2018Holy crap. The food is great here. I got fried chicken and Mac N Cheese and it was delicious. The flavor was well above what you might expect from this perennial dish. Mixed drinks are also excellent.
- Really great drinks. Downstairs is quiet & more intimate. Go upstairs if you want live music & a great bar atmosphere.
Beth GreenAugust 20, 2013Atmosphere is awesome. Drinks and food superb! Loved the service and the recommendations. Get reservations!- Shanon HounshellDecember 21, 2014Try the Anthym Spirit. Not to be cliche, but it's just what the doctor ordered.
Meredith BabbDecember 27, 2014Speakeasy vibes. Grand Chandelier cocktail is sweet but tasty. Very cool bartenders!
Serhii LutskoJune 17, 2016Tasty chicken, nice drinks, a little expensive (24$ per chicken and 7-9$ for beer)
Brad MartinJanuary 18, 2014Sit at the bar upstairs. I could watch them make drinks all day. Its a real bar.
Kyle WeeksDecember 22, 2013Talk to Andy upstairs and have home make you a drink off the menu. Always excellent!
Dave DonahueSeptember 28, 2015Food/drinks were very good but service was really lacking. Very slow, and they brought out our entrees and sides right before our salads were brought out. Similar thing happened to tables around us.
- Todd PackSeptember 29, 2013Sit upstairs by the window, and order the cookie dough egg roll for dessert.
Hot chicken isn't crazy hot and still one of my favorite versions.
- Food is okay. Did hot chicken and waffles and they were good! But our service was terrible for the second time, never was resolved. It's too bad that talking to multiple managers made no difference.
Melinda JohnsonOctober 12, 2013Amazing ambiance, great service, okay drinks, very disappointing food! Won't be back.
Stephanie MartinJuly 7, 2014Very slow service. It might just be our waitress. Good food, but waiting 15 minutes to pay your tab is a bit much.
Ilex PoundersSeptember 29, 2013Only visit this place if you want average food at high prices with a service staff that is untrained and very slow.
David ShackelfordAugust 14, 2013Very disappointing. Service and food were suboptimal. Whatever you do...don't get the gnocchi.
