Carla OrtizJune 29, 2017Love this modern, yet rustic restaurant. The Barcelona cocktail was amazing and the everything we ordered was extremely tasty. We had the pulled pork tacos, short rib burger, and Cajun burger. Yum!
Andrew CMay 23, 2018Place was empty, but plenty of staff at inside and rooftop bars... overall, loved it and felt very Brooklyn-ish with the industrial vibe and unique drinks and American foods (on point, but standard)!!- Hano AApril 3, 2016Fried chicken, duck quesadillas, bread and maple butter, anything with tuna, shrimp curry. I tasted all of these at dinner with friends and everything was great!
Brian MooreFebruary 25, 2018Delicious food and full bar. It's not too loud on a weekend night, which is always a plus for me. You can also eat at the bar if it's busy, just ask.
Lauren IanuziNovember 20, 2012if you like cider, go for the black cherry gluten-free one! so yummy! the artichoke and red pepper dip is amazing as well - great for a light app with drinks!
Hollie SickJuly 2, 2015For what you would expect the food is relatively inexpensive. The salad portions are huge. Tried the Guinness cake and it's now my favorite cake ever.
Rebekah CornellOctober 29, 2014The food was absolutely amazing and the venue is beautiful! The prices are very reasonable as well!
Nicole FormicaJanuary 2, 2015Great atmosphere! Be sure to try the bourbon apple cocktail. All plates are quite tasty, get a few and share with friends.
Divya MulanjurJuly 24, 2016The corned beef and hash was really good. But service is super slow. The restaurant decor is very modern and fancy.
Robert GoldenJuly 15, 201448 different draft beers to choose from. House salad is good. Scallop dish is amazing. Nice crowd & atmosphere...
Ryan BlairOctober 30, 2021Just about everything! Brussel Sprouts if you can believe it! Great selection of local beers!
James CastiglioneAugust 24, 2014Steamed buns, All American Burger, Braised Short Ribs. Oh My! Great beer selection.
Kaleigh SJanuary 9, 2013True, the menu isn't as progressive as the decor would lead you to believe, but that doesn't mean the food isn't good. Try the duck quesadillas with marscapone and cranberries for something different.- First bite of Kobe burger defined my whole meal: spectacular. Try Thai chicken wraps as well.
Carrie WeiseJanuary 9, 2020Had cauliflower for app, as well as lettuce wraps. Lettuce wraps were delightful. Had the BALT for my entree and it was ok.
Cajun burger, Cajun burger, Cajun burger! (On an everything roll) YUM
Tubby TeeSeptember 25, 2012Had the America Burger at the bar. Nice view of Cobbs Hill Park at night. Burger was tasty, service, excellent
Monica CullenOctober 9, 2017Cocktails taste like water :/ stick with wine 🍷...the food is good and pairs better with it !
Lauren HearyNovember 29, 2012The restaurant is absolutely beautiful! Fried chicken was also awesome and huge portion.
If you're looking for a light bite with your date, get the Steamed Buns & Veggie Fritters!
Kathy Barry-WagnerJuly 20, 2013Omg.fabulous food! And Matt is the best waiter ever! Best accent and soo charming!
Michael SmithOctober 26, 2012The tall tables are no good for tall people. With your feet on the "footrest" your knees hit the table, and feet on the floor your shins hit the footrest.
Outside deck. Kristy the bartender. Calamari, either the appetizer or the salad.
Kartik SathappanSeptember 23, 2014The black mojito is the only great thing in the menu. The duck quesadilla appetizer is good. Everything else is average. Burgers are greasy and scallops are just wrong. Also the veggie burger is awful
Jean RyanMarch 19, 2013Matthew is the best. Don't let his British accent distract you from the menu.
Frankie GDecember 22, 2012Nice place, extremely weak drinks. Jack and coke...too much coke....Bacardi and coke too much coke !!!
Susan LeeApril 28, 2013Food was good, but service was great. Busy wknd bar crowd makes it a bit too noisy for a romantic meal.
