    The Thai Cabbage wraps and Cheese curds were delish and I had enough leftovers for another meal!

    The good is always wonderful. I love their burgers, and whoever I go with, they order and enjoy a pizza. Unfortunately, the acoustics are poor; it’s hard to hear dinner companions or the staff. And to make the matters worse, while I love kids, there are always kids screaming. I wish they would seat people with kids separately from adults without kids. I also wish the parents would teach - restaurant behavior. Kids scream, while their parents don’t say a word. Well, I guess the food is worth it. Yum yum!

    We asked the host to sit us in a booth away from the drafty glass window. She said there were no booths available even though we saw 5 booths that were empty. She sat us near the glass window and it was so very cold. I didn’t enjoy any part of being there because I was cold the whole time. Accommodate the customer. Simple. My review is directly reflective of the host’s behavior who doesn’t know what it means to accommodate a paying customer.

    I don’t ever write reviews but had to after this one, it was an awful dining experience in every aspect. Save your money and eat elsewhere.

    VERY noisy and cold if you have an unfortunate seat near the door. The drink and food delivery was slow. We ordered the cauliflower as a starter. Although it was cooked correctly the flavor was totally bland. It was requested that the dressing be tossed with the lettuce and chicken before going into the wrap but it was not done.

    The service was fantastic and the most perfectly pulled pint of Guinness I have had in a while! Nice atmosphere. We had pizza, chicken club ranch and cheese curds. The food was good, not great. We really liked the atmosphere and the location.
