   Wonderful evening with friends. The Dad’s Hat Rye Smoked Old Fashioned was exceptional. The fried calamari appetizer was perfect and the Fish and Chips were beautifully done. Great atmosphere and very attentive service. Will definitely return and highly recommended

   Fun place to go, but limited menu. Only one Sauvignon wine option priced too high per glass and terrible acoustics. You could barely carry on a conversation without speaking very loudly.

   Apps came before drinks which is a big pet peeve of mine, but our server was clearly in the weeds. (In his defense, the bar is on the complete opposite side of the restaurant…. It’s FAR, and food comes out fast from that kitchen (which is great given how busy it was!)) We had a broken glass mishap (bad crystal ) that was handled by management (again, no sight of our server). My dining companions glass was also cracked (but luckily we saw this one BEFORE it broke in his lap!!) Overall, good food, mediocre service… but maybe I’ll enjoy it more if I don’t have to sit through my meal in a cosmo-soaked too and pants!

   Lovely renovations to space of restaurant Specifically requested "quiet table not near bar." Several people in party have hearing deficients. Restaurant noise was beyond deafening and boisterous. Those in my party could not comfortably exchange discussion. Our evening ruined. Otherwise food rather good, waitress wonderful. Won't be able to give good review ....

   The food was very good. Lots of great choices on the menu. The restaurant was very loud but it was a Saturday night. The service was exceptionally slow. Even drinks took 20 plus minutes. Our app came out after 30 mins and our dinner was right behind it. They just don’t seem to have an organized flow figured out yet
