Service could be better. We sat at a table that wasn't set and then waited a bit for water. Our server was serving as the hostess as well, I think....and checked us in but didn't note we were a party of 4 and seemed surprised when we mentioned that. We ordered off the restaurant week menu, but after ordering, we were told that it was not available on the weekend. After a rocky start, it got a little better. Honestly, the food saved the experience. I would go back for the ambiance and food.

Thank you for the feedback. I will speak with the managers and your service team from that evening. I apologize for the mishap with the restaurant week menu. One of our fundamentals for the staff is pay attention to the details. It seems this did not happen during your experience. I will share your review with the staff and use it as a learning tool. Best, Tim L GM

Great service. Fries served with the frites were tepid. Frites and cheeseburger over seasoned-which is saying something for me as I like salt. Our first visit so we will give it another try this winter.

Our “Date Night” experience was great! Our party of four ordered the 2 plates/2 pours and we all left happy. The drink and food options were all tasty. The portion size was generous. The service was outstanding. Thank you, Whiskey by Howie. We’ll see you, again,.
