   We had reserved a table for 8, but there was no service at all. No one came to our table to ask if we needed anything, so we had to walk up to place an order every time. It's overpriced for zero service. The only reason we come here is because it's convenient from our office.

   We wish someone explained that the only way to order is by QR code on the table. Once ordered, items came quickly but no other service provided throughout the meal. Pay on line and leave. Only 2 points of contact—seating you at the table and bringing food to the table. No one checks on tables. Wanted more napkins but no one is actually waiting on tables. Seems to be the system in place, not an issue with the wait staff. Staff was friendly.

   This was our first time and we were meeting friends who were late. The server and manager were awesome. They seated us quickly, service was great. The food was ok and it is really loud. The beer was good. It was very crowded and when service got slow, the waiter and manager stopped by to apologize. They were the highlight of the experience.

   Everything was great except the cost of a glass of wine is very overpriced. I understand it is a brewery, but some people just prefer wine and it is nice to give them a reasonable option when their partner prefers beer.

    It is self order from your phone and it’s a hassle! We were a group and had to order as a group and although everybody can order from your individual phone, it is just a big pain! When the staff brought the food in the beer, they were great, but I’m not sure why they can’t just hire a person to take the orders and offer personal service. Some people ordered things by mistake. A pretty cool place with pretty good food and good staff, but the whole ordering process just doesn’t work for me.
