    Pork belly cooking was rushed and very tough could only eat 1 as a main dish and gave up. Fries were cold and needed remade for 2 dinners. Tenderloin, smash burger, and Brussel sprouts very good. Service was very good.

    Went there for a late unplanned lunch on Friday and liked it enough to cancel our Saturday dinner reservations at another restaurant to go back. The bourbon mushroom burger is the best burger I’ve ever had. Full stop. The patty stands on its own, but the cheese and “mushroom gravy” puts it over the top. The bacon cheeseburger, the lobster roll, fries, and the potato roasties. All on point!

    People were friendly and courteous from the moment we walked in the door. Our server was attentive and friendly. He had to deal with one of our party being gluten fee. He ensured her food was appropriate for her condition. Food and drinks were very good and arrived in a timely fashion. Overall a very pleasant evening.

    We had a reservation at 6 and showed up a little early. We're seated right away. Our server was great. He explained the restaurant- portion sizes, drinks, specials. We both ordered burgers and they were delicious. Large portions and tasty drinks. Would definitely recommend!

    Loved our date night dinner! We sat at the bar because we arrived early to our reservation and the bartender was the best. You have to try the jive cocktail with gin. Dinner was great, service was great. Can’t wait to go back :)

    The food and service were absolutely outstanding! The filet was cooked perfectly and the bernaise sauce was the ideal compliment for it.
