By itself, a stave is nothing more than a piece of wood. But together, staves make the barrel strong. They don’t get the attention that the whiskey in the barrel does, but they don’t need it, either.

Extensive menu, plenty to choose from for anyone's taste. My friend and I decided to start by splitting the nachos platter; the menu should note this is big enough to feed four people! We'd already ordered dinners, so we asked if the kitchen could make them to go, and they did. It's a very busy place on a Saturday night, but the noise level was acceptable, and my friend and I were able to have a long conversation over several drinks; maybe it was where we were seated, up front in a corner, and not in the midst of so many other diners. We never did finish the nachos, which tells you something about how big it was. My Chilean sea bass dinner reheated the next day just fine, and it was delicious. Our server was just tremendous and very helpful. I would go here again just to try some of the other offerings, and there are plenty.

Server was absolutely terrible- restaurant was under staffed and the hostess continued to seat people at empty tables instead of giving an appropriate wait time. He had zero sense of urgency and every table was flagging him down. Extremely disappointed

Our dinner was very good. My only wish is that they would have more for those who have allergens. Many restaurants have options for gluten free but there aren’t many here. The tacos used to come with corn tortillas if you wanted them, but they got rid of those. Options would be really nice.

My wife and I came in for dinner and had a wonderful meal and great service by Susan. We’re fairly regular here at the restaurant and especially enjoy the onion soup and the menu variety.

Absolutely love the atmosphere and the food! We had the goat cheese balls and the Brussels sprouts as appetizers and they were delicious! We had the apple pecan salad and the grilled Cesar salad as entrees and both were absolutely delicious! Sue was a phenomenal server and we absolutely loved the experienced. Will be back again!
