Food was excellent but we had quite a long wait between finishing two appetizers and the waitress coming to take our dinner order. We ended up being there for over 2 hours.

My friend had originally wanted the apple fritter burger, but was told they didn't have the fritter buns and that they were looking to replace the item on the menu. We were saddened to here that! The fritter burger was really good!

One of the most amazing meals i've had in years and our server (Daniel) was incredible. We could have had a great just on the appetizers; fried brussel sprouts with a, teriyaki chicken bites, onion straws with a horseradish citrus dipping sauce. All the food is incredibly creative with surprising, but delicious combinations. I look forward to going back and trying some of the other selections.

You couldn't get me to go back there for free meal. Food terrible . Hostess wouldn't seat us for 20 minutes, no place to sit and wait, yet more than half the tables were empty. Food cold and greasy. Only nice thing was our waitress was friendly.

15 min wait to be seated, 3 hour dining experience (waiting on food for a good 2 hours), wasn't given water until about 20 min after sat. I'm vegetarian and they put bacon on my veggie Patty, thankfully I saw before eating. Server forgot one of our drinks entirely, never even reminded her again since didn't want to wait longer, friend's chair broke... That actually happened, and he fell on the floor. They gave us free cake as consolation, also said they would take some money off bill because they messed up my veggie burger, didn't. Only got the free cake they offered. Will never go back. Horrible experience.

We have been there several times and had ok meals. This time was not good. The service was very slow, we never received our salads. The waitress was clearly over taxed. and the waitress highly recommended the haddock which 3 of us ordered. The fish was so salty that none of us could eat it. We told the waitress and she asked to taste it and when she did she saw exactly what we meant. She apologized and took 20% off our bill. Unfortunately the 3 meals was 50% of our bill. We really like the atmosphere and the 50 beers on tap but unfortunately the food is not up to par.

We had a piece of plastic in my dinner. We brought it to the attention of our waitress who in turn spoke to her manager. The manager told her he didn't have time for that stuff and never came to our table. We then flagged down the manager and spoke to him about, but it was like he didn't have time for us. We weren't looki g or asking for anything because of it. But we were trying to say hey maybe something got stuck to my meal in the kitchen so they could be on the watch for anything else.
