Love this place! Amazing offerings for food and beer. Leadership here is active in the community. And you can’t beat the patio. Great destination downtown to post up and enjoy good times over good brews!
The food is 5 starts but the restaurant is incredibly poorly run. Only open for dine in 5 days a week for dinner only (their voicemail incorrectly says they are open Tuesday too) and they only take reservations/orders over the phone when open those few days, making it nearly impossible. I don't understand why they make it so hard to pay for their services, but they make it very clear they don't care about their customers.
The place is big but their salad might not be the best compared to the other salad provided by other restaurants downtown
Went Friday July 22. The front end staff was far from welcoming. I walked in and wasn't greeted by either of the three employees that was standing at the podium. I asked were they still seating for dinner. The employee that did respond didn't part his lips.....he proceeded to just shake his head like a child. I called & spoke with Dana the manager on duty. Don't bother to ask how that went.....I can tell by her tone the call was pointless.
Walked in last night at 7:23 PM and was told by the male host that we could not be seated as they stopped seating at 7 PM (their hours say they close at 8 PM). My party of 4 just wanted a quick appetizer and drink and we would've been out of there around 8, but instead were turned away at the front door.
