Cozy downstairs with brick walls and dim lighting. Really nice for a quiet dinner. Felt a bit too dark for reading the menu, but it was a comfortable spot.

Nice spot for a weekday lunch. The portions are pretty generous &mdash; I usually end up taking half my entree home for later. Service is fine, and the food is consistently decent.

Solid burger with cream cheese and jalape&ntilde;o jelly. The combo worked well. Beer list is fine, has NA options too. Place has a cozy, lived-in feel. Good for a straightforward meal.

Came here for the game, solid vibe. The crispy garlic Brussels sprouts with ranch were the star. Honestly, the portion was huge for the price. We couldn&#39;t finish them, ended up taking half home.

Always a solid choice. The live music is a nice touch, and the bartenders really know their stuff.

The steak wontons were a total surprise at this pub. So crispy, and the dipping sauce was just right. A really unique little bite.

We came for our anniversary. The flourless chocolate cake was very good, and the creamed spinach was a nice, familiar taste. It was a fine spot for the occasion, though the lighting was a bit too dim for my liking.

The cheese fondue was spot on, and the chocolate one had a nice dark cocoa flavor. Our server knew exactly how to guide us through the whole fondue process. The manager checked in too, which was a nice touch. Solid spot for a group.

Been coming here for years, and the cocktails are still the main draw. That Japanese old fashioned? Always spot on. It&rsquo;s the one thing I know won&rsquo;t change.

Family-friendly spot with a changing table in the bathroom and room for strollers. Nice to have a calm place to actually finish your coffee.

The owner was super friendly and came by to chat. Their wine list has some nice, approachable options that paired well with our meal.

Came in on a rainy night and they were so nice about it. Super busy, but the host squeezed us into a couple of bar seats. Felt really looked after.

The homemade pasta portions are generous for the price. I got the carbonara and it was a solid meal on its own. The burrata starter is a bit smaller but still tasty. Good value for a casual dinner.

That tiramisu was the star of the show for me. The texture was spot on, creamy but not heavy, and it wasn&#39;t overly sweet. Just a really nice way to finish up.

Stopped by for a late lunch. The smoked Mary cocktail had a nice kick. Crab sandwich was packed with big chunks of meat, no filler. Sat outside, felt like a beach day. A bit pricey, but solid.

Been coming here for years, and the crab soup is still the reason. It&#39;s rich, almost buttery, and you get a good portion for the price. Always order it.

Been coming here for years, and the veggies are always on point. The carrots are my go-to, perfectly roasted every time. The pancake and trout are solid too. Just wish they&#39;d keep that daiquiri recipe consistent, it&#39;s hit or miss lately.

Stumbled in here on a whim. The rockfish special was the move&mdash;sauce was on point, not too heavy. Hummus and bread hit the spot too. Solid find.

Those hillbilly egg rolls are so good! Stuffed with pulled pork and collard greens, a perfect crispy bite to start. The rest of the menu looks fun too, lots of Southern twists.

The staff really knows their stuff when it comes to allergies. Our server walked me through the menu for my celiac needs and made sure the kitchen was careful about cross-contamination. Felt safe ordering here.

Late arrival, no reservation. Hostess actually came out to find us and offered a table if we could finish in an hour. Really appreciated that. The food was great as usual. Their wine list is solid, found a nice red that went well with the steak.

Great spot to watch the game. Their draft list is huge, had a couple local IPAs that were solid. Place was packed and loud, but that&#39;s the vibe.

Had the scallops and tenderloin, both cooked just right. The small plates came out at a nice, relaxed pace. My only note is the wine list felt a bit limited for the price point. Still, a solid choice for a date.

Smash burger was cooked just right, juicy and flavorful. Fries had a nice seasoning, not too salty. Simple spot, good for a quick bite.

Came here for a casual lunch. The booths are comfy and the staff is super friendly. Food was solid, but I was a little surprised by the bill for what we got. Portions could be a bit bigger for the price.

The server really knew his stuff. I asked about a wine to go with the steak, and his suggestion was spot on. Made the whole dinner click. A bit pricey, but that kind of guidance is worth it.

The keto breakfast off-menu was a lifesaver. Eggs and bacon were cooked just right.

The gumbo was fantastic, really packed with flavor. Just wish the portion was a bit bigger for what they charge. Still, the taste makes up for it.

The tea selection is impressive, lots of herbal options. I had the jasmine green tea and a small plate of their fresh vegetable spring rolls. The veggies inside were so crisp and vibrant, you could tell they were prepped that day. It was a really peaceful spot for a light, healthy bite.
