Their perch on Fridays is a favorite with a good-sized 6 pieces to start. If you order AYCE, they refill with 2 or 4 pieces. Sides are always good, especially the asparagus when they have it. Now the not so good! The French onion soup is perfunctory and not the real thing. They've taken clear shortcuts: not caramelizing the onions enough, using croutons instead of French bread, and sticking a slice of cheese on top and microwaving instead of baking the dish in the over. There is an artificial sweetness that has been added rather than coming naturally from the caramelized onions. So I would not recommend ordering the French onion soup.

This cute restaurant is located in Crown Point, IN, and it's best to use GPS to avoid getting lost. The venue is nice and perfect for photos, with plenty of space. The bar has a lively atmosphere, and the food is good, with large portions. I ordered the Classic Smashburger and substituted the protein for an Impossible Burger. I expected to receive two patties since I had to pay an additional $4.00. While it's my choice to be a pescatarian, I still think that an extra $4.00 for a single patty is excessive, both here and at any restaurant. This brought the price of my burger from $18.00 to $22.00, which reflects the current costs of dining out. Overall, our server was really nice and accommodating. She was patient with us as we decided on what to order and even shared her favorite dishes, which helped us make our decisions. The others in my party ordered a Mushroom & Swiss Smashburger and a Tuscan Turkey Sandwich. I must say, the turkey sandwich (Shaved Oven Roasted Turkey) had so much turkey on it that it could have fed us for Thanksgiving, but we weren't complaining! It was generous, and she happily took home the leftovers. The drink we had was blah, it had peach deep eddy's, elderflower liqueur (which I love), citrus and a few other ingredients. I'll pass on that the next time, I think it had too much elderflower and not enough peach. We all enjoyed our food and the ambiance of the restaurant. We will definitely return when we are in the area, and I will be sure to recommend this place to my friends who live nearby. I would also consider throwing a small b-day celebration upstairs in the lounge. Thank you, Culinary Misfits, for a great lunch!

I recently opened the bottle for dinner at home and after our friend raving about how good the wine is I had high hopes. Sad to say even with low hopes this wine falls short, it tastes like grape juice (and not the quality box juice kind either). The wine tastes so bad that after a sample glass we closed the bottle and haven't opened it since. We ended up going to the restaurant with a friend, against my better judgement, and after waiting 38 minutes for a table when originally we were told on the phone no wait, we left. During that 38 minutes I decided to look at the reviews on yelp, and am grateful we had the wait. Because if we had been seated and received the same treatment as these poor yelp reviews, I would've wasted a lot of money for a poor experience. 0/10 on this winery, DO NOT GET THEIR WINE EITHER unless you like your wine to taste like second hand grape juice

It's 21 and over due to Indiana law and the size of the space.
