Food: Chick on Fire -- Have you ever taken a bite of something and couldn't even describe the flavor because it was just that good? That's what I'm always chasing when I try a new restaurant, and I finally found it. This sandwich is an explosion of flavor. The combination of lemongrass, slaw, and whatever magic they put into it creates one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. And don't worry, Wisconsin... it's not spicy. After tasting this, I'd order anything they put on their specials menu without hesitation. I even had to grab a photo with the chefs in the background. Well done, team! Service: Rin and her team were absolutely wonderful. I was in town for a funeral, and everyone showed genuine kindness and compassion. They offered their condolences, made great conversation, and somehow turned a difficult day into a much brighter one. Hospitality like that is rare. Ambiance: Exactly what a brunch spot should be--clean, cozy, welcoming, and full of character. I especially loved the EL bar. It's the kind of place you immediately feel comfortable in. This has officially earned a permanent spot on my list. Whether you're local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop here. You won't regret it.

It was an interesting take on a BLT and was SO GOOD. Came with roasted potatoes. My son ordered the pancakes and also enjoyed them.

The cold station had a great variety of hummus and dips served with pita bread--my son loved it so much he ate thirteen pieces of pita! I'm usually not a big fan of raw oysters, but they looked so fresh that I decided to try them... and I couldn't stop eating them. They also had traditional Easter red eggs and egg salad, which was a nice touch. The hot food selection was very impressive as well, including freshly carved prime rib and ham, roasted lamb leg, and sausages. There were also breakfast favorites like French toast and scrambled eggs. Desserts were excellent too--cakes, fresh fruits, and yogurt rounded out the meal perfectly. The setting is just as lovely--the restaurant has an outdoor patio that would be especially enjoyable in the summer, with a great view of the city skyline. It's also a perfect spot for photos. On top of all that, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a perfect dining experience and a memorable Easter celebration.

We also ordered chicken souvlaki- a little chewy but seasoned nicely. Portion sizes were excellent.

The vibes are pretty chill; but it's more like a bar so you can dress up a tad or not at all and you wouldn't stand out either way. The pretzel buns, fries, jalapeño poppers, and fried pickles are all great! Highly recommend the fried pickles. The only reason I have four stars is cause everytime I've come I think they overcook the burger until it becomes a bit too dry even though I order it medium. There are better burgers in the city, but it's a quick easy place with great sides.

We split cauliflower for an app, I had the baked cod, my husband had the cod sandwich and all were good. We will be back as this was a fun place!

I got the Manhattan off their specialty menu and my husband got their autumn barrel Manhattan. After trying both--highly recommend the one off their specialty menu. It was definitely superior quality. It's served over a block of ice so if you want it up, you may want to mention that when ordering. It tasted more like a classic old fashioned than a Manhattan but I'm not complaining because I love classic bourbon old fashioned cocktails as well. For a starter we got their much raved about bang bang shrimp. It came on a bed of greens and was good! For my dinner I got their seasonal chicken and dumpling soup and a side salad. Both were solid. The salad was definitely more ample than I was expecting. My husband got some sort of salmon alfredo pasta dish that came with roasted asparagus mixed in. I had a bite and he ordered well--it was decadently buttery and delicious. The service was super kind throughout our stay. Our server checked in on us regularly without being overbearing. Get to it!

Well the service was friendly and pleasant. Food was okay but the hot honey sandwich was weird. The…read morehoney was way more like spicy hot sauce rather than a sweet heat like it should taste. Completely overpowered the chicken cheese steak. The tables and surfaces including the main counter were pretty much all dirty. Not wiped off and covered with tiny sprinkles of corn meal or whatever the tiny grains are on the bread. The sandwich bags are way too big and a waste. Creates more trash for the planet. They use the giant bag for a regular half sandwich. Why bit get smaller bags? And they were all sticky on the outside. The honey must've gotten into the outside of the bags when they were wrapping them. Everything sticky. I laid said we were dining in but they wrapped and bagged each sandwich for no apparent reason. More wastefulness. The napkin dispenser was very dirty where you pull the napkins out. The soda machine was also out of order. So plastic bottles or nothing. We opted for nothing Took a very long time to make two hot sandwiches. They need to step up their game quite a bit. Might try again but not anytime soon.

This was at lunchtime when it wasn't very busy at all. I started to think they had actually forgotten about the order. There was also a pesky fly that just wouldn't go away. When the food came, it was pretty good. The thin crust pizza was very tasty and loaded with toppings. And the Greek salad, which came well after the pizza, was great. Fresh lettuce, Kalamata olives, tomato, feta and abundant Greek dressing on the side. We ordered the $4.95 protein-shrimp on top. Asked for them grilled and they came out beautifully. Correctly grilled and tasty. Large jumbo shrimp, a whopping 9 of them on top of a small salad. I'm guessing they may have been frozen, which is why it took so long to make the food. And perhaps they gave us extra since we waited so long. But the add on process is the same for either a small or large salad, so that could play a role. Overall, the food was tasty but the wait for it (despite ordering almost immediately upon being seated) was very long. Don't risk it if you're in a rush to get back to work! Will give it another try when we have much time to spare.

Stags Tavern opened recently in the old Sports Corner Bar & Grill location. I wasn't a huge fan of…read moreSports Corner, but was open to seeing if Stags was any different, especially when I saw they had $4 burgers on Mondays. My family came with and we dined in for dinner. I ordered a cheese burger with an extra patty and sour cream & chive fries, my wife got a cheeseburger with tater tots, my oldest kid got a cheeseburger with regular fries, and my youngest got a grilled cheese with regular fries. We also got cheese sticks and six wings with Jamaican jerk sauce. The cheese sticks weren't huge, but we got eight in the order. The cheese was on the sharp side, so clearly not mozzarella. They were fine, but not my favorite. I vastly prefer rub to sauce on wings, but I'm a sucker for Jamaican jerk flavor so I wanted to try them anyway. There was plenty of heat and some Jamaican jerk flavor, but like the cheese sticks, they weren't my favorite. I wouldn't get this flavor again if I get the wings again at all. The kids grilled cheese looks like it was a good size. He ate it without complaints. The tater tots, sour cream & chive fries, and regular fries were all good. The regular fries seemed like they might have been lightly battered and were my preference of the three. We all thought the burgers were great. The patties seemed like they were hand formed and not out of a frozen box, which is very appreciated. I thought the seasoning tasted like McCormick Montreal steak seasoning, which is fine in small amounts, but can overpower a burger real quick if overseasoned. The Monday deal is $4 for a quarter pound burger and you can add a side for $4 more. Make sure you specify that when you order and don't just say "a cheeseburger with fries" because they will charge you the regular menu price for a larger burger with fries. My wife and oldest son didn't think to specify the $4 burger and the server didn't clarify which size they wanted, so we didn't discover the mix up until we got the bill and it was $10 more than expected. They were able to adjust it for us, so it all worked out in the end. I look forward to coming again on Mondays for the $4 burger deal and checking out their other menu items and specials, especially the Friday fish fry.
