The pretzel arrived piping hot and was enjoyable, but the fries and aioli were the undeniable standouts. The burger was solid, though it stopped just short of being exceptional. Service was underwhelming. Our server was so relaxed that it came across as detached rather than welcoming.

It was time for Town Hall's annual "barrel aged beer" week so of course I had to stop in. They do a…read moregreat job and always have some new recipes every year. All their "non bourbon barrel" beers are really interesting and ended up being really fun. All-in-all I ended up trying 9 beers this year and the only ones I wasn't a fan of was the ice wine. I hadn't had food there before, though. The pretzel is not the type I usually like. It's a denser, paler dough and stuffed with cheese. Personally I'd like a traditional Bavarian or pub one. The sweet potato fries on happy hour were excellent, though. That said: it is blasphemy to serve them with ranch and only ranch. Need a garlic aioli and/or marshmallow fluff to make it a must-order. You know I'll be back. Maybe not for food, but hopefully before the next beer week.

Wonderful service from right when we walked in, beautiful interior, friendly service, and great food. The wild rice fritters were a unique appetizer that were very tasty.

The service and food were actually good. Our waitress was very nice and took care of us pretty quickly. The beer was good and cold. My husband had a black bean burger with a side salad. I had a quesadilla with black beans. It was hot and very good. I didn't care for the greens that came with it. It was the right time of day to be served quick early on a Saturday. It worked out perfectly to have a drink and quick bite to eat before a game.

Walked in and seated ourselves. Waiter brought over menus pretty quick and took our order. Staff was friendly. Food and drinks didnt take too long, drinks were pretty good. Wings were not good at all, I got the jerk dry rub and just no flavor. The shrimp were decent, and the chicken and Mac n cheese was good. I think the crowd was dictated by the show, not sure what the normal vibe is there but I did like the inside of the restaurant. I probably wouldn't eat there again but id stop in there for a drink.

We had to ask an employee and they showed us to the upstairs area where they had a ceremony and reception area. This was a more intimate wedding and the space for it was very nice for it. They were able to decorate it so it was very elegant. The bar did get busy during happy hour but they moved along quickly. The food was served buffet style. We got salad, mashed potatoes, pizza and a choice of beef or chicken. The portion seemed small to me. They did offer more pizza later on in the night. The dance floor was roomy enough for the people that were there. We had such a great time celebrating here! Parking was not bad either. They had a few lots and street parking around but they also did rent out a lot that we used that night. They had a family member shuttle too since it was freezing that day! There are also hotels around the area for those who decided to stay.
