    No one in there on a Sunday game day for the Seattle Seahawks. The only food available was deep fried. I was not impressed with the atmosphere of the place. I am not sure if the wife and I will ever come back

    This....is what I call good service!

    I'm in love with this hole in the wall! I've been here maybe twice years ago...but my favorite bar just closed down and every time I drive past this place I want to stop and go in! So I finally did...Kimmy, the bar tender, is kind, personable, very attentive ... and knows how to make a drink! The cook has his shit together. I found my new wing place... and they are not over priced! Fuck yeah! The bartender (kimmy) found someone wallet and ran out and caught the owner before they left. Excellent pool tables...this is my new favorite bar!

    Been coming here for about 6 years off and on now because it's in the neighborhood…read more Good beer selections, good pours on cocktails, however cocktail consistency varies depending on who's working. The food is my favorite part. I can have a beer anywhere, but the food is actually pretty on point minus the nachos, sad to say. Always overcooked, cheese is hardened and well beyond melted, but a massive portion in size. The sandwiches are amazing, the quesadillas are amazing, have yet to make it there before breakfast ends but I'm betting it's probably pretty good. Staff are friendly, efficient, and do well on checking to make sure you're not waiting too long for service without being too bothersome. It gets a little loud, busy and crowded on nights especially on the weekends, but that's typical bar atmosphere. Patio seating is nice on sunny days like today. 5/5 for a hometown spot in the neighborhood.

Years ago when she ran this bar it was the best in town and she would not let this food to be served. I will go the Huckleberry that she owns with two other steller partners and enjoy their food. The cook should check the soup pot on a regular basis to ensure that the chowder is hot and ensure that the fish is at least 135 degrees and let it warm up to over 140 degrees before serving. Jamie if you still own the Top please look into the kitchen and bring back your great menu.

Things are a little crazy during the COVID phased reopening program, but we didn't let that stop us. There are booths set up at the entries to the building, where they are taking everyone's temperature and assuring you have a mask. If you do not have one they will provide one. Since attendance is currently low, we were able to get a seat immediately. We tried the Tandoori Chicken Skewers and were pretty happy with it. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the food came out promptly. The decor is modern, interesting and fun. Everything has that "new casino" vibe to it. I'm looking forward to returning here and trying some more of the menu. I'm holding this one at 3 stars for now. It's a solid choice for good food.

    I can't fault it. The food exceeded my expectations…read more It's not fine dining by any means but it's good quality, good flavored food.. very well presented. Super friendly service and social distancing guidelines being adhered to. I ordered 6 wings, 2 flavors (garlic and honey bbq) honey bbq was really delicious. Garlic wasn't as flavored but still nice. We ordered the beer battered mushrooms which were made really well, batter was crispy and not soggy. Bourbon chicken sliders, slight spice, great crunch, nice flavor. Overall, the casino generally is an awesome place to go right now and this sports bar is great.

    I really hate to write a negative review about one of my favorite restaurants, but this experience…read morewas so disappointing. This restaurant has been one of my favorite places for the past two years. I've celebrated birthdays and anniversaries here, and I've recommended it to countless friends and family because the food and service have always been excellent. Unfortunately, my visit today was very different. My friend and I came in for lunch, and our server, Amanda, was noticeably inattentive despite the restaurant being nearly empty. She took our drink menu before we had finished looking at it, and my friend had to get up and find her to ask for it back. Throughout the meal, it was difficult to get her attention. When our food arrived, I asked for the lemon I ordered because they forgot it which is not a big deal to me they usually forget my lemon when I visit. She quickly dropped it off and walked away before I could order drinks. We then had to ask a second time just to place our drink order. The bigger issue was the food. Both seafood boils were lacking flavor, and mine seemed unusually watery, as though excess water hadn't been drained before the seasoning and butter were added. Since two seafood boils cost well over $100, I politely asked if there was any way to add more seasoning. I was respectful and apologetic because I genuinely dislike complaining about food. Amanda interrupted me before I could finish explaining and told me they couldn't add seasoning, only provide a side of seasoned butter. That would have been fine, I simply wanted a solution, but being cut off and met with an eye roll felt extremely rude and unprofessional. She then suggested the watery consistency was caused by the extra corn I ordered. I order extra corn every time I visit and have never experienced this issue before. After that interaction, she largely avoided our table. When she eventually boxed our leftovers, she immediately dropped off the check and walked away again. Upon reviewing the bill, I noticed I had been charged for the side of seasoned butter that was provided as the solution to the flavor issue. When I asked about it, Amanda explained that I was charged because I had ordered an extra side of seasoned butter. However, I hadn't ordered it as an addition to my meal, it was offered as the fix for food that she herself acknowledged was watered down. When I expressed that I felt it was inappropriate to charge a customer for the remedy to a quality issue, she responded that she could ask a manager to remove the charge if I wanted. By that point, I was very frustrated that this was even a charge in the first place and offered to just pay and leave. She quickly walked away and just removed the charge without consulting the manager like she previously mentioned which I found to be odd. This is the first negative experience I've had here, which makes it especially disappointing. I've always loved this restaurant and have recommended it to many people over the years. Sadly, after today's food and service experience, I'll likely be looking elsewhere for future celebrations and gatherings with friends and family. I've included some photos of the many visits my friends and family have had here over the years for lunch, birthdays, anniversary celebrations, etc. Please work on your customer service.

    First, I absolutely love the open mic night here and dance floor was so much fun…read more Our server was great! She made sure our table had plenty of water and always made sure our sips never went dry. My issue was the food. So to keep me safe I always order a side salad, but I needed a little protein so I also ordered some grilled chicken on the side with ranch dressing. Most of the way through my salad the started to turn in my stomach. Once the spicy chicken came out, I requested to send it back, due to the menu not specifying that the spicy chicken is only grilled chicken with Sriracha sauce poured it all over it. The menu specifies grilled with spices. Not true unfortunately. I decided to eat the grilled chicken that was plain and again my stomach started to turn. I honestly couldn't figure out if it was the chicken, the salad or the ranch dressing that was not sitting right in my stomach and boy! Let me tell you later on that evening. I ended up in the middle of the night not in the best situation. I unfortunately had food poisoning of some sort. I still think this is a great establishment to go and hang out to hear musicians, artist, and entertainers play and they have a great selection of drinks. I am taking a drawback on ordering food. As always, stay safe out there and thank you for following my reviews. I appreciate all the support. See you at my next bite.

This was on the…read moreway to another plan in the area and we had some time to kill, so we stopped in for a quick drink and to check it out after seeing how close it was. Parking lot is super small, but they do have ample street parking right out front and we found a spot no problem. This bar is definitely on the cozier side, with maybe a total of 30 seats if I had to guess. There's about 10-12 seats at the bar and then the rest is booth seating on the opposite wall. The selection was rather decent for drinks, with them surprising us with not one, not two, but FOUR hard cider choices for my husband. Most places only have 1-2, and they usually are ones he doesn't like, but he got lucky here. Another bonus: strong pours. :) I saw a menu for food, but it was only a few choices - I forget what they all were, but I know one was a cheeseburger. So, probably don't plan to come here stuffed, but they do have snacks should you need it. This spot is definitely on the lowkey side but it was a comfortable stop. We're not in the area too often, but we would return if we were.

The times I was here with Steve we usually stuck with the beer selection and with what was on tap there. It's mostly local beers in the metro area and I remember the variety of that list being pretty generous. So that was all good. We even got some food to eat here. I have had their burgers here and liked them quite a bit. The classic type burger seems to be the Park Burger and along with fries it proved to be a good meal. Definitely a nice establishment for the neighborhood!
