This restaurant has quietly matured over time, settling into a reliable presence that rewards…read morerepeat visits rather than chasing novelty. We have dined here on several occasions, and it does seem to improve with age, particularly as a neighborhood destination for drinks. In warmer months, the rooftop is a genuine asset--an inviting spot for a pre-dinner cocktail or a relaxed evening out. On our most recent visit, a cold evening, we were seated immediately, a welcome efficiency that set a positive tone. The dining room's very high ceilings, while attractive, do contribute to a chill during winter months, making the atmosphere less cozy than one might hope on such nights. Service, however, was attentive and efficient throughout the meal. The bar continues to be a strong point. A well-made martini impressed my wife and was fully consistent with our prior experiences here. The French onion soup stood out as a comforting and well-executed choice, particularly satisfying on a cold night. Entrées were solid and competently prepared, though ultimately unremarkable--good, but not memorable. Overall, this is a restaurant that delivers dependable food and service without striving for distinction. While the kitchen does not reach for the extraordinary, the drinks alone make it a worthwhile stop, especially when paired with the rooftop in summer or a well-crafted cocktail at the bar year-round.

It's a seat yourself kinda place with a great vibe of music and location. Bathrooms are clean with cute "nuts" and "no nuts" signs on the door. I ordered the Italian beef with fries dinner and my husband and his dad ordered the fried cod with fries. Italian beef was little shy on the meat for the cost. Fries were lightly coated but definitely of the frozen variety. Beef was on garlic bread which is exactly how I make it at home. I added cheese. Fried cod was crispy and nicely battered. Cole slaw didn't taste fresh made. No bread accompanied the fish fry. Service was very good. She checked on us frequently. Lots of to go orders and by the time we left, every seat was full. Only had one coffee and two waters as well as an appetizer to share (forgot to get a picture) but our bill with tip was $96.

Hot and cold appetizers, $1 drafts, lots of waitstaff on hand, johnny on the spot bartenders, etc. In other words- everything was present for a successful new business launch. Both the bar and the patio facing Lake Antioch are beautifully decorated- the patio has a nice fireplace and water feature. Lots of tables with umbrellas and comfortable chairs. I can imagine that the sunsets this summer will be spectacular when viewed from the patio. Plenty of parking either in their lot or the shopping center next door. All of the elements are here to make this a go-to destination as either a sports bar or a nightclub. I have to question their choice of opening night live entertainment, but this small misstep is easily forgiven if they bring in popular area bands this summer. Wishing them success- with the effort that they have put in, I feel that they deserve it.

If I could put 0 stars, I would. The bartender, Erin, was…read moreterrible. Her service was almost as worse as her appearance. Basketball shorts, a-frame shirt & no bra. Seemed very unsanitary. Her lack of ability to serve a bar was only outshined by her lack of hygiene. The smell of armpits was more prominent than the urine smell permeating from the restrooms. Don't patronize this bar unless you have extremely low expectations. Even then, the "bar" is lowered to almost meet the dirty floor. Toppers, do better.
