A shell of its former glory…read more I grew up hearing my parents rave about this place, they were nearly regulars a few years ago at their old location. I tried my brothers steak and we both agreed it was the most unique tasting steak we'd ever had in a bad way. My mom ordered a dish that came with rice and it seemed as if it was a type of quick/instant rice and her meal wasn't enjoyable. She said the quality went downhill from previous years. I ordered the duck, and I could hardly cut it, it wasn't tender, it was extremely chewy and the flavor was almost tasteless and what I could taste wasn't good. The sides were better than the duck sadly. My little brothers got burgers and fries and I will say the fries easily best the rest of the food with their salt and skins still on. The prices are steep and are comparable to other "fancy" middle tier restaurants, another side note all of our dishes for 6 people came out within 10 minutes which says something. I wish our experience was different.

They offer lots of different styles and you can order a flight of four, which is great. My favorite was the Pumpkin Ale. They also have several different local wines available. We'll definitely be back to try their food and more of their beers!

And then when we entered we understood that it was a perfect blend of both. To be short, we really liked this place. They have a bit of everything, but focusing more on your typical bar fare, but done really well. In fact, these were probably the best wings I've had in a looong time. Another fact, we enjoyed our lunch so much that we came back a couple of days later for their burgers, which were also great. I think my favorite bites were definitely the nachos, though. It was exactly what you want in plate of nachos: large portion of melted cheese, meat and all of the toppings that come standard. I don't think you'll go wrong with whatever you order here.
