We found a table in the back room, and came in a little before they were setting up for a live band! I was a little confused by the menus; they had two separate cocktail menus, one seemed to be more of a traditional menu, while the other was like a "potions" themed menu. The prices were very reasonable for the cocktails and they were tasty, although a little sweet. We didn't eat dinner there but the night we were there, they had tapas which was fun. Would stop in for another drink!

Let me tell you, there was a not an ounce of food left on the plates! Multiple people at the table said that this was one of the best meals they have ever had and I have to agree. You just have to try it for yourself. I'm distraught that this meal is so far from home. Unbelievable. And that's just the food! Deserves a Michelin star. The ambiance is beautiful and moody, and the service is impeccable! Our waiter, Brenden, was amazing! He was genuinely so kind and knowledgeable about the menu, and you and truly tell that he loves what he does. Brenden added so much to the ambiance and dinner as well.

I watched the pups while my husband and daughter put in their order, then it was my turn. They have laminated menus where you write your name and tick off the item you want and any sides or customizations. I got the Pickle Club toasted. It had honey smoked ham, smoked turkey, bacon, and cheddar cheese. I opted for the parmesan bread and added lettuce, onion, pickle, and tomato. I had a root beer and some malt vinegar and salt potato chips along side. It came with a pickle spear too! I love me some pickles! This was a delicious sandwich! It was ready in no time even with a line of folks. I can see why this is a popular spot. Very casual and welcoming space. They have both outdoor and indoor seating. The patio was quite pleasant even with a heavier breeze.
