Overall a good experience. Open late when most other places are closed in Hickory and compared to…read morethe national chain restaurant across the way this is leaps and bounds better. Good selection of typical bar foods, with decent sized portions and multiple TV's going so you can keep up on whatever event you may need to. Service might have been a little slow, but the place was very busy being one of the few open, so I give the staff a pass, as they were running around trying to keep up. If you need a late night snack this is the best place in Hickory, if other places are open and you have choices, this would still be a good stop to check out,

Our waitress, Elaina came by and got our drink order. She returned promptly with drinks and we ordered. When the food was ready, Shane actually delivered the food. I asked him a question that he left to find out. Shortly he sent another person with the answer because he had gotten pulled away - wow, nice. Elaina then also came by and checked on us as well. Seemed everyone was working together to offer great service - don't see that too much anymore.

I had concerns about the menu with part of it seemingly bar food and the other part seemingly fine dining. Risotto? Short ribs? Can a new place pull this off? Well they did and at a very reasonable price and portion!! I actually had their house made Mac and cheese with 2 add ons from a nice list of options. My dining partner had their short ribs and substituted extra veggies for the mashed potatoes. I tasted it and it was perfect. The stuffed jalapeno appetizer was very good. I gawked at platters of other foods going by and it all looked delicious! Now this place has a very nice patio for cooler weather and a huge main dining room. The surprise was the bourbon room, which looked like an old-money private club, and across from that a pool room with 3 pool tables. This is really a nice place and I wish the owners well! Sorry for the long review! Can't wait to come back and try other things and cold frosty beverages!

I tried being cordial and offered to stop what he found so annoying he still demanded that I pay my tab and leave.

Not a family friendly environment at all.
