The flavors danced on your tongue. Wished we had a few more sprouts. The Cuban Ruben was also a delicious flavor combo. I expected the sandwich to be warm but it was cold. The house made corned beef was perfection (lean, no fat and super flavorful)(wished for a tad more) slaw, fresh homemade pickles all very fresh and delicious! Don't pass on the house made chips, salt & vinegar. These were a delight! We loved it there and will definitely be back. The place had a great crowd and clearly a favorite for many locals. Many local options but this one did not disappoint!

Our party of four ordered two drink flights - Old Fashioneds (peach, blueberry, and the Dudley) and Mojitos (rose, lavender, pineapple, and raspberry) and three appetizer flights deviled eggs (bacon, shrimp, and Dorito), egg rolls (Tex mex, Philly cheese steak, and buffalo chicken), and calamari (Rhode Island, creamy, and sweet chili) - all delicious. We then ordered a meat trio with steaks and steak tips and a seafood trio with baked stuffed shrimp, scallops, and salmon. The steak was very tender and the salmon and shrimp were excellent. However - the reason I chose this was for the cheese wheel. I ordered the pasta flight with three types of pasta (gnocchi with Gorgonzola, ziti with vodka sauce, and spaghetti marinara with grilled chicken). The server wheeled out the two cheese wheels and lit them on fire to heat up the cheese. Then took each already prepared pasta and heated it up in the melted cheese. The pasta was average and the pasta and chicken were lukewarm but the experience was fun. My only complaint is that the pasta came out after everything else. But that's understandable. Dessert was cheesecake and a flight of espresso martinis (Reese's, Caramel, and original) and a great way to end the meal. Service was great and overall a nice dinner.

Then came the shrimp flight: bacon-wrapped shrimp with maple glaze, garlic butter shrimp, and bang bang shrimp. The fried shrimp sealed the deal. And then... steak time The ribeye with garlic butter and perfectly mashed potatoes? Absolute perfection. Everything was cooked just right and seasoned on point. This spot is a must-try, and they've got other locations too, so there's no excuse. Service was quick & the restaurant was small but cozy perfect for a date night.

With good reviews and a cool menu we dropped in and couldn't have been happier! We were pretty lucky as it was not that busy and we were able to get a table right away. The decor is eclectic and interesting. The staff came with a great smile and even better attitude; absolutely top notch! We started w the pretzels and beer cheese. Holy 6 pound baby Jesus they were good. They came out piping hot and the cheese was in a bubbling side dish. This isn't your typical dab of cheese in a plastic condiment container that is commonplace nowadays. I had the Arturo Sandoval (spin on a Cuban) as my entree and it was also fabulous and came out hot. If I was being critical, the pork was a wee bit dry, but that happens sometimes and it really didn't take away from the sando. Even the small side of pasta salad was outstanding. I'm lucky if I eat sides like that 1/100 times and this one I couldn't wait to finish. Great vibe, great staff, great food, and live music almost every day. Definitely gonna go back and if it's just as good will update to 5 stars.

Don't let the outside of this place fool you because looks are definitely deceiving. We were cautious coming to this place due to the appearance of the outside, but once we were in it was so much fun. Agus, aka rawbartender, was Ah-mazing and truly made the night fun. He was truly such a vibe!! I ordered the SpongeBob, which was Goslings rum, pineapple spice, ginger, lime, angostura bitters. Especially with the show that was put on, my drink tasted even better. It was a Smokey, yet smooth and refreshing drink! We also got the Snow White, on the sweeter side made with Pear vodka, orgeat, pear juice, lemon juice, cinnamon. And of course, we can't forget our schooling in tequila and Mezcal from Agus. He was very informative of what he was serving and we tried a few different shots. He gave us the rundown of how you're actually supposed to taste tequila. And I have to say I've never had an experience like that before. I wish the party didn't stop and I will definitely be coming back specifically for Agus and of course the drinks!

The bartender was fabulous . And made great drinks ! We just got drinks I got the peaches peaches which was pleasantly really good not to sweat or bitter , not to overpowering with peach flavour very well balanced . They also offer small bites / food.

They even had Christmas decor up this last time around. Nice touch! There is a hostess upon entry (typically) who is ready to promptly seat you. Bar, high tops, and standard tables are all available options. I have always felt the service was standard for a relatively busy establishment. Just the right amount of time. They have people working the front of the house, as well as people in the back running food. Efficient! The food has been consistently good. Not outstanding, but nothing to whine about. I will continue to come here on occasion for sure! Recommend and Bon Appetite!
