There will be 10 variations of the classic Old Fashioned cocktail, with different liquors, non-alcoholic beverages, etc. Rich's music taste skews towards alternative pop, rock, folk & country, with a few other genres thrown in for good measure.

    Our second time at this restaurant and we will definitely be back for a 3rd. We got to meet the owner and he was lovely, and we were fortunate enough to have the same server as before. They have the best gluten free bread outside of being in Italy! Every meal we ordered was excellent, the drinks were so creative and delicious, and the apricot orange cake was the surprise treat of the night! Would recommend this gem to anyone, gluten free or not!

    Best gluten free bread I’ve ever had! All the food is amazing. The eggplant and yogurt dish was fantastic and so were the brussel sprouts. And the mousse dessert was really tasty. Great spot for a nice date night in Cap Hill!

    First time eating here, but not the first time hearing about this place. And the hype was worth it! Lobster Mac and Cheese, BLT + fried chicken, and fish & chips? Yes please! GREAT service, absolutely wonderful. Did not partake, but dessert menu looks divine.

    Was excited to go back to a/stir. I think they continue to develop their menu in an authentic way, while still having many of the old favorite offerings from when it was Capitol Cider. We started with the calamari and the Creole seasoning+ fish sauce combination was really delightful. The crab cakes were some of the best I've ever had and the side salad was delicious. My partner got the chicken suflaki skewers, which were similarly good. Really like what the chefs are doing!

    Perfect night for birthday drinks and dinner. Wild mushroom risotto was on point. The Paint Hills Farm burger was also incredible. Well done all the way around.

    Gluten free deliciousness. Many restaurants have gluten free options, it’s rare to have a gluten free kitchen. But the food is more than gluten free: it’s delicious! Genuine Mediterranean dishes, fresh fruit and vegetables, lean meat and lots of options. The deconstructed dolma and köfte sticks were particularly delicious. Lots of ciders, craft cocktails, plenty of alcohol free choices. This is a restaurant everyone can enjoy. Loved the art and the building. Chef/owner is a delight and it’s clear he is perusing his passion.

    Went for dinner based on reviews. Our food was unfortunately mediocre. The ambiance is lovely, the staff friendly, but food was a disappointment - lacking in flavours.
