Excellent food (I had the mussels) and staff. A bit loud but it’s a sports bar. Limited beer selection upstairs, but still good choices.

I made the mistake of ordering French dishes at basically a sports bar. The onion soup was watery and terrible. Their specialty, mussels, was tasteless. The mussels themselves were fine, but the classic sauce was bland.

Terrible experience! This is by far the worst restaurant experience. The server was tired, the drinks were late, the entrees served before the appetizers, the hanger steaks were cold, the burgers not cooked to what was ordered, no spoons for the French Onion Soup. When asked to speak with the manager, we were told that we would have to get up from our chairs and venture over to where the manager was. I can’t make this stuff up. We won’t be returning to this establishment.

I took my 3 adult children here on a Friday night. We had a reservation at 7 pm. They seated my 2 older kids while I was about 15 minutes late, due an Amtrak delay. Dinner was very good. The windows were open and vibe was really fun. The wine list was excellent, as was the draft beer list. My only complaint was the background music - it was incredibly loud - much louder than it needed to be to create a “buzzy” atmosphere.

We enjoyed the food, especially the mussels. Our waitress who was very nice was a bit disorganized. Maybe responsible for too many tables. Wine was not brought out til after the appetizer almost complete. Asked for spoon and additional bread, which showed up way too late. Would give it a second try.

Took a while for server to show up, he took our appetizer order and came back with our drinks. 25 minutes later he came back with to take our entree order and assured us our appetizers would be right up. 15 minutes later our entrees came with no appetizers. They then brought the entrees back, ran out with our appetizers which were cold. 15 minutes later they brought the entrees out, same ones, these were warm because they sat under a heat lamp. They put the salad under heat as well.
