   It was dead when we arrived just after 11 am on a Sunday - unheard of during brunch weekend hours! I ordered the eggs Benedict. It came with bacon rather than ham - I asked (as I dislike bacon), and apparently, they were out of ham and made a command decision to put something else on it without asking me first. My eggs were hard, not poached, and whoever thought of putting eggs and hollandaise on top of sweet cornbread should rethink that choice. It was all just bad. My husband had steak and eggs; while he said he was okay, it was not worth the $40.

   The was scare in quantity and quality. You play for everything If your kids starving don’t ask for bread!! 5 Dollars for some toasted pita bread no cheese same price!! We asked server if the chicken sandwich was spiced for a nine yr old. They said no! It was very spicey. go to Chik A Fil for a better sandwich. The menu said that fish and shrimp Come with Cole slaw!! It arrived in a small McDonald ketchup sampler loaded with milky mayo and a few strands of cabbage! The fish and chips were so oily and more breading than cod! fried shrimp was hard to bite into because crust was again greasy and hard . The bill was expensive so don’t go hungry you’ll pay New York prices and leave hungry.

   Looking for a good hamburger and a beer! The bistro hamburger was cooked perfectly! It just didn't have any discernible cheese! Very small and bun was stale! I did enjoyed the beer $10 for a pint ! The menu listed the hamburger at $17 but they charge me $18! Nice atmosphere! Service was quirky youthfulness! I didn't feel connected but she did a good job! Very responsive! My wife loved the crab cake sandwich at $25! I think burtons burger is much better! We chose the place because it was convenient located! After spend $75 for ver mediocre food, I was a little disappointed! I think I could find something i could like at an affordable price! The fries wend beyond pedestrian quality! Zero quality! The sad part was I was still hungry afterwards! The waitress certainly try to up sale !

   Nice ambiance, vibe and decor. Food was horrible and not worth the price. Worst fried shrimp I’ve ever had. We also ordered ribs. The flavor was tasty but they were dry as well as the cornbread.

   We have our standard order, the large margarita pizza with the addition of sausage and the apple pear side salad. The combination is really good. If the pizza couldn’t get any better, we thought it was one of the best, maybe we were hungry. We like sitting at the bar because our food is delivered so fast keeping the pizza piping hot.

   Server was great- very attentive, polite and friendly. The wait for food was a little long, and the noise level was a little too loud. But the food was great- pizza and salads were delicious!

   We had a group of 8 in town for a football game. Matt was our server and did a great job. Three of us enjoyed a unique fig & black pepper old fashioned. Everyone’s food was delicious- fried shrimp, fish & chips, pizza, burgers (regular size & mini), salad, onion straws, salmon. We’ll remember it and hope to return.

    The food was excellent and M-F 3-6pm is social hour with discounted drinks. It is definitely worth checking out and highly recommend it. IT is next to Imax Theater, dinner and a movie in one stop.
