The food was good. Had the beef tenderloin for my birthday but it was underwhelming. The burgers were a real treat. Waitress was good after the first few encounters. Drinks were good.

Slow service! Food is just average, nothing special, but prices are on a higher side. Ordered Caesar salad with shrimps and found that they put shrimps with tail on it!(( Server messed up our bill twice. Also they have construction work going on, and all windows are covered with drywall, so you don’t have any window view and they never mentioned this anywhere!

Dear Slava, We are sorry that you had some service issues during your time with us. We take these concerns very seriously and will speak with our staff to ensure these issues are not repeated.

The space is wide open and very loud and bright. Felt like a warehouse. The food was sub par, more pub like but they were trying for a bit higher end feel. Unfortunately the food didn’t match. I’d suggest just go with a pub/beer joint and not feature it as more than that.
