| - I've been here twice in the past two weeks, and had good experiences both times, although the first (5 stars) was slightly better than the second (4 stars), thus averaging out to a 4.5. The first time I came with one other co-worker, and we were seated near the front of the restaurant. The service was really awesome, and after our waitress discovered it was our first time there, the restaurant manager popped by to offer us some complimentary appetizer (I think it was the house braised short rib firecrackers - really good) and chat with us a bit. I was super pleased and impressed! My co-worker and I both ordered the same thing, the candy house salad with chicken, and we both agreed afterwards that it was so good... I would definitely order it again. It had sugared walnuts, mango, black fig, feta cheese, roasted red pepper, and maple-pommery vinaigrette, and was slightly sweet, which made it delicious.
The second time, I came here with a group of 7 people. We didn't make a reservation beforehand, but luckily didn't have to wait at all and were seated at a large table near the back of the restaurant. This time, I ordered the epic cheeseburger (with three different types of cheeses melted on the patty), and got a side of parmesan truffle fries (per Yelp recommendations) for an extra $3. To be honest, I ended up being a little bit let down by the fries - they were good, and the truffle flavour was pretty strong, and I still ended up enjoying them, but I was expecting the cheesy flavour to be stronger, so I was a bit disappointed. I will say that the burger also really good, really cheesy, really thick, and really juicy... but really greasy. Didn't stop me from enjoying it thoroughly though. Service was a bit lacking this time. Perhaps because of where we were seated, I guess it was hard for the staff to see us, so we felt a little bit ignored.
The food is definitely pretty good, I think everyone in my party enjoyed what they ordered. And the prices are pretty decent as well, because I think everything on their menu is under $20, and they have different drink specials every day. It's a big, spacious restaurant with pretty cool decor (mason jar lights, wood, etc.) and quite honestly seems like a cool place to chill and grab a few drinks at after work. Would definitely recommend checking this place out, super fun and awesome vibe, and I'm hoping to return soon!
