I love this place for brunch. They have a more casual vibe during the day, which I prefer. Reservations are a must, and you're more likely to get a comfy booth with one.
The most recent time we went was St. Patrick's day, and they had an additional menu for the occasion. I decided to get the smoked brisket and roast potato hash from the special menu, and it was so good. The Art House ale mushrooms were probably my favourite part of the dish, and I wish they'd put a bigger mound of them on my plate. The brisket was perfectly smoked, if a bit on the salty side, but I am a bit sensitive to salt so I'm letting it slide.
Aside from the great food and drinks, the decor is quite interesting. Especially the naked man's back above the stairwell. After all these years of going here, he's starting to feel like an old friend. I don't know what I would do if they ever got rid of him.
