| - (Caveat: I've only ever ordered off the Happy Hour menu, so I can't really testify to their main menu offerings. But with such great deals and delicious dishes on the Happy Hour menu, why order anything else?)
I just moved over to the west side, and in comparison to the east side, I'm not sure what's a bigger advantage of this side of town--the wide variety of outstanding restaurants or the lack of traffic congestion! Places like this make answering this question even harder, because it's darn good.
I've been here three separate times--once with my wife (Sheila F.) to celebrate our anniversary before we saw Phantom of the Opera, once with my buddies, and once with my wife and my MIL who visited from out of town. Honestly, the quality of my experiences keeps getting better and better, which is always a great sign for the future.
I've seen some complaints about the service here; maybe it was just an off night, because I have always had exceptional customer service here (and I'm so demanding that I have complained to McDonald's customer service folks). Case in point: we were pressed for time before Phantom, so we rushed our server along. Unfortunately, our order got slightly messed up--we received one dish we didn't order, and one dish that we did order didn't make it to the table. In response to that, the server made sure that the last dish was made and was packed up to take home, let us keep the extra dish free of charge, AND didn't charge us for the one that we didn't get to eat there! Some folks might stick their noses up and say, "They should have gotten it right the first time," but I'll take my 5 dishes for the price of 3 dishes and write a wonderful review on Yelp with a full tummy.
I've had a plethora of delicacies from the Happy Hour menu, which changes every so often. So far, I've had the Italian Sausage and Polenta, Duck Shepherd's Pie, Bruschetta, Italian Beef Stew and Polenta, the Lamb Sliders, the grilled cheese-esque item, the Croque Monsieur, and the Truffle Mac and Cheese. I'd get them all again in a heartbeat, and if you put a gun to my head and made me pick the worst one, it'd be the Duck Shepherd's Pie.
The draft beers change frequently, and the Happy Hour drinks are great too. I'm not a big martini guy, but my wife and MIL ordered a killer Apple Martini last night that was very, very good.
I know some of the reviews on here are a bit spotty, but I would encourage you to check this place out. I would never in good conscience encourage anyone to eat anywhere with bad food, and I hope that all who go there in the future have pleasant dining experiences. This place is definitely an asset to the Tremont neighborhood, and I'm definitely going to have my fingers crossed that they don't either close or change up their Happy Hour policies (it runs all evening long Tuesday-Thursday and at various points on Friday) because then I might not be able to go there as much as I would like!
