My best friend was in town and we were looking to grab a bite to eat before heading over to see Dueling Pianos. This place was nearby and I had heard good things about it.
It was busy and crowded and quite a few people milling around when we first walked in (surprisingly though, it wasn't loud until the live music started up). I was confused as to how seating worked because there did not seem to be a hostess, but there was no seat yourself sign either. Luckily, a few seats at the bar opened up, and we nabbed those right away. The bartender was very nice and attentive and we only had to wait a few minutes before he asked what we wanted. My boyfriend and I split chicken tenders and cheese curds and my best friend ordered the turkey club. Their beer selection was expansive and the prices were fantastic.
After about 10-15 minutes, the bartender came over and told my friend that they were unfortunately out of turkey. He was very apologetic and asked what else he could get for her. She decided on chicken tenders as well. My boyfriend and I got our food shortly after that. The cheese curds were great; they were fried in batter that reminded me of onion rings. They were not super greasy or heavy which was a major plus. The chicken in the tenders looked and tasted like actual chicken- not something you find very often anymore! I also really liked all the sauce choices they had available.
Because the kitchen had run out of turkey and because my friend had to wait so long for his food, the bar comped us a round of drinks and took half off her food. They really take care of their customers at this restaurant! I noticed the owner chatting to various patrons, many of which appeared to be regulars at the bar. If you want to go to a local bar/restaurant that has great food, good selection, and actually treats its customers like people, definitely check out Fountain. The only reason I took a star off was because seating was confusing.
