The Irwin area is finally picking up the pace with all of the new restaurants opening up. I like seeing these new ventures and added excitement. My friend and I decided to meet here for a light dinner. When I arrived the place was fairly packed. The hostess asked if I wanted a high table or a low table. Apparently, the right answer was to opt for the high table because I was seated right away. The couple waiting ahead of me asked the hostess if she forgot about them and she replied that I chose a high table and they chose a low table and one was not available yet.
The happy hour drink and food menu is featured between 5-7. We arrived a few minutes before 7 so we were able to take advantage of a drink special and we tried the grilled pretzels which was served with a great tasting mustard sauce.
I must admit I didn't study the menu that well because I quickly decided to try the beef brisket sandwich. I did notice they have burgers, wraps, salads and a few high end entrees etc.
The brisket sandwich was ordinary but not in a bad way. I think I was expecting a little more flavor and the wow factor to kick in. My friend chose the chicken quesadilla's from the happy hour menu and the portion size was enough for a meal.
I like the atmosphere and design of this place. It was a bit noisy but I suppose noisy is the in thing these days. They have a great outdoor patio area complete with a lit fire pit and they have a stash of blankets on hand in case you feel a little chilled.
I plan to make a return visit to try out the menu again. I hope this isn't one of those places that cant find it's niche and keeps making changes to get there.
