There were 4 of us seated in the upstairs section for a friend's birthday dinner. Our waitress was personable and frank, not awkward at all. I appreciate that in wait staff.
The food took forever to come out, but our waitress warned us that the kitchen was backed up and she kept checking in to make sure our beers were filled. Speaking of the beers... delicious! I see some folks commenting here that there weren't enough IPAs on the list, and to that I say THANK GOD. Hop heads are ruining the beer scene in the US these days to the point that those are typically ALL you see on draft lists with a Miller Lite and a random stout thrown in. The beers at Cinderlands were balanced, crisp, bright, and so easy to drink. The Blithering Hayseed was my favorite.
My friends loved the pierogis and I had the brussel sprouts. They were done just right, the marcona almonds (one of my favorite things on the planet) were such a nice touch both with their buttery quality and crunch.
I'll be back for both the beer and brussels!
