| - We went at 6pm on Saturday, and the place was fairly busy and not at all empty. I'm going to specifically mention a number of things other reviewers have complained about, because we saw none of them. Considering they're only been open for a little while, I'm chalking up those issues to growing pains.
As we walked in we were pleasantly greeted and led to a table in a large room with a giant faux oak tree and plain walls -- it's clear they are still decorating from the previous failed restaurant.
Menu was nicely presented with a variety of gastropub options and had clearly marked prices, options, and Gluten Free markings.
Our waitress immediately introduced herself and provided drinks.
After looking over the menu, my wife ordered the Brie and Prosciutto Burger medium well with fries, and I had the Bacon Burger medium with fries. The Bacon Burger is a mixture of beef and pork belly (that's the same cut as bacon is, btw.)
My wife has a deadly food allergy. Deadly enough she carries epi-pens with her. The waitress took careful note, and it was *clearly indicated to the kitchen on the ticket* (a big bonus, and one reason she got a very nice tip!)
Food arrived promptly, with no fuss. Both burgers looked great, and the fries, buns, pickle, and lettuce/tomato/onion were all fresh. My burger was medium, but so was my wife's. Both were flavorful and tasted good, mine felt a little charred on the outside but still had good flavor. We were quite happy with the food and decided at that point to come back.
We're looking forward to trying other menu options and we'll bring friends.
(The food gets 3 stars, and the staff's concern about my wife's allergy is worth the extra star)
