| - Went on a rainy Saturday around 1 PM and the place was fairly crowded. There were no seats at the first floor bar, but the hostess said we could try the bar on the patio upstairs. After grabbing some stools from nearby tables, we had our space at the upstairs bar. The place was nice, with that trendy, exposed brick kinda look and a "roof" that was pretty high up giving the patio a nice, big - almost outdoor - feel. The "roof", however, was not really intended to keep all of the elements out as there were a number of leaks around the room, including one behind the bar causing the bartender to put on a garbage bag, "Steeler Game style", to stay dry. It was near the end of brunch and there was a Bloody Mary Bar set up, though I didn't see anyone partaking. Carafes of mimosas, though, were being poured at what had to be a record pace.
My friend and I each ordered a beer from their nice beer selection while we decided what to eat. Both of us concluded that basic cheeseburgers were in order. Basic is the best description for what we received. It was good, but nothing special, done to nearly the temperature ordered (which is far better than many other places, including those who have burger in their names!) on a great tasting, very fresh bun. It was well worth the price. The house-made chips were tasty, but a little soggy from the frying oil. The service was fine, but the music was so loud that my friend and I were having a difficult time hearing each other.
I will definitely go back again, but next time I'll be ordering some mimosas!
