| - I have to say I was a little skeptical of this place, the reviews are bad and I called for call ahead seating and the hostess wasn't the friendliest or the brightest. However, with much hesitation, I gave it a try. I was excited to try a new place. First the hostess didn't even acknowledge I was there, I had to say excuse me (I know she saw me there). It is a tiny place, or maybe cozy is a better word. Our server was attentive right away and through out the meal. The food however...mediocre. The alcohol selection definitely trumps the food selection. I had the beer can chicken sandwich with mac-n-cheese as my side. The side was so small, think I finished it in 2 bites, and it was just warm, needed to be hotter, the chicken was OK...it wasn't dry, but not overly flavorful either. It needs something on the sandwich like BBQ sauce or mayo, something was missing. My friend had the French onion soup and a wedge salad. The salad was huge, and she said the French onion soup was bland, a lot of salt needed to be added...it's hard to mess up soup. I think some of the food is over priced too for the portions and the taste. This isn't a great place but not a terrible place either. My favorite part was they have NoDa's Jam Session, it's on of my favorite local beers. I think this place has potential, but unfortunately it will take longer to get there than it should....you have to remember it is in the South Park area, people expect more.
