| - Despite their misguided insistence that every wall have at least one flatscreen tv displaying some kind of sportsball, we like this place. The food and cocktails are lovely, and if you can avoid sitting in the echo chamber that is their main seating area, a pleasant dining experience can be had. I really do wish they'd make a choice--either you're a gastro-pub, or you're a sportsball bar. The twain shall never meet, in my mind. They seem to want to be both, and for us that is a barrier to being regulars.
However, every time we've had a meal here, the service has been stellar. Everyone who has waited on our table has been friendly to us and has taken great care of us. We've been here for brunch (do NOT order the yogurt and granola bowl, no matter how much you may want to. It's weird) and for dinner and lunch, and they do make sure to take the best care they can of a table.
Cocktails are well-made. The bartenders do know what they're about when they pick up a shaker. THE Manhattan is my favorite. The husband had the apricot whiskey sour, and while he enjoyed it, the stolen sips I had were especially delicious.
The food is well-prepared, and the quality has never wavered. Favorites include the deviled eggs (hold the bacon), the nachos (everything seems to be fresh. No can-openers, here) and their veggie burger--house made, bean-based, eats like a burger! These folks know how to French a fry of the shoestring variety. We're told the buffalo chicken mac 'n' cheese is quite tasty, and not too hot. Based on the yummy noises, they must make a fine meat burger as well.
Do check this place out. You won't be disappointed or hungry upon exiting.
