| - If you're looking for totally overpriced food, SLOOOOOW service and a place that somehow runs out of hamburgers AND wings on a Saturday night, this place is for you.
Went with a larger party (mostly adults, some kids) Saturday night. Got seated downstairs (the 'restaurant' part) promptly and got drinks pretty quickly. The drinks and beer were fine (beer was okay, not great).
The problems were many: Look, I get that large parties will obviously take more time as they try and time the food so it all comes out relatively close together. But when I say slow service, this was SLOW service. The food took at least 45 minutes to come out and most of it was warm.
They have what I would call a non-traditional menu. They try and position standard-fare food as upscale as they make it with different ingredients than traditional bar food. But at the end of the day, it's still bar food. Worse, it's really expensive for what you get. I ordered the ribs. For $21 I got maybe 5 ribs (not even half a rack!??!) that were heavy on the seasoning and very dry. Honestly I've had much better ribs at Texas Roadhouse for $5 less and for a full rack. Everyone who got the ribs said the same thing: small portion, very dry and over-seasoned and a side that consisted of a small piece of cornbread and a few tablespoons of collard greens.
Several ordered scallops and commented that they were gritty (you could taste the sand) and bland.
Here's the kicker: we had kids there and the menu is very limited already. But they then proceeded to tell us they were OUT OF BURGERS. What?!?!? How the hell can a bar in Cleveland be out of one of the few basic things they have on their menu on a Saturday night? That's just poor management.
So that basically left one choice for the kids: wings. Four of the kids ordered wings. About 25 minutes later the server comes back and says 'we're also out of wings'. Is this an F'ing joke? You ran out the two items on your menu that kids like and probably 2 of the most basic items ANY restaurant should have on hand?
The server worked with the kitchen to pull together some breaded chicken breast that they cut up and made in to 'tenders'. The chicken and breading was literally tasteless, no seasoning in either the chicken or the breading. Needless to say most of the 'tenders' went uneaten.
The best part of the place was that it was near Mitchell's ice cream so when the kids couldn't actually eat real food they went to fill up on ice cream (which is probably what the adults should have done).
After complaining to the manager, he was kind enough to take $100 off of our check which was admirable.
Would definitely not recommend or make any effort to make it back here.
