| - Pretty great burger, but super salty french fries. For an Ale house, the server's knowledge and their policy on beers should be significantly better.
I wanted to try the saison, but the server had never tasted it and knew nothing about it (She actually didn't even know what it was until I pointed to it on the menu). Upon asking for a taste, I was told that I could not have one because their tasters are all 2 ounces. I said that I did not need anywhere near that amount...just a small squirt in the bottom of the shot glass to get an idea of the flavor. Amongst other excuses about not allowing tastes to keep the prices down, I was told that they have "special" taps that can't pour under 2 ounces. That's when I called BS. No reputable ale house, brewery, or most bars for that matter, would trousers to provide a small taste and risk a customer not being satisfied with their order. So I told the server that I would simply order and then send it back if I didn't like it since they were giving me no other option and she knew absolutely nothing about it. When I received it, as soon as I touch my lips to it, I could tell it was pretty much a sour... Something I definitely wouldn't have wanted had I known. Anyone with any knowledge of their menu should have known something this obvious about the flavor profile. I sent it back, but was still charged. I would've argued to take it off, but my friend decided to pay for it rather than make it an issue. Too many other great places in town so no reason to return. Hash kitchen is opening next-door, I will definitely be going there for brunch next time instead... or to roaring fork if I want a burger.
