| - I think the only thing this place has going for is its atmosphere, which is top notch, and if it was on that I'd give 5 stars alone, but other than that this place was pretty bad.
Service was good, but we were basically the only table as it was late on a Tuesday night. the food was okay, but the portions are pretty small for the price you pay. Which echo's the sentiments in other negative reviews.
Not a great happy hour food menu, as the small plates were $8 only about $2 less than regular menu price. I was disappointed because I had ordered the perch pretzels on HH, and on the regular menu it says it comes with 3 pretzels, but I only received 2 when I got it on Happy Hour. Which turns out to you paying more per pretzel, when you get it on HH, had I known this I would have just paid the $2 more to get another pretzel because we were splitting them with our table. The mac and cheese was good, and they did advertise it was a mini but boy was it small. Only around 5 bites worth. For $8 I expect a little bit more. Also tried the Prime Dip (which you couldn't really dip because it was an open-face sandwich) but for $17 I expect to be wow'ed by a sandwich and this didn't do it for me.
Now for the beers, between our table we got the Hef, the Blonde, a Black IPA and the Saison. I didn't mind the hef, blonde and the BIPA, but again there was nothing really creative or innovative about these beers. Just a lot of mediocrity.
However the Saison was awful. I do realize this was a Brett beer, so I was expecting something funky. But this beer straight up tasted like I just got a nosebleed, and some of the blood dripped into my mouth. Everyone at my table tried it and agreed, that it was not good. It got a little more palatable as I drank it, but it was still not something I would recommend to anyone or get again.
Overall, I would never choose to come to this place again, and I will tell my friends to avoid this place in the future. The birds were cool, but they really don't make up for the fact for the overpriced food and mediocre beer.
