| - I've been here before and forgot to review it. I would have rated it probably a 2 at that point. That was probably due to the fact that we just stopped in for a beer or 2, sat at the bar and it was just so loud that we couldn't have an effective conversation about their beer offerings (there's a ton of them) with the bartenders. Beer drinking at a level this high usually involves people wanting to discuss it. #JustSayin
SHORT ANSWER; Service was par excellence, food was great and cooked as requested, beer list is mighty impressive and fresh tasting. Booths allow actual conversations to take place although the ambient volume level is still loud.
LONG VERSION: This time we stopped in for dinner about 5pm on a Saturday. It was still loud, but the place wasn't even 1/2 full so we were immediately seated at a nice booth in the back. Plenty of TVs showing sports. Our hostess was very polite and friendly, as was the girl who seated us. Our server "Molly" promptly came over to see if we wanted water and drinks. With an entire page of specialty cocktails, and 3 pages of beer to peruse - we asked for a minute and she went to retrieve 1 water for us as requested. Upon her return, we placed our order for a Sculpin and some chocolate porter that I don't recall the name of. After we chose our entrees and salads she scurried off to make that happen. The beers were fresh tasting and so was dinner. I opted for the pasta with shrimp, crab, and lobster. Pasta al dente, seafood not rubbery and very tasty. GF's steak was cooked a perfect rare as ordered but her mashed were cold. We notified Molly and a minute later a manager came over and said he was immediately rectifying that situation and if he could do anything else, let him know. Excellent customer service, as hot, fresh potatoes arrived within 2 minutes much to GFs delight. As we pushed our salads to the table's edge a gentleman (didn't catch his name), stopped by to whisk them away at which time we asked for a dessert menu and he stopped to offer some ideas for desserts that would pair well with what we were imbibing or intending to imbibe. At that point, I had polished off the Ballast Point and moved onto Basil Hayden's which Molly told me I was the first person ever to ask her for and she was unfamiliar with it. Soon enough, our other delightful cocktail server was back with the BH.
As we finished up on our plates, Molly delightedly grabbed them and put them in some fancy to-go containers and bagged them up. We decided to go with our beer guy's recommended dessert and settled on some appropriate beers to pair with them. We paired up some Belgians that were weighing in at 11% and they went well with the chocolate banana creme brulee option. Good pairing by that guy. GF was driving, since it was my b-day so she only sipped some of hers, which was the case with her first one also, as it just wasn't as tasty as the name made it out to be although it was only like 4.7ABV.
By that time, there was a line out the door waiting for tables so we headed on out so that they could turn our table in the now maxed out dining room. I'd go back.
