| - I took Yelp's advice and decided to check out this local establishment with the family and some friends. I was impressed by the menu, which seemed to indicate something above average pub grub.
The good news - the food was solid. Not great, but solid. The calamari was obviously frozen, and the wings, while meaty, came with a very thin teriyaki sauce. I ordered the Amanda burger, which was pretty good. Only complaint would be the the fried egg was over-cooked, so that the yoke did not spill out (which is the point of the fried egg in the first place!). The other members of my party seemed relatively pleased with their meals, as well.
The bad news - first of all, the place had little to no a/c, and when I asked the bartender/waitress if she could turn the fan on right above our table, she said she didn't know how to turn it in. Really? Well, hope the other members of my party didn't mind me sweating profusely throughout the meal. The other issue was sad, but still unpleasant. What was presumably a homeless person came into the restaurant and occupied the nearest restroom for about a half an hour. This was a little bit of a problem seeing as how we had five children in our party with child-size bladders. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do, but the employees of this establishment should be aware that customers are put off by situations like this.
I'm sure the positive reviews were legitimately earned, but this experience was one that will likely prevent a second try. Oh well...
