| - A bit of a letdown really. I love the whole brew pub type concept (this isn't a brew pub, but they have an extensive menu and a ton of beers on tap), but I am not a big fan of chains. In this case, we had tickets to a comedy show near here, and were in the mood for a pint and some sort of fall food. In researching, we found that they had a bunch of stouts/porters, and had a grilled cheese/tomato soup on the menu. Done!
We anticipated a wait for a table, but when we got there, we had to wait a good 5 minutes to get our name in. In hindsight, I should have just gotten my phone out and called from right in front of the desk. Two of the girls at the desk spent the entire time dealing with another customer and ignoring us. Another lady tried to cut in front so I piped up, and finally got acknowledged. The wait for a table was only maybe 10-15 minutes which was reasonable.
Once seated, it did take a little while to be acknowledged by the server, and it did take an abnormally long time to actually get the beer I ordered.
We ordered the sweet potato fries for a starter, which never came because the server admitted that she never rang it in. Same with the French onion soup that my old lady ordered with her meal. This seemed quite odd because we ordered everything at the same time. We decided to skip the fries by that point since we already had our meals, but my girlfriend's street taco plate was pretty sparse so she wanted her soup. The soup did come quickly.
Her food was good, but again there was very little for what we paid. My grilled cheese and tomato soup was very good.
So I am not entirely sure we will be back. The food was good but pricey and the service was spotty. I should mention that this was on a night where there was no hockey game, so the apparent understaffing of the servers is disappointing.
I almost forgot to mention. Their beer menu online is much more extensive that at the actual restaurant. They list about 25-30 "darks" (meaning porters and stouts) online, but had about 10 at the restaurant. I was torn between a few options and thankfully they let me sample 2 beers before deciding. I really wish I could have customized my own flight they way they do at Des Schuttes in Portland or Uncle Bear's in ahwatukee. But the only flights you can do are already pre packaged for you. Oh well. With a big selection, I would have loved to do a taste test of my own.
