I live in the area and want badly to like this place and I have eaten at various Firkin locations before.
The drinks are ok and the food is mediocre at best. I don't expect food like at a top restaurant but I do expect it to be fresh.
Here is my house salad from tonight. Full of rotten, not wilted, but rotten salad. Oh and in case you are wondering those dark leaves are not purple radicchio, they are mixed greens that have turn black after rotting. You know like when you leave that bag of lettuce in the fridge and forgot you bought it 2 weeks ago?
Who is working in the kitchen that they would think it is Ok to serve that?!! Maybe if you drink enough beer you don't notice that quality of the food.
In my server's defence they didn't charge me for my one beer. That is ok but not the point. This my my dinner and I wanted a fresh salad and didn't want to have to act as their food QA person.
Anyway, if you go there stick to nachos and beer, it is hard to serve bad nachos, or at least rotten ones.
