We came, we saw, we ate. Our group decided to eat at the bar in lieu of waiting 20-30 minutes for a table.
We were served by a couple (tag team) of excellent bartenders who provided great advice.

Our group made the decision to split the Impossible Burger and some onion rings.
The onion rings were awesome. Nice thick coat of batter, large slices of onions. What is not to like?
The Impossible Burger had a mixed review with our group. The carnivores in our group that ordered (The Farmer Brown and a customer Dry Aged Wagyu) were not as keen on the burger. I like the Impossible Burger - to me, it tasted like a burger with potato chips (mashed on top of the patty). That is probably because the impossible burger's texture is from potato I believe. It did have a "meat" taste from Heme (protein). I think it is a good alternative if I want a lower calorie meat flavored item.
Dinner / Main Meal
I decided to go off the beaten path and ordered The Crab Shack (a very large crab cake on a bun). Our bartender recommended the Angel Dust Rub, Amish Gorgonzola, and Truffle Shallot Aioli. The Crab Shack was soft and delicious with the right additions. I liked it so much that I offered samples to my group and they thought it was a hit as well.
The restaurant is in the thick of it on the North Shore. Great vibe. Great Service. Great Recommendations. I will be back.
