| - I -really- wanted to like this place...so much in fact that I went back three times after bad experiences. And I've been back twice with friends, because we live on Northside. But while the decor and location is great, I'm going to stick with Dexters, Tip Top, Slices and the Villa, all blocks away with better food and lower prices.
Recent service examples: Twice got the indication staff wanted us to leave, bill came early, and there were plenty of open tables. One night we went thirty minutes without wait service, when we went to find our waitress, she was upset with us in passive aggressive way. Left food on the table or bar each night, instead of asking for a box to take it home. Waited 20 minutes to get a beer at the bar. (Yes, they are often very very busy.
One evening, they brought out bare tortillas drizzled in cheese sauce with a little chicken. Felt bad for the waitress, who was awesome that evening. Se we went to Culvers to eat after spending $72 at Bear and Bottle for one round of drinks and two apps. Unfortunately, the California theme also comes with West Coast prices for food. It was so disappointing to spend $300 combined over two weeks here, and not be able to find a reason to go back.
Do yourself a solid, go to one of the other nearby local restaurants. Much better beer selections, lower prices, and they get your order right. Read less
