I'm glad it's here in Hilldale. It's a welcome addition and it brings in more foot traffic to the Hilldale area. I tried to come here on a Friday at 7:30pm and the wait was 45 minutes. No thanks. Tried again on a Sunday evening and had much better luck.
The food selection is better than the Great Dane which is right nearby. The beer selection is better than the Dane. I also enjoy the plentiful and interesting selection of scotch and bourbon. But, this place can get loud. On the Sunday night we were here, the restaurant was maybe only half full so it wasn't too bad.
We ordered the jambalaya, the quinoa skillet, and frites to share. I enjoyed that each item on their menu is paired with a beer. We ordered the suggested pairings with the jambalaya and the quinoa skillet. The jambalaya had lots of spice, but we wish it came with more rice. The quinoa skillet was good, but I wanted some contrast in texture, like a crispy bacon. The frites were delicious, but too salty for me - though that goes very well with beer.
I would definitely come back because it's close to me and better food than the Dane.
