| - Been here twice now, here's my thoughts:
- The decor and seating arrangement is top notch. Love the layout, the feel, the look, the seats are comfy, just overall a great vibe.
- The food is good but a bit hit and miss. The pulled pork sliders are great, but the coleslaw they serve with it (and other dishes) is really boring. I like acidic coleslaws, but even I could make one better than this.
The chicken wings are great, crispy, meaty.... but I made the mistake of choosing the "cajun chili oil" as the sauce that came on mine, and it was bland and just made them oily. Avoid that sauce and you should love the wings.
The braised chicken parpadalle was fantastic. A bit salty by the time you're done the whole thing, but really rich and flavorful.
The pizza we had was the Momo Verde. Love the crust and the fact they go really easy on the cheese, flavors were good but overall it was too dry, needed just something more to brighten the whole thing up a bit.
- The service is hit and miss as well. Food and drinks come quickly and at great temperatures, but the staff are either really friendly or kinda snotty/rude. Very weird.
- The wine list on the menu is completely wrong, most that we ordered wasn't available and wasn't going to be any more. The staff had trouble figuring out what they did and didn't have. They explained they are switching to smaller batch wines and are in a transition... that's great, I know a lot of places are doing that, but you should change the menu, or give a supplemental wine menu until new menus are in, or at the VERY least make your staff aware of what the options are. The guy we had was confused and had to make several trips to figure it out. Kind of a bummer.
Some highs and lows both times, but overall I will definitely be back. The atmosphere is great and it would be a good place to have a quiet dinner with the wife at the back, or have some wings and beer with the boys while watching the hockey game at the front.
I would give this a 3.5 but since you can't give half stars I"ll be generous and give a 4.
