Have been here a couple of times, and usually like the warm atmosphere (Fireplace in the back, booths) and decent food.
Last night we walked in for a late-ish (8:30pm) dinner and were met with weird stares and some chatter from the bar - apparently there was a party coming in "soon" and they wanted to ensure that we didn't take their table. The service continued surly (our waitress was curt, and we found ourselves working it to get her to smile), and also slow. The food was fine - burgers, mac and cheese, salad - but the atmosphere was off. Oh, and that huge party table... never showed.
