I bounced between a three and a four for this one. The food was good (the wedge salad was a standout hit; THAT BACON) but I was a little bit underwhelmed by the cocktails and the service. Seemed like maybe they just had a staffing issue that night; it took almost twenty minutes past our reservation time to be seated, and when our drinks arrived a good bit of the ice had melted and the flavors weren't quite as impactful as I was expecting. Still not at all a bad experience, and worth giving another shot. The interior is very well designed and the little outside fire pit area was nice as well.
TLDR; I'm a fan, I'd recommend it if you're in the area
Context - I've dined in solo, with a friend, and with a group.
Food I'd order again -
Duck taco
Skip -
the fries, the potatoes, the Brussels sprouts
Ambiance & Staff -
Great ambiance, when I've come here alone I ate & drank at the guild since it's much a more intimate area. The restaurant itself has a great ambiance and makes for an upscale place to catch up with friends or go on a nicer date.
Wait Time -
5-10 minutes
I have yet to be disappointed in this place. Cigarettes and coffee is my absolute go to drink here. Works perfectly with all the char flavors they impart in their food. Garlic meatballs are a must. Their wedge is great too. One of the better restaurant salads out there. Pro tip, only get the half order, it's more than you think. The butchers love is the only way to go for steak. Not that the others are t great, but the butchers love is exceptional.
Another tip, if it's just a party of two, try to get a seat at the bar. Not only are their bartenders friendly and attentive, but you can watch them cook all the food too. I wouldn't recommend that for groups though.
Been multiple times and love all the food. Ambience is great and service is always solid. Definitely one of my go to's in that area for dinner. Easy for a romantic / fun / hip date night spot but also very conducive to a business dinner as it's not overly loud and/or obnoxious.
I celebrated my birthday here recently and had a really good time! My boyfriend had found this restaurant on Yelp and planned a dinner with our friends to surprise me.
He shared that it was a struggle to get reservations with this restaurant and it took about a week and a half of emailing and calling the restaurant. We had a large party of 9 so he wanted to make sure that we were able to get a table reserved. The only tables they had available for large groups were outdoors. Even though it was a bit chilly, the restaurant provided space heaters for us.
We ordered lots of drinks, 2 appetizers and 2 tomahawks. The tomahawks were able to comfortably feed 9 people and it was more than enough food. The steak was very delicious and the duck fat potato's complimented the meat really well. Overall, it was a nice way to celebrate my birthday. I would save this spot for celebrating special occasions since the food is on the pricier side.
Great environment, wonderful staff that went out of their way to help my family members who had allergies, and all that simply adds to the amazing food they provide.
Great restaurant, definitely a good place for celebrations or groups and something most people could find something to enjoy.
We had a reservation for right when they opened at 5pm for 5 people and got sat right away in a large booth by the bar where you could see the wood fired oven.
The food is meant to be shared so order for the table. We ordered about 4 appetizers, one tomahawk and one vegetable entree side and that was more than enough for our party.
They have a fun cocktail list, long wine list and some beer selections.
My favorite was the bacon - it sounds super boring but it's next level. The tomahawk was ordered medium and was a little closer to medium rare so ask about the temperatures.
The service was really nice and helpful!
