I went here with my mom for a happy hour and sat inside. There is a nice outside seating area and bar along with a fireplace which looks great, but unfortunately it was raining. The drink specials are mostly around wine ($6 or so for a glass) and some sangrias. They also have a daily mixed drink special, but only one. I ordered a dirty gin martini and my mom a margarita. Im not sure if I just didnt like their gin, but something tasted strange about the drink and I believe they also forgot to put olive juice in it to make it dirty. When the bill came, I also discovered the drink was $11 which was pretty pricey considering how big it was and that I didnt really enjoy it. We also ordered a lobster and filet slider, hummus, and buffalo chicken wings. The wings came out with BBQ rather than buffalo, but they were still tasty. The hummus was good as well but a little thick, and the sliders were delicious. The server seemed very busy since she was the only one in the bar section, but she was attentive and friendly. Overall I wouldnt recommend their dirty martinis and Id make sure they get your food order correct. However, their sliders are great and my mom loved her margarita!

The good wasnt too terrible but the waitress Was terrible. There was an instantly bad vibe the minute she walked over to me. It was terrible. Then she proceeded to continue through the night. I wasnt a fan and it proved it. She was rude and was not pleasant. It was clear that she did not enjoy her job. Despite the clam facade that she put on as most waitresses do. I plan to return just hopefully not with her as my waitress. My friend I Was satisfied with her meal but mine was a burger. She started by not asking how I wanted my burger and then bringing it out raw, and I are it because I dont mind but I prefer it Weller done. I didnt see her again for another 20 minutes so even if I wanted it cooked longer it would have been cold. I wanted it cooked medium. I might as well have been blue rare.

Really nice dining experience considering this a restaurant in a mall parking lot. It avoids feeling cliche and the food really delivers for a reasonable price. On the night I visited they had an excellent Chilean sea bass daily special which was cooked to perfection and was excellently paired with seasoned rice. The cocktails are appropriately priced considering their size and all four cocktails our table tried were delicious - they infuse their own liquors and make their own syrups. There is also a nice local-ish beer selection. If you come early enough in the day there is an excellent view of the tree-covered valley. We arrived just as the sun was setting so we experienced only a few minutes of the view, but it was lovely. Certainly a worthy dining experience.

We were told to seat ourselves at the "lounge" and "push tables together" to fit our party of 6. We found a table and were subsequently told to move because it was a "reserved" table AFTER ordering drinks and appetizers. We were then told to seat ourselves in the "heated patio" (it is early March on a day that is 15 degrees). The heated patio was far too cold and we therefore left. Simply unbelievable service, we will not be returning to this restaurant any time in the future.

Went here for a party. Someone thought it was a genius idea to seat us on the outdoor patio with a -6 windchill. They did turn on space heaters. Half our party roasted under these heaters. The other half of our party wore jackets and scarves as they ate dinner. First time here and it will be our last time here.

The food was okay. The appetizer was the best part of the meal. The scallops were bland and the steak was overcooked. But the gorgonzola bread was excellent. Dont order the bloody mary. The restaurant and bathrooms were very clean. And I loved that you could see into the kitchen, which was also very clean.

Love this place for the atmosphere and food. I used to also love it for the beer but they have gone down hill recently. They would be wise to add Still Hills Brewery, Powder Hollow, Stoney Creek & Tree House to their offerings.

Excellent service. Our waiter Chris was so knowledgeable and pleasant. The food was top notch and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back! Hopefully next time will be a little cooler so we can enjoy the outside patio.

Good food at reasonable prices. Good local ingredients. Currently have Sunday and Monday nights specials for dinner. 3 courses from a more limited menu for the same price as a normal entree. Well worth the price.

Been here a couple times, and while the food is great, I want to comment on the fact that the large male bathroom stall has a baby changing station AND its own sink. Massive amounts of kudos for that.

Good local food options, big fan of the clam strips appetizer. Sizable portions and a large drink list. Bar area can get a little loud but it is separated from the main dining area.

Great Garlic & Gorgonzola Bread. Good crispy wings with side hot sauce. The signature Sunday Jim Beam cocktail was tasty.
